Why I need to buy KESS V2 and Ktag programmer together?
KESS V2 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).
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 V2 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.

Fgtech galletto not disappoint them never. 2) KESS V2 has Anti-mediation lock module, it can do new and encrypted cars better than Fgtech. Remark: no one is perfect, maybe is good to have more than one tool, but much better is to have one good tool. |
