Ktag Firmware 7.020 Review

Here are reviews of Ktag fw v7.020 clone.
(Big thanks to all users’s feedback)
I try with edc16c31 smart 451, read write in bdm ok with ktag, read write ok in obd with kess.
I tested with a lot of edc17 in these day and read and write without problem.
I made a video with a edc17c50 bmw 120d f21 with gpt, read and write ok.
I have a fiat edc17c69 virgin (without software inside), this I can't read.
My Ktag 7.020is able to read and write EDC17C69
7.020 version runs faster and more stable.
Ktag 7.02 good working. no problem.
Ktag master 7.020 displays diagrams via words, not pictures. It’s better to understand0
I tried to read Bosch edc17c69 gpt Fiat 500X and not working, with ktag ori read and write ok.
I read a lot of edc17 and few edc17 with gpt and all read and write ok maybe there is a bug in sw/fw from alientech.
virtual reading is = servidor ALIen.
virtual reading id ecu , and download firmware.
Not real soft.

I compared 7.020 with my old 7.003. KTAG fw 7.020 adds 100+ ECU types and supports new car models e.g. Toyota 76FXXX, PSA 17.4.4, Ford E83, VW 17.5.5 (1766), Mercedes-Benz 276 ECU, Toyota 76F, etc. It should be a good budget i think.

I’ve got two versions of ktag 7.020, one with green PCB and the other with blue PCB. No much difference when using both.

ECU tuning advice: Choose KESS, KTAG, CMD, BDM100 or TL866A?

Comment choisir outil de réglage de puce ECU, KESS V2, KTAG, CMD, BDM10 ou TL866A? Quel programmeur écus pour acheter ?? Ce blog détaillé sera sûrement vous donner la réponse!

D'abord, vous devez savoir qu'il ya 4 façons de programmer ECU (selon l'année de la voiture et les types d'ECU):

1. Flashing ECU via le port de communication OBD2
2. Flashing ECU via un port BDM spécial qui est sur la carte mère de l'ECU
3. Flashing l'ECU en mode de démarrage, sur la table
4. Souder l'EEPROM sur l'ECU et reprogrammation ECU

1. Maintenant, vous allez savoir dans chaque sens de la programmation de l'ECU et les outils ECU de réglage recommandés.
2. Flashing ECU via OBD

Vous pouvez flasher plus UCE 2000 à 2.008 (et beaucoup d'entre eux, même après 2008) via le port OBD. Tout ce que vous avez besoin est un outil flash OBD, brancher l'outil avec la voiture via OBD et donner la batterie 12V stable l'alimentation électrique de votre voiture. De cette façon, vous pouvez lire ECU et flasher le fichier d'accord sur le câble. Il est le moyen le plus simple et le plus rapide de la reprogrammation ECU.

Outils recommandés:

CMD CAN Flasher V1251 €17,99

CMD CAN Flasher V1251 liste pris en charge:

https://mega.nz/#!04YWERDD!B0b-8XBb35fECzBloGf9OtjwYAUFSDvMiZRlgiFjDxs

KESS V2 Master version V2.28 FW V4.036 (pas de limites symboliques) €85

2. Flashing ECU via BDM

Most ECUs from 2002 to 2008 (and some later) have a special communication port on the motherboard called a BDM port. To access this port you need to take the ECU out of the car and open it. In this way ECU will receive a stable 12V power, and can be flashed over and over again. So this is most safe way for ECU programming. And you can also backup if something goes wrong with the flashing via OBD.

Recommended tools:

KTAG V2.13 Master version (also does boot mode, no token limits) €75

BDM100 programmer V1255 €23

3. Flashing ECU via Boot Mode

You need to take ECU out of the car, and program it on the table while connecting special cables to the ECU's connector pins. Sometimes you also need to do some soldering, like adding resistors to the motherboard…

Recommended tools:

KTAG ECU Programmer

4. Flashing via soldering EEPROM

You can use this way for older car ECUs and a big percentage of truck ECUs. You also need to take out the ECU, open it and desolder out the EEPROM chip. Then you can read EEPROM chip using an EEPROM programmer. After read, file is modified and then programmed back on a chip (or on a new, empty one). Then you solder the chip back into the ECU.

Recommended tools:

TL866A Universal EEPROM Programmer €56.99

MiniPro TL866A supported list:

How read Peugeot Boxer ECU Visteon DCU-102 by KTAG clone?

 Here I will share my review on How to diagnose a Peugeot 407 by Launch X431 V PRO. It’s a Bluetooth/WIFI tablet scanner work with Android or IOS.

I use an adapter called DBSCar Bluetooth connector to connect the scanner with my car.

Turn car ignition on and open the app

Choose Peugeot under European section, I just use the search box on right upper corner.

And it shows the Peugeot software latest version V42.98. When I click the Confirm button it automatically connect Bluetooth OK.

It automatically read my car model and VIN. And it’s correct.

Take a close look at it!

There are three options available, Quick Test, System Scan and Select System. I choose Select System and go to check the engine ECU.

