Tool releases for off-highway – Byte Performance weekly digest

Tool releases for off-highway: week 45 2026

Four releases matter for farm, forestry and truck workshops this week – one of them, Alientech’s MD1CS089 unlock from 23 October, held over from an earlier week. Left out on purpose: passenger-car and powersports releases from all three makers.

Bosch EDC17CV41 (CNH) – Autotuner, OBD (beta)

The FPT/Iveco version, read and written over the diagnostic port without removing the ECU: read in about 2¼ minutes, write in under 2, New Holland OBD cable ATOBD200. Autotuner lists Case IH (Farmall to Steiger, Axial-Flow, Patriot) and New Holland (T6 to T9, CR, CX, FR), Claas Arion and Axion, Steyr, Landini and McCormick, Merlo and Dieci telehandlers, Tigercat and Logset forestry machines, Iveco Stralis, Trakker and Eurocargo, and Doosan excavators and wheel loaders.
