Yes. Special Functions are a function package within Alientech Suite or the Powergate App and expand the range of operations available on compatible vehicles.

Yes. If the function is supported, it is shown directly in the vehicle sheet together with the other available operations.

Yes. In the Vehicle List you can find all supported operations: reading, writing, cloning and available functions. This way, you know exactly what you can do before working on the vehicle.

Yes. If a vehicle or control unit is not listed, you can send a request directly to the technical team. Reports are analyzed to expand coverage with new protocols.

Yes. You simply need to import the original file read from the ECU.

DataLogger is available for vehicles supported. The parameters that can be monitored depend on the ECU and the protocol used.

Inside the Suite, you can search by make, model, engine or control unit. In just a few steps, you can check compatibility and the available connection modes.

There is no numerical limit. You can work on any file read from an ECU.

There is no numerical limit. You can work on all vehicles included in the active protocols.

No. It is designed for cars and motorcycles, depending on vehicle compatibility.

The DTC function is available for cars and motorcycles supported by KESS3. Available operations may vary depending on the ECU, vehicle and protocol used.

With the main operating systems: iOS and Android (including devices with interfaces widely available on the market).

Cars, LCVs, motorcycles, ATVs, trucks, tractors and boats, depending on the activations selected.

Any car, motorcycle, LCV, truck, tractor or marine vehicle. ECM Titanium is compatible with any original file read from an electronic control unit, even if that ECU is not supported by tools in the Alientech ecosystem. If the Driver is not present in the database, you can request it from technical support: the team creates the dedicated Driver associated with your file, allowing you to work without operational limitations.

The same model can be equipped with different control units depending on year, engine, production updates or market. This is why it is important to correctly identify the ECU before starting any operation.

Yes. By checking the vehicles you work on, you can understand which protocols and connection modes you need and configure the tool in a targeted way, avoiding unnecessary activations.

Up to 4 configurations per vehicle, useful for creating packages (e.g. Original + 1/2 performance setups + eco setup).

OBD cable, Bench/Boot cable (including rainbow flat cables), stable power supply and USB cable: everything you need to start.

Master → You read, modify and write files independently. You have full control and higher margins. You can create your own Slave network.
Slave → You read the file and send it to a reference Master, who returns the modified file ready for writing. Ideal for starting without handling map modification.

Manager (Master): you prepare the files and manage customers, devices and configurations.
Resale (Slave): you sell already configured Powergate devices (ready-to-use packages) without creating the files.

Start by choosing the configuration best suited to your workshop (Master or Slave) and activating the protocols for the vehicles you want to work on.

If you want to start gradually, the Slave version is the simplest solution.
If you want to build autonomy and maximize profits, Master is the strategic choice.
