A completely redesigned and new suite, in design and architecture
THREE OPERATING MODES
OBD Mode
With the OBD mode, you can easily access all the ECU data through the diagnostic socket.
BENCH Mode
A simple interface to the connector and you have complete access to the data of your ECU.
BOOT Mode
This mode allows you to access all system data areas. Read, Write and Clone.
RENEWED ARCHITECTURE
Since 1991, Alientech has been designing and developing tools for ECU remapping.
Driven by the passion for excellence, Alientech incorporates all their design experience in this new tool.
Every aspect of KESS3 is carefully designed to achieve performance, operational flexibility, and ease of use.
Its renewed architecture fully exploits the full potential of each component – namely its newest microprocessor (alongside its latest generation I/O interface), high-speed flash memory storage unit, along with additional hardware sensors.
INNOVATIVE DESIGN
KESS3 case design is anything but ordinary. Alientech has provided added value by researching and incorporating the best usable materials offering you versatile and rugged mobility.
KESS3 is built around a fiberglass shell which gives it lightness and flexibility. An ergonomic shell, resistant to shocks and vibrations means an extraordinarily strong tool that can go anywhere without being weighed down or broken easily.
Wherever you go, KESS3 can go too – this device was made for those who never stop working!
KESS3 CASE
Ideal product arrangement, everything is exactly where it needs to be. High security, because your business must never stop.
The design derives from military studies and applications; housings on the upper part that facilitate storage, pressure valve in closing, for air transport; snap closure for maximum safety; stop on the suitcase to avoid taking up space on the counter. KESS3 does not travel alone, not only the instrument, but also all the basic accessories you need to work.
CASE CONTENTS

FAQ’S
How can I interface and program the control units?
With KESS3 you can program the engine control units (ECU) or transmission control unit (TCU) in three different ways:
OBD – With the OBD mode, you can easily access all the ECU data through the diagnostic socket.
BENCH – With the Bench mode you can access the ECU data directly from the connector
BOOT – With Boot mode, with the engine control unit opened, you could connect directly to all the memories of ECU/TCU.
What is the difference between Master and Slave?
As a Master user, you can read the files in clear. This allows you to operate independently in order to remap and reprogram the ECU with modified files. As a slave user, only your master will be able to decrypt your files. (Recommended choice for taking the first steps in chiptuning, supported by your Master).
What types of vehicles are supported?
Alientech supports hundreds of thousands of vehicles. Not only engine control units, but also transmission control units equipped on cars, motorcycles, tractors, trucks and boats. To know all the vehicles that Alientech supports, you can easily consult our vehicle list.
I am a KESSv2 / K-TAG customer, but the subscription has expired. Can I get the new tool?
Yes, even for you, during the trade-in phase there is an enhancement of the instrument regardless of the validity of your instrument.
Are my old KESSv2 / K-TAG accessories compatible with KESS3?
YES. All KESSV2 or K-TAG accessories are and will be compatible with KESS3.
