Live demonstration using KESS to read/write data to car.
KESS V2 chip tuning kit (latest 2017v) let's you quickly, easily and safely tune car performance and modify it's systems behavior in 4 easy steps as shown below...
It let's you download vehicles ECU chip data (even if it's encrypted, like on new cars) - which you can then modify using a car map editing software.
Once edited, upload the data file back to car and see immediate changes with performance, dynamics, component behavior, etc.
Here's how it works in 4 steps...
STEP 1: Plug KESS into car's OBD-II port
STEP 2: Plug KESS into laptop's USB port
STEP 3: Launch KESS software
STEP 4: Read/Write data to vehicles EEPROM ECU chip
What's more, tuning/remapping is completely safe because you can backup and restore original ECU data back to car in 1-click.
Who's it for?...
It's either for home car owners who'd like to save on fuel, improve horse power, adjust driving comfort (like RPM to gear change)...
Or for high-tech advanced car technicians/tuning shops who already tune for customers and need a tuner with a much larger vehicle support. Or even if you'd like to start tuning for money... since it's a highly profitable business... and you can easily charge up to $1000 - $2500 per tune.

A: Correct, Kess V2 can not do EDC17. However it can do EDC16 well, but when you do it, you need to connect the Anti-mediation lock module to read and write data for vehicles. Because new style vehicles have new encrypted techniques.Q: How to do checksum for KESS V2? Does the KESS V2 automatically re-write it? Also, can Kess V2 can do trucks like Mercedes MP1/MP2/MP3 or MAN TGA?
