How does the KESS3 compare KESSv2 and K-TAG

The transition from Alientech KessV2 to Kess3 indeed brings about significant enhancements and advantages. Here’s a breakdown of the main differences and benefits:

1. Combined Functionality: The Kess3 integrates both OBD tuning and boot/bench tuning capabilities into a single tool, eliminating the need for separate devices like KessV2 and T-tag. This streamlines operations and simplifies the tuning process.
2. Unified Software: Kess3 operates on Alientech Suite, a new software platform that offers improved speed and user-friendliness compared to the previous K-Suite. The upgraded software enhances efficiency and reduces the time required for tuning.
3. Enhanced Processing Power: With a superior processor, Kess3 accelerates data processing, resulting in faster checksum calculations during tuning. This boost in processing speed significantly reduces waiting times and expedites the overall tuning process.
4. Reduced Cable Requirement: Kess3 minimizes the need for numerous unique car cables by utilizing the standard OBDII car cable for a broader range of tuning and programming tasks, simplifying cable management and reducing clutter.
5. Flexible Protocol Configuration: Kess3 offers more flexibility in protocol and software activations, allowing users to select and pay for specific vehicle types and tuning options. This customization enhances convenience and ensures users only pay for features relevant to their needs.
6. Support and Updates: While support for KessV2 is still available, updates and technical support will cease within the next 12 months. This makes Kess3 the future-proof option for ongoing support and updates. Additionally, trade-in offers provide existing KessV2 users with an opportunity to upgrade to Kess3 at a discounted rate, ensuring they can take advantage of the latest technology and features.
