It has some distinguish capabilities that other ECU tuning tool did not have, like Verify in the battery voltage in real-time, Complete Recovery function in case ofissues, Automatic correction of the Checksum, Boot-Loader mode supported, Management of the programming counters, Scan Tool function to remove DTC, Several alternatives of reading/writing speed, Alternative to write full file/section with the map and full integration with ECM Titanium ECU programming software program. The device can not be upgraded and must be installed on Windows XP operating program.

KTAG also ok?

With KESS V2 you programming directly through the OBD port of the vehicle, while with Ktag (Ktag 2.13) you need to take apart the ECU and open it, after you can make the read/write operation.

Many ECU has the advantage that can be read and write from OBD port (so kess is perfect), but there are lot ECU that need to disassemble from the car and open and this is the case for all the ECU that need to be programmed with Jtag, BDM and Boot protocols, so KTAG is needed also.

So, kess is a ECU programming tool that is perfect for OBD use, while KTag is perfect for Jtag, BDM and all the Boot application (tricore and ST10).

Kess v2 buying guide:

There many different versions in the market. But Kess V2 firmware V4.036 is the best quality for ecu tuning via OBD, while Ktag for Jtag, BDM and all the Boot application. So, the best solution should be: Kess v2 + Ktag tuning kit:

For the reason that new assembled ECUs are programmed over this port, Bosch has put it on a 14 pin pad array. It appears like the BDM port but works completelydistinct. The power can also be supplied more than the probe, but is spite to the BDM system the voltage will not be manually switchable but automatically controlled by the DS17.
