KWP2000 Plus Legacy ECU Reader and Writer

The KWP2000 Plus is a proven ECU read/write interface for supported older European vehicles and ECU families. It is particularly useful for many Bosch EDC15 and ME7 applications, including selected VAG 1.9 TDI, Peugeot/Citroën HDi, Fiat/Alfa/Lancia JTD, BMW diesel and Mercedes CDI vehicles.

Important compatibility information: This is a legacy tool and does not support every vehicle or ECU. Compatibility is determined by the exact ECU type, not simply the vehicle make and model. Check the list before ordering or contact Diagnostic Central with the VIN and ECU details.
