OBDStar FCA Cable 12+8 Universal Adapter For X300 DP / X300 DP Plus

All FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) vehicles manufactured after 2018 are outfitted with an SGW (Security Gateway) module, serving as a protective measure against potential attacks on the vehicle network via the CAN bus. Directly connecting to the OBD II-16 connector alone may not establish communication with these vehicles. To address this issue, you can utilize the FCA 12 + 8 cable, connecting to both the 12PIN and 8PIN connections on the vehicle. This cable facilitates normal communication with the car, overcoming the limitations posed by the SGW module.

Develop Background

All 2018- FCA (FIAT/CHRYSLER/ALFA ROMEO) vehicles are equipped with SGW security gateway module, which can prevent access to the vehicle from the OBD2 port through non-original diagnostics. The purpose of this module is to prevent attacks on the vehicle network via the CAN bus.

How to use FCA 12+8 Cable

Find and unplug the 12PIN and 8PIN connectors of the SGW module, and then connect the FCA 12+8 directly to the 12PIN and 8PIN (connecting to the two connectors of the SGW) connector on the car. At this time, normal communication with the car can be realized.
