Transmit custom K-Line signals with Julie™ SEND DATA

While modern automotive networks are dominated by high-speed data buses, seasoned professionals know that the K-Line is far from dead. Many older vehicles, classic cars, and specific electronic modules still rely heavily on K-Line communication for diagnostics, wake-up sequences, and immobilizer data. If you need to bench-test these older components or simulate a specific K-Line signal, you need a reliable, customizable tool.

Enter the Julie™ SEND DATA emulator.

Unlike our standard, pre-programmed emulators, Julie SEND DATA puts you in the driver's seat. It is a fully customizable, standalone device designed to let you generate and send your own specific K-Line pulse trains, making it an indispensable tool for advanced automotive electronics work.

Why Use Julie SEND DATA for K-Line?

Working with K-Line often involves sending precise sequences of high and low pulses to initiate communication or bypass older security systems. Instead of using bulky diagnostic interfaces or writing complex microcontroller code, Julie SEND DATA acts as a tiny, plug-and-play signal generator.

It is the perfect solution for:

  • Waking Up Vintage ECUs: Send the exact initialization pulse sequence required to wake up older engine control units or instrument clusters on the test bench.
  • Custom Immobilizer Emulation: Recreate specific K-Line data streams to emulate the presence of an immobilizer box or key reader in older vehicles.
  • Passenger Seat Mat Diagnosis: Easily diagnose or emulate a faulty passenger seat occupancy sensor (seat mat). By sending the exact K-Line signal the airbag control module expects, you can quickly verify faults and test the system.
  • Bench Testing: Continuously broadcast a specific signal state to keep a module active while you perform repairs or diagnostics outside of the car.

The Power of the Online Configurator

You don't need any coding skills to create complex K-Line signals. We have developed a free, intuitive web-based tool that makes signal generation incredibly simple.

Using the Julie™ SEND DATA — BIN Configurator, you have complete control over the pulse train mechanics. The setup is broken down into four easy steps:

  1. Start Delay: Define exactly how long the emulator waits after power-on before it starts driving the K-Line.
  2. Logic State: Choose the initial line level—whether the signal starts High or Low.
  3. Cycle Count: Decide how many times the entire sequence should repeat (or set it to '0' to loop endlessly).
  4. Signals: Add specific pulse durations in milliseconds. The line toggles after every defined duration, allowing you to easily shape the pulse train. You even get a real-time Waveform Preview to visually confirm your signal shape!

Once your sequence is ready, the configurator generates a simple .bin file. Just download it, write it to the 24C02 EEPROM memory on your Julie emulator, and your custom K-Line device is ready to go!

Need Inspiration? Check Immo Bypass!

If you are not sure exactly how to build your pulse sequence from scratch, we have you covered. You can find ready-to-use, example test files directly inside our Immo Bypass software. Simply download an example file for your specific test case, write it to the emulator, and see how it works instantly!

See It in Action!

We want to make sure you get the most out of this tool. We have prepared a short video that demonstrates how to navigate the configurator, set up your pulse durations, and write the final file to the emulator memory.
