Alientech KESS3 adds Bosch VD1CP110 support

Protocol update: 24 August 2026

Alientech has introduced Bosch VD1CP110 support in KESS3 Upgrade 3.46, expanding programming coverage for selected Ford and Volkswagen commercial vehicles.

Supported applications

The release lists applications from 2023 onwards, including:

• Ford Ranger 2.0 EcoBlue
• Ford Transit 2.0 EcoBlue
• Volkswagen Amarok 2.0 EcoBlue

What does the new protocol support?

The update provides OBD access to the Bosch VD1CP110 UDM, an aftertreatment control unit.

This is an aftertreatment control-unit protocol, not an engine ECU tuning protocol. It must not be confused with support for reading or writing the vehicle's engine ECU.

Bench, Boot, virtual-read and unlock capabilities were not specified in the release information available to us.

Vehicle compatibility

Compatibility must be confirmed against the individual vehicle and control unit before programming.

Contact TuningWorx with your vehicle details for a compatibility check.
