The OBDSTAR 30 pin cable allows us to make Toyota 4A and 8A-BA proximity without pin code. So we don’t need to pay for the pin code from 3d party. It is not only compatible with OBDSTAR tools, but also Autel MaxiIM IM508/IM608 series.
The 30 pin cable was tested on the new Grand Highlander, Tundra, BZX4, Prius and Lexus NX450H+ 2023, all working fine.
For example:
This is a 2023 BZ4X electric model with 8A-BA proximity and new TMLF19 Toyota smart box. Here shows how to add a spare key using IM508+ OBDSTAR 30 pin cable.
