Obdstar p50 airbag reset tool

[paulocallaghan]

i bought obdstar p50 airbag reset stand alone tool from ebay for approx 700 euros . i have ttied it on 2026 vw , 2018 peugeot and 2017 volvo , i have ried all 4 on the bench , it connects to the cotroller and reads the part number and stored crash , when i try to clear crash data on all 3 modules it fails to clear the crash data and etored crash is still in module , is this just a crap tool ????

Check carefully what it says to connect. You cannot connect a large number of VW controllers on the table because they require a different CAN. You need to connect through the gateway. My friend has this device and so far he only has problems with the drivers on the protected Renesas and Motorola systems.

Obdstar p50 doesn't always do what it says it can. I can't say it doesn't work. It works but has issues. They don't care to rectify the list of what it can do. Even when you point it out to them

I think the options for clear crash by obd are good, i don't really test the clear files where you have to read/write eeprom or mcu.

I bought this tool couple years ago because it claimed it could do new range rover tc23 locked mcu, but infact it couldn't do them.

I use it now and again, its a good tool but there are many better options out there for sure

To work with airbag modules, cpt is the most reliable tool in that field, its far better than these chinese crap when it comes to real job

CPT hardware tools are very weak, always with problems, and talking about read new modules with locked processors the CPT team are very lazy too, better is Carprog

Hi
Does carprog reads and lets you save the files from can lines? Or is just like p50 most of the time you can't save your original file

yes, Carprog let you save the original files read by CAN lines
