- To this day, technicians industry-wide have apprehensions about Secured Gateway (or SGW). Fears like:
“SGW causes limited scan tool functionality” and, “We need factory-level tooling” are rumors frequently shared.
With today’s connected vehicles, SGW was implemented (On 2018+ FCA vehicles and some 2020+ Nissans) to protect vehicles against infiltration from the outside world.
In 2018, two clever men were able to develop software to wirelessly sabotage (or “hack”) successfully into a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. They did so without any added devices to the vehicle. The hack was carried about by infiltrating the vehicle’s connected infotainment system.
This infiltration allowed the hackers to take over the vehicle’s audio, windshield wipers, climate control, steering, powertrain, and braking systems. This left the door open for hundreds of thousands of vehicles with the same connected infotainment system.
In 2018 FCA developed a device known as the Secured Gateway to prevent infiltration from the outside world. Just as it is described, it acts as a gate that opens and closes. Allowing information to be accessed or restricted, via the DLC or Infotainment system. Through technician and scan tool registration, access was granted for that individual using that scan tool (and tethered PC). This was at the OE/Dealership level. For the aftermarket to have that same level of access a 12+8 cable was need to bypass the SGW, requiring removal of the Infotainment head unit for access. This was very time consuming.
Without authentication, the scan tool is left with limited functionality like scanning for powertrain DTCs and monitoring live powertrain data. No bi-directional control, special tests, or even a DTC clear can be carried out.
A third party known as AutoAuth mimicked FCA’s model to provide that same level of security for the independent aftermarket shops/technicians (or IAMs). The same authentication process can now be carried out for the IAMs.
In this video, the Autel MS-Ultra is featured establishing connectivity to 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid and a connection to the AutoAuth server via a WiFi connection. This allows the MS-Ultra to authenticate just as the dealer technicians do. More importantly for independent technicians, there is no longer a need to remove/bypass components for connectivity. With just few key strokes, authentication is carried out in just several seconds and full functionality of the MS-Ultra is available.

2 hackers and one badly designed vehicle have screwed the industry. Thanks. I understand others will follow, but there has been no issue since. That doesn't warrant the whole industry to change. I could be wrong in this statement.
I understand your frustration but unfortunately this is just something we can decide to comply with or fight.
As you can see, it’s not very difficult to deal with.
It's not the $50 a year it really isn't it's the problem of being in an area where you have accessibility to the internet if I'm wrong please tell me but I think you need internet in order to make this operation work⁉️
Thank you, This is true
yep i tried it but could not get mine to work. could not get help from auto auth on why my tool would not work, so i found out u have to keep an internet connection the whole time.
Good info! Thank you Brandon! Hope you have a great 4th of July!
Thank you, please do the same, Spiro!
You stated that the $50 a year allows five technicians to use the registered tool but when I signed up recently, it was five tools that could be registered for the $50. I signed up under the independent technician. I have three scan tools registered, and it accepted all three for the $50.
Well, that is great news and something we were not aware of.
I’m. It sure if it was a misinterpretation on our behalf or the rules have changed.
Either way, sounds like great news to me 😊
@@brandonsteckler3417 Why change that? Not every tech will own (or be able to afford) the exact scan tool. Being tied up for one scanner for multiple jobs wouldn't be proficient nor profitable.
@@danielwrisner624, not sure I understand your question. The scan tool operates the same as if SGW didn’t exist.
@@brandonsteckler3417 The program functions on 5 different scan tools under one business profile. I wouldn't change that part is all that I'm saying.
Understood, thank you
Much appreciated Brandon ! Good practical ideas .
Thank you for watching !
Great info! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Does not work with my thinkcar scan tool and the tool is registered
I’m not sure of tools that do not yet comply with SGW/AutoAuth.
Does Autuauth have a listing of the approved tools that doesn't require you to buy an account? Asking for the folks who might want to buy a new scan tool and don't know if it will be supported or not even if the tool seller says it is.
Good morning,
Tools must be registered to electronically bypass SGW. The registration is responsible for the fee.
There are no tools available (that I am aware of) that will electronically bypass SGW
@@brandonsteckler3417 Sorry, I meant a list where you don't have to set up an account with them to then discover if your scan tool is eligible IE they list the snap-on models that can be approved or the TopDon or Launch or Autel models that can be registered. From what I can tell the way it currently works is that you set up your account, then you pay and then you can select the tool you have and see if it can even be used with auto-auth to access the vehicle. With all the tools out there these days it would be nice to know if the one you were looking at can really be authorized or not.
Lets make vehicle's so complicated that they're all ways in the shop. Thats progress!
I understand your frustration. My goal was to demonstrate that it is not difficult to work with.
@@brandonsteckler3417 right.ok.
Did Brandon take Pete’s spot
Yes, Pete is no longer with the company
Man you know that it always have someone out there who mess it up for everyone. Thanks B. Appreciate the information.
No worries…it’s my pleasure
This voids rights to repair act laws.
No it doesn’t. Just have to register to get into the vehicle
At consumer costs.
It gets the industry closer to needing a licensed technician to work on cars also. Which ever side of that fence you may be on.
@justinhayward5027 this does break the law of right to repair. An you have no access unless you have an active account with the tool company... broken law
I won’t argue that point. I’m just here to demonstrate that it is not difficult to deal with.
Ya did not dispels anything.. won't let you unless you have active updates... so keep spending your 2000. Plus the 50. Per year. This is all bull money grab
Sorry if I want clear on what I wa Ma attempting to display.
I didn’t ask for a 3rd party to govern my access. I also didn’t ask for anyone to “hack” a vehicle and boast of it publicly.
But, I do feel a responsibility to help the men and women of our industry get educated on what they will be facing and prepare for how to deal with it. Thank you for watching and I’m sorry for your disappointment.
