General introduction
Basic description
Product description:
The KTS 250 will close a gap in the product portfolio and replace the former KTS 200.
Bosch offers a wide range of diagnostic testers- based on Windows applications
KTS 250 from Bosch is a handheld diagnostic tool which provides technicians quick
individual access to the ECUs and a complete check of the car = system overview.
Additionally, It supports service activities such as Battery replacement, service reset,
brake pad release. Not only that, front camera calibration or radar sensor calibration is
also possible with KTS 250.
Automated VIN identification accelerates the entire procedure of car identification. This
offers workshop technicians to have in a short time the DTC status of the vehicles system
without any risk of selecting wrong types or parameters.
Once licensed-the touchscreen operated KTS 250 uses online functions and automated
downloads to update its software automatically.
Functionality of KTS hardware ready for future:
• Ethernet / DoIP as future diagnosis interface
included
• Parallel or simultaneous diagnostic: fast
communication to different ECUs at the same
time via different communication channels
• Vehicle specific adapters available for usage
with old vehicles

KTS 250: Diagnostic scan tool
The KTS 250 diagnostic scan tool from Bosch provides everything you need to diagnose cars and light
commercial vehicles. It is an excellent choice for any service reception or for small/large workshop that
needs a well performing diagnostic device. it is not only handy and lightweight but also powerful and
comprehensive.
Key benefits:
• Automatic VIN identification: As soon as you plug in the OBD cable the VIN is read and the matching
cars are shown
• Fully automatic vehicle identification: once a car is connected to the KTS250, it is stored in the memory
and gets automatically selected next time. That means less time spent in re-identifying most returning
vehicles in the workshop.
• A fast overview of systems and stored trouble codes
• Direct reference to key functions such as ECU identification, reading/deletion of error memory, actual
values, actuators, function tests, adjustments.
• The time saving service task menus: Select a service task and automatically enter functions such as
battery replacement or service interval reset.
• Wide and deep coverage of more than 150 vehicle brands.it also includes full Bosch VIN database to
minimize manual vehicle identifications.
• The top 10 most used brands in the workshop will also be listed on the top during brand selection.
With the KTS 250, Bosch provides an intelligent solution for tomorrow‘s requirements, today. Vehicles are
changing. Diagnostics is gradually becoming more complex. KTS 250 is equipped with the latest hardware
and is able to handle the next generation cars. The KTS 250's predecessor, KTS 200, was launched back in
2007, and even today, it can diagnose a brand new BMW 5 series from 2018. This next generation of
testers has been developed with the same long product life cycle in mind.
Features such as “Diagnostic over IP” (DoIP) – a diagnostic interface based on Ethernet and “Parallel
diagnostic” are two important key features worth noticing. Functions such as initialization or calibration may
not be accessible through the standard CAN protocol in some vehicles in the future. It may only be
accessed through DoIP - Ethernet via the 16 PIN OBD socket. Secondly, new vehicles are equipped with
more and more ECUs, and to ensure a fast readout, diagnosis, and presentation of actual values the
“Parallel diagnostics” or “Simultaneous diagnostic” capability ensures a much quicker communication to
multiple ECUs at the same time. It minimizes waiting time and data lag.
KTS 250 is a “plug and play” unit that requires very little effort to license and activate. The guided set-up and
quick start guide explain the most important features and routines during the initial set-up phase.
Additionally a help centre is available if further information is needed.
The built-in WiFi ensures that the unit is kept up to date via online updates that automatically take place as a
background process. This ensures no downtime during operation.

14Screen mirroring
How to present the KTS 250 on a big monitor
KTS 250 Screen-mirroring is done via the Anydesk application
AnyDesk is a small software tool that is pre-installed on KTS 250
The AnyDesk software also needs to be installed on a PC in order setup the screen
mirroring.
The software may be downloaded here: https://anydesk.de/plattformen/windows
(On a Bosch PC you will need temporary admin rights)
Internet connection: There are 2 ways of setting up the network between the two
devices:
• Use a local network where KTS250 and the PC are connected . The internet
connection is only needed to verify the Anydesk connection number, but the
communication between the devices is local and has therefore a very good
speed of the screen
• Both devices have internet connection but are not in the same local network.
The communication goes through the internet. Therefore the speed of the
internet will determine the speed of the screen.
Step 1:
Setup proxy if required by local IT
department.
E.g. for Bosch PCs:
Go to Settings in the Anydesk PC app and
make the following proxy settings
Proxy server: proxy.fe.de.bosch.com
Port: 8080
Use Proxy-Authentication = your Bosch NT-
user & password.
