Is KESS 5.028 available?
Hello,

Please forgive my ignorance here. I have a red PCB (EU clone, I think) with KESS v2 5.017. I'm trying to work on a Chevy Tahoe which uses Prt 584 | GM / Opel / Chevrolet Delco E38. I've read support for this is in KESS v2 5.028 FW. So I think I need that, first of all.

I've read articles over a year old now about 5.028 "coming soon", but still, no one seems to sell a clone of it yet? Is it still not released? Anyone know the status of it? Is there any upgrade procedure to newer firmware by changing the SD card?

If it's not widely available, what are my options? Buy a genuine version, or send my unit out for an upgrade? 

Thank you for your help!

Honest look in sales section bcz it's there for a long time that old junk. These clones kess and ktag are dead tools. My advice think at originals anything other is not worth it.

If you think i helped you please do take 1 second and press THANKS button thumbsup

Clones are fine for working on you own / friends cars, I would not risk commercially.

Thanks. Understood. I'm just trying to figure out what are my options besides buying one from the sales area or 16pin.ru. There doesn't seem to be anyone else with this FW available.

Dead? because they don't support virtual files?
I'm thinking of buying kess 5.017 and ktag 7.020 china clone and do rework on them.
Can anybody explain what those tools can do with cars around 2000-2016?
I read a lot about them but not everybody mention if is clone or genuine, so not sure about clone capability.
I just need this for my self to play with my cars not for bussiness at all. Why china don't sell them with newer firmware version? Can anybody share experience about them?

don't bother do rework it is bulshit they work the same way. all clones are the same it is marketing trick for red purple pcb i get the cheapest clones from ali just for testing and they work.

in fact the last working and stable version that i test is 2.53 all "up" is just "skin" if you just start, get them. It support many ecus. You better keep working with ktag, the chance to kill ecu is less. They don't support "exotic" ecus but will serve you good. Many years ago i was making reworks but did not find any difference on the work of the units...

Could you mention few examples of exotic ecus it cannot do?
I will use it on few cars around 2008.
Do you think edc17cp45 would work on ktag clone?
That ecu would like to do once get more experience
