BOOT – With Boot mode, with the engine control unit opened, you could connect directly to all the memories of ECU/TCU.
2. What is the difference between Master and Slave?
As a Master user, you can read the files in clear. This allows you to operate independently in order to remap and reprogram the ECU with modified files. As a slave user, only your master will be able to decrypt your files. (Recommended choice for taking the first steps in chiptuning, supported by your Master)

Kess V3 supports multi-language and one year subscription for free upon activation. It has a Slave and Master version, and supports upgradable from Slave to Master. It can work with some existing KESS V2 cables for old models. Working with the unique Alientech Suite software, it’s super fast to read, write and calculate checksum for car, motorcycle, truck/tractor, agricultural and marine with separate protocols.
It needs to read ECU Password via OBD Protocol, and read/write ECU in boot mode.




Kess V3 Continental SID310 ECU Support List:








4.Hexprog II (Bench and Boot modes)
Price: $575.00 (basic set)
Hexprog II supports Bench Mode for Mercedes Benz and Infiniti vehicles, eliminating the need to physically open the ECU. Through ECU programming, users can clone and modify the ECUs, including Chip Tuning for enhanced performance.

To perform tasks such as ECU Repair, ECU Cloning, or read-write operations on the SID310 ECU, it is necessary to retrieve the OBD password from the respective vehicles of Nissan, Renault, Dacia, or Opel. In Hexprog II Tuner software, there is an option available to retrieve this OBD password, but it can only be done in boot mode due to the enhanced security of the ECU.

In addition, other China ECU clones like Foxflash, PCMtuner, Kess V2, and KT200 also can read/write CONTINENTAL SID310 well.
However, it’s recommended to use the original ECU programmer to ensure high quality and good after-sale service. Multi Prog and FC200 is more cost-effective to choose, and Kess V3 supports the most protocols but it's more expensive. Not one tool supports everything! You can have one or more tools depending on your need.
