Flash car with EDC16, Kess Clone Red or Green?

ECU type: EDC16

Purpose: to flash the car and need a cheap tool as it's for one job.

ECU programmer:
Kess Clone Red
Local tuner wants £100 just to flash my file, it's cheaper to buy a tool.

Reviews:
1. 
1). the device is only for reading and overwriting the file in the KESS / KTAG RED EU ECU

2). Some professional that makes you a good tuning without checksum error
Those 2 items you should consider, sometimes saving money is playing with fire.
The difference is if the tuner brick your ECU he should repair it and if something happens, he should solve your problem.
If you do it you can succeed or not and if not you can stop your car running for weeks.

2. I am using Kess Clone with the red board and never have a problem...depend on how quality will be your clone.

I think Green is not Net-Safe and Red is Net-Safe.
But I never use the internet when I do something with the clone tool, better be offline.

I will share a link to buy a Red tool:

3.

Is Kess v2 clone reliable OBD read/write Edc16U31 Audi B7?

Car model and year: 
Audi B7 1.9 PD TDI 116 Hp EDC16U31 (2005)
Tested Edc16C34 PSa via OBD without any problem.

Purpose: OBD read and Write ECU data

Using: Kess v2 clone

Question: Is it reliable?
Suggestion: Did BDM Backup, test via K-Line / OBD.
So you can back up if the problem is there.

Review 1. EDC16 should be no problem for kess.

Review 2.  No problem with Kess v2 EU -> read/write
Yesterday tried with one of my friend's B6 and read write through OBD no problem.
I use an external battery as a backup for the car's voltage it holds 12,35 - 12,4 volts stable.
After writing waiting about 3 minutes until the start.
Strange this ECU could be set how much success read/write you enable.
First BDM after OBD easy job I think but needs to be careful always

Review 3. today I use Kess V2 read one of my old U31 (it is T5 2.5tdi but unimportant) Kess and Ktag work.

Thanks.

How to read write golf 7 edc17 eeprom(maps) using Ktag and Kess?

Have Golf 7 edc17 to read and write the mod file, how to do with Ktag and Kess?

With Ktag: 
If you want to write your mod file by ktag you must open ecu and connect it on table.

With Kess:
if you want to write your mod file by kess obd, you must have vr file for your ecu, mod it and write by obd with kess.
Even you just read one of memories where the maps are and somebody modified that you can also write with kess.
Just pick your MOD file, then, open this on Kess (Maps place) and choose wirte.
If anything is wrong, the Ksuite will say to you before write (for exemple: wrong checksum).

If you need VR protocol, google search or contact at @ Dolcevita (cartechnology.co.uk).

Thanks.

Where is good place to have MPPS 13, fgtech and kess?
Personally, avoid ebay and aliexpress, goes through a sales site.Ebay and Aliexpress are shops, where all the sellers sell their product, so more seller, more different price, more choice, and so more shit .....

My main supplier is obd2shop.co.uk, to me they are the most trustworthy supplier.

Goods usually dispatch out within 24 hours with tracking number.

Have a very good personal relationship with them.
