What is a KON file?

KON files mostly belong to Mitsubishi MUT-III. This file may serve two distinct purposes.
Mitsubishi Configuration File: KON files in this use are text files encoded in UTF-8. They store vehicle data for Mitsubishi systems such as the MUT-III. This is the ETACS configuration data that holds vehicle settings. Although you can open them in any text editor, they are meant to be used by Mitsubishi diagnostic and configuration tools.
Konfabulator Widget File: Other KON files use the XML format. They define widget settings for the Konfabulator platform. These files describe widget behavior and appearance for desktop utilities.
Usage details:
  • Vehicle configuration - Contains key settings for Mitsubishi automotive systems.
  • Widget configuration - Holds structured XML data for desktop widget functionality.
    • FilExt.com tip: To view or edit these files correctly, use the correct specialized software. Always preserve the file encoding to avoid data loss.

    How do you open KON files?

    You need a suitable software like Mitsubishi MUT-III to open a KON file.
