How to Diagnose and Upgrade the ECU on Re-imported Vehicles

1. After launching KDS 2.0, check the VCI connection status (Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth, or wired), and then select [Vehicle Selection].

2. Select the Region menu in the upper-left corner, and then select the destination country to which the vehicle was exported for diagnosis or upgrade. 

Example: 
   A) If a vehicle was manufactured in Korea and sold to a customer in the USA,
      select USA for diagnosis or upgrade.
   B) If a vehicle was manufactured in the USA and sold to a customer in the USA,
      select USA for diagnosis or upgrade.

3. Select the Vehicle Model, then select the model year and Engine Type, and manually enter the VIN. (If AUTO VIN is available, you can use it to enter the Vehicle Model, model year, and Engine Type.)

4. A diagnostic number (VDN) will be generated. Confirm that the vehicle information (Vehicle Model, model year, and Engine Type) is correct, and then proceed to the ECU Upgrade menu. 

5. Select Manual Mode to perform the ECU upgrade.
