Alientech KESSv2 — ECU Tuning Tool

ecufiles.io file service — compatible with all major tuning tools

The Alientech KESSv2 was the industry's most popular OBD ECU programming tool from 2012–2020. While superseded by KESS3, it remains relevant for older ECU platforms and is still in active use at thousands of workshops worldwide.

KESSv2 is an OBD-only device — it does not support bench or boot protocols. It operates via a token-based system with hardware-locked tokens per ECU read/write. The software (K-Suite 2) is no longer receiving new ECU protocols from Alientech, but the existing library covers almost every ECU manufactured before 2018.

Protocols Supported
  • OBD via K-Line (ISO 9141, KWP2000)
  • OBD via CAN bus
  • Direct cable protocols for select makes
Compatible ECUs
  • Bosch EDC15, EDC16, EDC17 (older variants)
  • Bosch ME7.5, MED9, MED17.1
  • Siemens SID803, SID807
  • Delphi DCM3.5, DCM6.2
  • Marelli MJD6, MJD8.F
⚠ KESSv2 is no longer receiving new ECU protocol updates. For ECUs from 2019 onward, the Alientech KESS3 is recommended.
