How to use OBDSTAR VW4-AKL Cable to read IMMO data for VW IV NEC+24C32 and NEC+24C64 dashboard?


Use OBDSTAR VW4-AKL Cable to work with OBDSTAR X300 DP Plus on Bench. No removing IC! No soldering PCB, even when all keys are lost. It is also compatible with X300 Pro4 and X300 Classic G3.


Tools Required:

OBDSTAR VW4-AKL Cable and compatible software (e.g., OBDSTAR X300 DP or similar). The VW4-AKL cable consists of DC power connector, probe, power switch and dashboard plug.


With this dedicated cable, there’s no need removing IC, soldering PCB and making server data. And we can read IMMO data by BENCH.

Make sure the connection is complete, and perform the function below.
