The OBDSTAR™ Key Master G3 tablet: the automotive/motorcycle/marine programming reference
The OBDSTAR™ Key Master G3 tablet (X300 Classic G3) is the flagship product of the range at Keyfirst. Available in an English/French version exclusively distributed through Keyfirst, it represents the latest generation of key and IMMO programming tools. Built for intensive use, it covers a vast vehicle fleet: thermal and electric cars, motorcycles, HGVs, boats and jet-skis, with a fluid interface available in English and French.
Core functions included with the G3 cover: IMMO and key programming, transponder reading and writing, dealer key and start key creation, IMMO regeneration and deletion, EEPROM and MCU reading/writing, and advanced ECU cloning by compatibility. Among the advanced functions included or available as options: motorcycle programming without PIN code (Harley-Davidson™, Triumph™, Ducati™), marine remote controls for jet-skis and boats (Yamaha™, Kawasaki™), programming for recent electric vehicles (BYD™, MG™, LI™), ECU unlocking (Fiat™, Jeep™, Dodge™), all-keys-lost solutions (Smart 453™, Renault Clio 4™, Dacia Sandero™), and Renault post-2015 PIN code reading without lockout. Optional paid software modules include Odomaster (odometer correction), P50 (airbag reset) and DC706 (ECU/ECM/TCM/BCM/BSI cloning).
G3 Green (FRA) vs G3 Orange (World): why the French version makes the difference
There are two versions of the OBDSTAR™ G3 tablet on the market: the Green G3 (FRA), distributed exclusively by Keyfirst for France and Europe, and the Orange G3 (World), available on generalist sites for the international market. These two versions are not equivalent, and the choice has direct consequences on professional productivity. To understand all the differences, read our complete guide: Green G3 vs Orange G3.
The Green G3 (FRA) is the only version to offer flash reading and data rewriting, immediate updates (vs 2 to 3 months for the Orange version), French technical support, a 2-year European warranty, 24-48h delivery and instalment payment options. The Orange version has none of these advantages: English interface only, slow updates, no European warranty, 3-week minimum delivery, cash payment only and no after-sales recourse. For professionals working on the French and European market, the Green G3 is not a choice among others: it is the only relevant version, exclusively available through Keyfirst.

Keyfirst has produced a complete series of video tutorials dedicated to OBDSTAR™ products, available on the official Keyfirst YouTube channel.
Essential OBDSTAR™ cables and accessories for the G3
The performance of the OBDSTAR™ G3 tablet depends significantly on the cables and accessories that accompany it. Keyfirst stocks the complete OBDSTAR™ cable ecosystem. The FCA 16+32 Gateway Renault™/Nissan™/FCA™ cable is the best-selling cable: it enables gateway interventions on Renault™, Nissan™ and FCA group vehicles (Fiat™, Alfa Romeo™, Lancia™, Jeep™). The Renault™/Smart™/Jeep™/Fiat™ converter connector is essential for DP Plus procedures. The FCA 12+8 cable covers Chrysler™, Dodge™, Jeep™ and Fiat™ vehicles on FCA Secured Gateway systems.

Frequently asked questions about OBDSTAR™ products
What is the difference between the Key Master DP Plus and the Key Master G3? The Key Master DP Plus is the previous generation of the OBDSTAR™ range, still actively supported and updated. The Key Master G3 is the latest generation: more powerful, with extended coverage for electric vehicles, motorcycles without PIN codes and boats/jet-skis. The G3 also includes flash reading and data rewriting, absent on the DP Plus. For workshops already equipped with a DP Plus, most cables and accessories are compatible with the G3, which simplifies the transition.
Does the OBDSTAR™ G3 tablet cover electric vehicles? Yes, the G3 covers the latest electric vehicles on the market: BYD™, MG™, LI™ (Li Auto), Polar™ and other emerging manufacturers. Compatibility evolves regularly via certified updates available at Keyfirst. For the Green version (FRA/EU), updates are immediate as soon as a new manufacturer or model is integrated into the OBDSTAR™ database.
Can the OBDSTAR™ G3 tablet be purchased on instalment? Yes, Keyfirst offers instalment payment options for the OBDSTAR™ G3 Green tablet. This is one of the exclusive advantages of the version available through Keyfirst, as opposed to the Orange version available on generalist sites, which only offers cash payment. Contact Keyfirst support or check the product listing for current financing conditions.
Are OBDSTAR™ DP Plus cables compatible with the G3? The majority of OBDSTAR™ cables developed for the Key Master DP Plus are compatible with the G3, including FCA cables, OBDII-16 adapters, the Renault™/Smart™/Fiat™ connector and the M001A main cable. Some advanced cables are specific to the G3 (FBS3 KIT Mercedes™, MQB cable, VW4 KL, Toyota-30 V2 CAN DIRECT). If in doubt about a specific cable's compatibility with your equipment, the Keyfirst technical support ticket provides confirmation before purchase.
