1.Basic info comparison table of best clone Kess v2 master, Ktag master and Fgtech Galletto V54.

2.Being a professional ECU tunner, which one to have?

1). Kess (even china good clone)…more stable than Mpps on can-line and good job on recovery…mpps good job on k-line (sometimes and can-line)…fgtech (i hate this tool)-but sometimes save your as…and best ktag-trasdata-no obd but safe boot mode,pinout direct conection and bdm…i talk about low price tools.

2). 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 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.

3). Fgtech Galletto V54 ECU programming tool is perfect for both OBD use and BDM use. Fgtech Galletto is the no tokens limitation while KESS V2 and Ktag will use tokens.

To sum up, being a professional ECU tunner, you need all the above-mentioned tools: Kess v2 master, MPPS, Ktag master, Fgtech Galletto V54.

FYI, master Version VS slave version:

if you have master version you can work directly on the program you have write on the vehicle (tunning, egr off, ….) and rewrite after directly.

if you are a slave customer (who depend of a master (who do modificated), you read the programme (scripted by genius), you send it to the master, he do what you want (money paid) and he re-sent to you to write in the ecu machine.

it is expensive for the slave user who depend of a master.

3.What ECU programmers are best which are verified working fine and good investment.

(The EDC17 made by OBD are Audi, bmw and renault without Tp)

Kess accept virtual read i test on AUDI A5 2.0 TDI 143hp 2013 EDC17CP46. it”s ok by obd

ksuite Sw reset token when open, same as all kess 5.017 or new ktag 7.020/26 Fw.

Berlingo 9HX: only readID from engineand works ok

PSA Bosch EDC 16: read ok

Skoda Octavia 1.9 AXR EDC15: read ok

BMW EDC17CP02: OBD write ok

BMW EDC15: OBD read/write ok

Ford Mondeo SID206: read/write ok

K-line and CAN both OK

VW EDC17CP14: read/write with tricore module

2) Ktag KTM100 firmware 7.003 reviews

K-tag KTM100 firmware 7.003 reviews… here you go.

Interface Tested.It works great.
Made a 116d F20 successfully. Good job !

KTM100 is just 6.070 firmware transferred to trasdata which is equivalent to 7.003 on KTM100

Ktm 100 100% Working on Bmw F31 335Xdrive, i have ever tried it. Working!!.

tricore boot mode ktm100 test read ok
test ecu med17.1.1 audi a8 v8 2012y
writing : no
ecu clon no

ktm100 can make edc17c64. where to find fake firmware v7.003 to upgrade v6.070, then there is posible to make edc17c64 on eu clones.

KTAG V7.020 and dimsport ktm100 is the same hardware with separate software.

There is no Update from version 6.070 to 7.003, because Board is different, Board is from Dim Sport, and Software too.

read and write without problem, i cannot believe there, but there is true.

My friend have Ktag v7.003 clone and he made edc17c64 without problem.

I try it with edc17c64; reading ok,writing ok

3). Fgtech Galletto V54 reviews

Fgtech Galletto china clone is no gold immersions but PCB and soldering quality is really very good, Fgtech galletto china clone have the same component of EU clone.
Also I have 2 galletto. One with yellow relays and second one with black. Both of them works very good.

I test FGtech galletto V54 on Audi 2009, Tiguan 2009, Passat 2009 and Golf 6 2009. It supports not all ecus edc17, Sure edc17cp04 and edc17cp14 year 2009 can read-write in obd. But edc17cp20, edc17cp44,etc, etc same year, have tricore protected active, and if you write in obd, ecu bloqued. I think TProt on VAG are present from 05/2009 but is very random this option is most present on engine with low power and is not compeer to years or ecu type.The best way to know if tp is active is always bootmode and read tag on file.
