KESS3 MASTER: OBD, Bench, and Boot Programming
KESS3 is the powerful tool that enables the READING and WRITING of ECUs in cars, motorcycles, trucks, agricultural vehicles, and marine applications by simply connecting the supplied interface cable to the vehicle’s diagnostic port.
With thirty years of experience and nearly three years of development time, the KESS3 is the most advanced engineering feat ever developed in the chip tuning industry. Alientech has made a significant breakthrough to create something unique and extraordinary that is unrivaled in terms of functionality, convenience, and versatility.
The KESS3 was designed to provide anyone, from young engine enthusiasts to the most specialized mechatronics technicians, with a quick and easy interface to every ECU and automatic transmission on the market.
Sensational performance, high operational flexibility, and easy handling allow interfacing with both engines and transmission control units using just one tool. The KESS3 combines 3 operating modes into one tool: OBD, Bench, and Boot mode. The OBD and Bench/Boot operating modes must be purchased separately!
Operating Modes
OBD – With the OBD mode, you can easily read all ECU data via the diagnostic interface.
BENCH – A simple interface connection gives you full access to your ECU data.
BOOT – This mode allows you to access all system data areas. Read and write capabilities.
KESS3 Features
Every aspect of the KESS3 tuning tool is carefully designed to achieve optimal performance, operational flexibility, and user-friendliness. The renewed architecture utilizes the full potential of each component. A new microprocessor, state-of-the-art I/O interfaces, new integrated sensors, and powerful EEPROM and FLASH memories are the main features of the KESS3 tuning tool.
CPU
The KESS3 uses the most powerful microprocessor on the market, which is seven times more powerful than the previous generation. Pure power, executing your commands more reliably, faster, and more efficiently.
Communication Lines
The KESS3 automatically detects the correct communication line to work faster using just one OBD cable. Ethernet, FlexRay, CAN-Bus, K-Line, L-Line, J1850, J1708 – all essential lines to safely start any operation on the vehicle.
Future-Proof
GPS, accelerometer, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi – all integrated into one platform. The combination of these features and the constant technological advancements that distinguish us will allow us to develop many new functions in the future.
Performance
The renewed USB full-speed chip allows for a tenfold increase in performance when importing and exporting files to and from the KESS3 tool. But that’s not all: Alientech has added a new web infrastructure to the KESS3 tuning tool. The result is an Alientech cloud with enhanced speed and performance.
Subscriptions
The KESS3 tuning tool uses an annual subscription to provide updates and automatic features. Upon purchasing this tool, one year of activation is included. After that, the annual fee depends on the version of the tool. You can find prices on the KESS3 tool’s subscription page.
