Finally, someone did it! :-o Here it is, we should thank Tomasz, especially for all those K-5 and K-r users!
http://www.pktether.com/new-version-0-6-0
It is said that now Debug mode of *any* Pentax DSLR can be activated, including K-5, as this is re-confirmed by Tomasz in his reply in the comments section of his post, i.e., K-5 is fully tested.
So, go get the software and try it yourself. Enjoy! :-)
P.S. The Mac version of the software has not been successfully built yet, as told.
P.S. 2 As for other older Pentax DSLR models, the Debug mode menu can be opened in-camera: Method Here and Full Tutorial Here.
Update (1-9): Go onto the Next Part:-
Successfully Open the Debug Mode of My K-r! :-)

Lockups, misfires and total crashes are about all I could get from this software.
Most times, the K-5 socket would freeze and most other times the software wouldn't see the camera and when the software finally did see the camera, it would fire shots without at high speed or via software delay all on its own.
I'm all for making a Pentax tethering software, but this needs some serious debugging before being useful.

Is any one knows the designated numbers of the AF sensors in the AF module?

This is tethering software, nothing to do with de DEBUG MODE...

when I first tried this app I also was confused about it, but then I found it in the right lower corner.
you will see two buttons : " Camera debug mod ON " & " Camera debug mod OFF "
Good Luck!
