X300 DP has four buttons on the left, while X300 DP Plus is a real pad without buttons.
– with a back bracket/support on the back:

You cant put the unit on the steel wheel or on the table when you are testing with a car.
– reduce production cost:

Obdstar adopts high-tech but spends a lot on it’s firmware design. But the pad works as a real diagnostic tool in fact, so it’s unnecessary to do so. X300 DP Plus cut the cost in firmware design but make sure of the performance as good as X300DP.

– new adapters:

3 adapters are integrated into the X300 PAD Plus: EEPROM /PIC 2-in-1 adapter, RFID adapter (VW Audi 4th / 5th IMMO programming and other cars e.g Porsche, BMW, Fiat etc.) and Renew Key PCF79XX adapter.
