A question before ordering?An MFT Dev engineer checks the right configuration for your vehicles with you.
Ask an engineerThe OBDSTAR MT501 is a bench test platform: a 5″ tablet that powers up, outside the vehicle, instrument clusters, climate control panels, Land Rover / Jaguar gear selectors and the Mercedes ABS unit. These modules only switch on when they receive the car’s CAN messages: the MT501 sends them. You test the module on the workbench, before or after repair.

🔌 What you do with the MT501
Instrument clusters
Bench power-up to check a cluster before fitting it on the customer’s car, or during its repair, without the vehicle.
Climate control panels
Power-up and test of BMW G series, Audi A6L, Q5, Q7, Volkswagen MQB, Touareg and Ford Edge climate control panels.
Gear selector
Bench test of the Land Rover / Jaguar rotary selector: knob deployment and gear selection.
Mercedes ABS unit
Power-up of the ABS unit on the Mercedes W204 chassis; with the T008 cable, your diagnostic tool can then read the module.
🚗 Modules covered

| Gear selector | Land Rover / Jaguar |

🧰 Which tools does it work with?
The MT501 works on its own: it is a complete tablet, with its cable and adapter. With the optional T008 cable, you can also connect your diagnostic tool to the module powered by the MT501.
Already have a Key Master G3? Its “Test platform” activation contains exactly the same lists (clusters, climate control, gear selector, ABS) and adds head units, BMW EBA, 48 V batteries / DC-DC and the Audi 48 V starter-alternator. The DC706 does not offer this function.
Good to know: only the modules on the list power up. The MT501 does not drive electric air conditioning compressors: that is the job of the MT502. The dedicated cables T006 (Land Rover / Jaguar gear selector), T007 (climate control panel) and T008 (Mercedes ABS) are optional. No CAN frame capture or sending.
