Hello i have the same version for photo, on marelli 6f3 writes, me tells me writing done correctly, but no more cars .... restart in bdm, flash seems wrong on cecksum
you solved ?Somebody knows why

Someone knows the reason
And what fixes I can do depends on hardware or firmware thanks

Regarding the Speaker it doesn't matter. The tool will give just a "Beep" on some ford's and jaguar's but you also get a message on the screen. So you can add it or not.
All the hw fixes depend on the pcb.

Shouldn't be too hard to figure out, use a multimeter, find ground on board, put one end on ground, and another on each of the speaker's pad the one with 0 resistance is negative.

Hi Gent's

Anybody used to repair or rework tricore adapter for Kess V2, mine stopped working at all, I want to rebuild it.

Hi
I have Kess v2 with FW 3.099 . I need help which software work with 3.099 firmware and need sd card files too.
Someone will help with download links ?

**mbtun** · 19th June, 2017, 07:30 AM

3.099 you can use with any Ksuite higher that 2.06.
For the SDcard files you already have them in your toole

I recently bought a Kess SW: v2.32 / FW: v4.036 + KTag SW: v2.13 / FW: v6.070 (shipment hasn't arrived yet). A few days after I placed the order, they started selling Kess SW V2.23: / FW: 5.017 + KTag SW: v2.23 / FW: 7.020.

My question is, if I manage to get the updated fw files, or if the files become available. Will I be able to update with the hardware I bought or will I need to make some physical changes to the pcb?

Hello.
I'm almost sure hardware is same, because some sell NXP including firmware 5.017 and sdcard software.
It's expensive, more than 200?, compare to complete Kess V5.017 + all cables for 290? with DHL.
It's impossible to found firmware only because sellers will lost their business, so only NXP preprogrammed with read security enable.

**adekbws** · 21st June, 2017, 11:53 AM

mbtun but I format my sdcard, becouse i had "wake up" error, then I copied to the sd card files for version k-suite 1.89. and run software k-suite 2.32 but when i try to read i have "invalid protocol" error, so i think i need the correct files to sdcard , where
can i find them ?

I am new at this thing and I would like to have a clone KESS. What is the risk of it ? Is it possible that harm ECU with connecting clone KESS via OBD ??
Thanks

Hello, you can use the clones for ecu's without any ( contenute ) risk, is better you read and write always with same tool, be sure the file you go to write is correct, for some ecu's is better make a full back up with Ktag, and you can be quiet, always thing appaned, you have a full back up.
