What’s New: ALIENTECH KESS3 introduces new BOOT Unlock and BENCH read/write protocols for protected Bosch MD1CP017 “Locked” ECUs fitted to the latest-generation Jaguar and Land Rover(JLR) mild-hybrid diesel vehicles equipped with 2.0 D165 MHEV and 2.0 D200 MHEV engines, manufactured from 2021 onwards.