Choose to read the DTC fault code

Launch X431 PRO read out 4 error codes: U1118, P1693, U2001 and P1351. And it allows me to search DTC code details online.

When I want to erase those error codes, it asks me to enter my car mileage. Then all error codes clear OK.

That’s all my review on Launch X431 PRO diagnose Peugeot 407. Hope it helps!

Why should i buy Galletto 4, Kess v2 and Ktag together?

Kess v2, Ktag, Fgtech Galletto 4 are the top 3 ECU programmers in the market. Ever failed on some ECUs? Actually, it’s necessary to buy Kess , Ktag and Fgtech all together, especially for a pro. Reasons are listed here.

Why to buy Galletto 4 and kess v2 together?

Galletto 4 work with truck, including Benz truck, read and write ECU via both BDM and OBD; KESS not works with truck, read and write ECU via only OBD, not BDM.

Why to buy Kess v2 and Ktag 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.

Why need i buy Galletto 4, Kess v2 and Ktag all together?
Because non of China tool will cover all cars good and if you buy clone tools, buy all (galletto+kess+ktag)from them, that you will cover more cars, or better to buy a good original tool if you will do the work as a pro, all depends want you will do.

Additional remark	1)  Most customers use FGTech Galletto 4 V54. Some users prove fgtech2 v52 works 50% obd. BDM works ok and work ok with tricore and st10 micros. 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.

KTM100 fw V7.003 sw V2.13/ V2.11 ECU Programming Tool Master Use Tips and tokens reset

When the ECU tunners use Chinese KTAG KTM100 fw V7.003 sw V2.13/ V2.11 ECU programming tool master, what should they pay attention to? Please read following use tips and tokens reset method.

Chinese KTM100 fw V7.003 sw V2.13/ V2.11 use tips:
1. Do not run the original software on our hardware, otherwise the hardware may be damage.
2. Connect to the internet is safe when you run our software on our hardware.
3. KTM100 all options are gray, there are two possible reasons, you may run the original software, or the tokens are used up.

Chinese KTAG KTM100 fw V7.003 sw V2.13/ V2.11 can do while other ECU tools can’t:

1. KTM100 can read the encrypted ECU computer, while Ktag can’t, for example one user tested Ktag V5.001 failed to read encrypted BOSCH MEV1746BMW(P171).
2. KTM100 can read the encrypted ECU computer, e.g BMW N55 N20 and BENZ

3. KTM100 and KTAG can perform CHEKSUM, while KESS V2 can’t.
What is CHECKSUM? Generally speaking, if you want to add power, firstly use KTAG/KTM100 read out the data, then edit the data, then use KTAG/KTM100 to perform checksum, finally write into ECU.
Get checksum error? How to fix? The answer is : usually, check the data via KTAG/KTM100.

How to reset KTM100 tokens?

Shown as the following picture, just press this token to reset tokens.
Use tips: press this button, meanwhile connect to the power supply. If you just press this button, but not connect to the power, it won’t work, because the factory consider the case that if you press this button carelessly, it may result in data read failure or writing failure.

KTM100 get following error message, how to fix?

Which clone ECU programmer can read good EDC17?

Kess v2 + Ktag read and program Bosch EDC17

Ktag, kess v2, FgTech galletto v54, MPPS V16...are all good at Bosch EDC17? Tips are here for good ECU programmers (esp. Ktag and kess) to read EDC17.

Kess v2 will programunprotectedBosch EDC17's via OBD.

If the EDC17 ECU is protected, then Ktag can be used to program in boot mode.

Some ECU's can beunlocked, in boot mode with Ktag and then programmed with Kess.

kess v2 obd reads are often partial,

Ktag reads are normally full reads.

If you want to program EDC17's then I would suggest buying Kess v2 and Ktag, together they are great tools.

Buy KESS V2 or KTAG or FGTECH?

KESS V2 is a ECU programming tool that is perfect for OBD use, With KESS V2 you programming directly through the OBD port of the vehicle. Many ECU has the advantage that can be read and write from OBD port (so KESS V2 is perfect).

If you want to make a full BDM read, recommend you use Ktag SW V2.13 FW V6.070. KTag is perfect for Jtag, BDM and all the Boot application (tricore and ST10), with Ktag you need to take apart the ECU and open it, after you can make the read/write operation. 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 withJtag, BDM and Boot protocols, so KTAG is needed.

FGTECH Galletto is advanced ECU programmer, it reads and writes the Engine ECU data via BDM, OBD and tricore. It covers Motorcycle that KESS V2 and KTAG can't do, and fgtech is no token limitation.

Where to buy KESS V2, KTAG and Fgtech?

I strongly recommend you www.obd2france.com who has been dealing with these tools for many years so the quality and price trustful.

I take the several version of KESS V2, KTAG and FGTECH PCB for example, since there are available multi-versions and with different PCB.

Seeing is believing!

This is KESS V2 firmware V4.036 PCB.

This is Ktag firmware V6.070 PCB.

This is FGTech Galletto V54 PCB

I think the essential differences among KESS V2, KTAG, FGTECH V54 are listed above, hope it helps.
