It’s a passive wiring adapter that plugs into the SGW connectors and routes signals to a standard 16‑pin OBD2 interface or Bluetooth diagnostic dongle, enabling advanced diagnostics and service functions that are otherwise restricted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Autel 12+8 cable let my scanner work on SGW‑protected vehicles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable connects directly to the SGW module’s two factory connectors (12‑pin and 8‑pin) and reroutes the vehicle’s bus to a conventional 16‑pin OBD2 port. This bypass removes the SGW’s protocol gate so your scanner can exchange diagnostic messages with ECUs the gateway might otherwise block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlugs into the SGW’s 12‑pin and 8‑pin connectors for a direct connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTerminates in a standard 16‑pin OBD2 socket compatible with scanners and Bluetooth dongles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePassive wiring — no programming or power changes required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich cars and diagnostic tools are compatible with this adapter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned specifically for FCA vehicles with the Security Gateway introduced around 2018, the adapter supports Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Fiat and Alfa Romeo models that use the 12+8 SGW configuration. It is agnostic to the scanner brand — any OBD2‑capable tool that speaks the vehicle’s bus protocols can be used once the adapter is installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with 2018 and later FCA vehicles that have the 12+8 SGW connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with virtually all OBD2 scanners and Bluetooth dongles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAllows full system diagnostics, service functions, and code reading\/clearing where supported by the scanner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the steps to install the 12+8 SGW bypass cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is simple and reversible when performed carefully. You locate the SGW module, unplug its factory 12‑pin and 8‑pin connectors, connect those two connectors to the adapter’s matching ports, then plug a scanner or Bluetooth interface into the adapter’s 16‑pin OBD2 socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFind and unplug the SGW’s 12‑pin and 8‑pin connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnect each SGW connector to the matching 12+8 ports on the Autel adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAttach your 16‑pin OBD2 cable or Bluetooth dongle to the adapter and power on your scanner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat support and warranty does Autel provide for this adapter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAutel backs the 12+8 OBD2 adapter with a one‑year warranty and a 30‑day return window.

Technicians, independent mechanics, and DIY vehicle owners who service FCA vehicles with SGW restrictions will find this Autel adapter useful when their scanner cannot access control modules through the vehicle’s secured gateway. It’s intended for diagnostic use by people comfortable locating and temporarily disconnecting the SGW connectors; it’s not a permanent modification and should be used following manufacturer and safety guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this adapter permanently change my vehicle wiring?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. The adapter plugs into the SGW connectors and is reversible; it does not require soldering or permanent wiring changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can any OBD2 scanner use this Autel 12+8 cable?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
