2024 Original ALIENTECH KESS3 ECU and TCU Programming Tool Slave/ Master via OBD, Boot and Bench Replaces KESS V2 KTAG
KESS3 is the new Alientech ECU and TCU Programmer via OBD, Bench and Boot Mode all in a single tool.
KESS3 combines 3 operating modes in one tool. OBD, Bench and Boot mode.
OBD– With the OBD mode, you can easily access all the ECU data through the diagnostic socket.
BENCH– A simple interface to the connector and you have complete access to the data of your ECU.
BOOT– This mode allows you to access all system data areas. Read, Write and Clone.
Xhorse Multi-Prog ECU & TCU Programmer Clone Tool with Free MQB48 License RH850 Expert Mode Batch Write Chips Updated of VVDI Prog
Xhorse MULTI-PROG Pro-level programmer is a reading and writing device for automotive chips, electronic modules, especially ECU modules. It integrates the programming, reading, writing and cloning functions of common automotive MCUs, automotive memory chips, common electronic modules and automotive ECU boards.
VVDI Multi PROG Pro-level programmer supports batch writing of chips, and batch writing of chips is often used in factories when production requires large-scale writing of chips. The types of writes supported are common memory series and common microcontroller series. For the specific usage of batch writing, please refer to the documentation of the factory usage mode that comes with the software.
Batch programming function: Multi-PROG devices support factory usage mode for batch programming of chips. In this mode, the functions of batch programming, offline programming, and file offline programming can be realized. The main difference between Xhorse VVDI PROG programmer and Xhorse MULTI-PROG Pro-level programmer is that MULTI-PROG Pro-level programmer has the batch programming function but VVDI PROG programmer does not.
