Overview
All three OBDSTAR units—X300 Classic G3, DC706, and P50—come with the P004 adapter, which facilitates connections for OBD or module operations. The MP001 adapter, essential for EEPROM reading and ECM cloning, is included with the G3 but not with the DC706. Regardless of subscription status, the tools will continue to function, though updates will not be available without a valid subscription. Renewal before the subscription expires can lead to cost savings.
