24.11.2025 — Upgrade 2.65

The protocols you were waiting for are now finally active on KESS3.

Ford’s evolution continues through increasingly efficient powertrains, new electronic management systems, and Bosch platforms designed to enhance performance and safety. With this update, KESS3 takes a decisive step forward, enabling OBD access to the latest-generation MD1 and MG1 ECUs—offering workshops a direct gateway into the contemporary Ford world.

Thanks to the new protocols, you can work on petrol, diesel and mild-hybrid engines with a more linear and faster workflow: connect, read and write through the diagnostic port, maintaining operational continuity even on the most complex configurations.

EcoBlue, EcoBoost and Super Duty series: the entire new Ford generation can finally be managed smoothly and reliably. A release that opens new work opportunities and fully integrates these platforms into your daily workshop routine.
