OBDStar CAN Direct Kit to Read ECU Data of Gateway Vehicles

OBDSTAR CAN Direct Kit is a specialized hardware adapter designed to read ECU data on vehicles that use gateway modules, which block direct access to the CAN bus through the standard OBD‑II diagnostic port. Most modern vehicles use these gateway modules to restrict what diagnostic tools can access, especially for security‑sensitive data like immobilizer and key information.

Primarily Used For:

• Proximity key programming (e.g., Toyota “4A” smart key systems) – you can read immobilizer data without removing the ECU or connecting to it on a bench.

• All‑Keys‑Lost (AKL) key programming on supported models when used with compatible programming tools.

• Additional ECU reads for diagnostics, calibration, or other CAN‑level data. (Availability may depend on the tool you pair it with.)
