KESS3 Protocols Releases!
21.01.2026 – Upgrade 2.79
With this release, Alientech further strengthens its support for the South American market by introducing BENCH mode for Marelli 9GV ECUs on Volkswagen 1.6 MSI and 1.6 Total Flex engines. Introduced from 2014 onwards, these powertrains are still a cornerstone of the extra-European vehicle fleet: vehicles designed to adapt to different fuels and intensive operating conditions.
BENCH connection ensures full and secure access to the ECU, ideal even when OBD communication is not available.
The result? Operational continuity, greater control, and the ability to work without compromise on one of the most strategic segments worldwide. An upgrade that is not only technical, but also commercial: broader coverage, more opportunities, more value for your workshop.
