Hi Guys,
First up I am totally new to this whole ecu cloning and flashing, so I hope you guys will bear with my sometime silly questions. I have done some reading (here and on the web) on this and am trying to figure out where to start. If anyone here will be so kind by helping me out with some advice on the following question will be great and a good start in the right direction. My work is mostly on trucks (MB,volvos etc) and what I think I want to start with is just cloning of ecus and basic flashing, tuning and modding (and maybe cars) I will get into when I am a bit more knowledgeable on the subject. With that in mind if someone can help on the following will be good:
1) Easiest hardware/software to get started on for a newbie? Alientech hardware seems to be the choice anyone has any other opinions on this?
2) For Alientech hardware, which would be better KESS or Ktag? I am leaning towards KESS since there work can be done via OBD and less mucking about with the internals of the ecu, however from what I gather Ktag gives a wider range of options in terms of what can be done.
3) Any other advice for a newbie would be much appreciated
Hope you guys will be able to point me in the right direction.
