The Autel Solution to SGW Secure Gateway Access FCA Chrysler Jeep Dodge Fiat Vehicles
How To Use the Autel Solution for SGW Secure Gateway Access FCA Chrysler Jeep Dodge Fiat Vehicles
If you sign up with AutoAuth you will not need Autel's 12+8 adapter.
The 12+8 Adapter is Autel's bypass for Chrysler's Security Gateway Module (SGM) which limits an aftermarket scan tool to only reading DTCs and viewing data.
Most 2018 and newer FCA vehicles include a Security Gateway Module.
If you don't use AutoAuth you can expect to see this message when scanning a Chrysler with the Security Gateway Module:
DEVICE UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE CONTROL UNIT
Placement of the SGM varies, but it is often located in the side kick panel, passenger side near the glove box, or behind the radio.
The 12+8 Adapter connects to the Autel MaxiSys VCI.
