Part Number: 81271016593
Description:
This listing is for a used genuine MAN digital tachograph control unit manufactured by Siemens VDO for 24V commercial vehicles. OEM reference 81.27101-6593 (81271016593) as fitted to MAN TGX, TGS, TGA and TGL trucks with Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards. The unit integrates the legal driver working time recorder, vehicle speed and distance registration, and interfaces with the CAN bus and speed sensor. It mounts in the dashboard console in standard 1‑DIN format and is designed specifically for heavy commercial vehicles.
The tachograph was removed from a fully operational MAN truck and was powered up and checked for basic operation before dismantling. Display, push buttons (1/2 driver keys, navigation pad with OK button), card slots and status LED responded correctly at time of removal. The front panel shows normal cosmetic wear from use, including light scratches and marks, but no cracks or broken fixings. The metal case has surface marks consistent with age. All original manufacturer labels are present, including MAN part number 81.27101-6593, Siemens VDO production code 1381.1051009007 A, wiring diagram and 24V marking. Battery change sticker on the casing indicates previous internal battery service, which is common for used tachographs.
This tachograph is suitable for a wide range of MAN heavy-duty trucks using the same type of digital VDO unit, including (where fitted) TGX, TGS, TGA and TGL models within the Euro 5 and Euro 6 production years. Cross-references include MAN 81.27101-6593 / 81271016593 and Siemens VDO 1381.1051009007 A / A2C53336776. Please always compare your existing part numbers and connector layout before ordering to ensure correct compatibility with your vehicle.
Being an electronic control and legal metering device, professional installation is strongly recommended. After fitting, the unit must be coded and calibrated to the specific vehicle, tyres and driver cards by an authorised tachograph centre in your country in order to comply with local regulations. Some markets may also require sealing of the unit after calibration.
Genuine MAN OE quality provides correct interface with the vehicle CAN network and long-term reliability compared with universal aftermarket units. This part is ideal as a cost‑effective replacement for a failed or damaged tachograph, or as a spare for workshop stock.
