TheGenius Tool and Accessory Kit KTHEGENIUS_00

The TheGenius KTHEGENIUS_00 kit includes the tool and accessories for working on vehicle electronic control units (ECUs). It is part of the complete TheGenius package and is not sold separately.

What it does

TheGenius lets you read data from an ECU, meaning retrieve 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 performed through the vehicle's diagnostic port, by connecting to the ECU's connectors without opening it, or by opening the ECU and connecting to its internal circuit board. The last two methods are referred to as working on the bench and with the ECU open, respectively.

What's included

• TheGenius tool and a hard plastic carrying case.
• AC power supply with plugs and a cable for connecting the tool to a computer through a USB port.
• Adapters for connecting to the diagnostic port and for bench work.
• Universal cable for connecting to individual pins, with small, medium and large terminals, clamps and branch 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: each option includes the kit and combined activation for working through the diagnostic port, on the bench and with the ECU open, according to the vehicle category you select. Activation does not need to be purchased separately.
