TheGenius tool and accessories kit KTHEGENIUS_00

The TheGenius KTHEGENIUS_00 kit includes the tool and accessories for working on vehicle electronic control units (ECUs). It is a component of the complete TheGenius package and cannot be purchased separately.

What it does

TheGenius lets you read data from an ECU, meaning extract it, and write data, meaning load it into the ECU. Where supported, it also allows cloning: copying the data to another ECU.

These operations can be carried out through the vehicle's diagnostic socket, by connecting to the ECU's connectors without opening it, or by opening the ECU and connecting to its internal circuit board. The latter two methods are known respectively as bench mode and open-ECU programming.

What's included

• TheGenius tool and hard plastic carrying case.
• Mains power supply with plugs and a cable to connect the tool to a computer via a USB port.
• Adapters for connecting to the diagnostic socket and for bench work.
• Universal cable for connecting to individual contacts, with small, medium and large terminals, clips and breakout leads.
• Battery power cable.
• Three ribbon cables and their adapter.
• Two connectors for testing the tool's ports.

How it differs from the complete package

This kit includes the physical equipment, but does not include activation of the programming functions. To purchase the tool, choose the complete TheGenius package: its variants include the kit and combined activation for programming through the diagnostic socket, in bench mode and with the ECU open, according to the vehicle category you choose. Activation does not need to be purchased separately.
