Autel 12+8 Cable for FCA SGW Vehicles — 12/8 Pin to OBD2 Adapter (80 cm)

Overview

Meet the Autel 12+8 cable, a purpose-built link between FCA SGW–equipped vehicles and your diagnostic toolkit. It bridges a combined 12+8 pin connector to a standard OBD2 interface, empowering compatible scanners to access deeper vehicle systems with ease.

Designed for FCA SGW bypass

This cable is engineered to work with FCA Secure Gateway (SGW) modules in 2018 and newer models, enabling broader diagnostics, bidirectional control, and routine services through your OBD2 scanner. While not guaranteeing results in every scenario, it offers a practical option to work with SGW-enabled vehicles and may reduce ongoing subscription costs depending on your setup.

Why length and flexibility matter

With a generous 2.6 ft (80 cm) length, the cable provides ample working distance in cramped engine bays or crowded dash areas. The extra reach helps you position your diagnostic tool without strain, which can improve workflow and reduce connector stress during use.

Durable, reliable construction

The cable uses a sturdy PVC jacket designed to resist wear and chatter in automotive environments. It’s engineered for stable data transmission, reduced interference, and long-lasting performance under typical shop conditions.

Plug-and-play simplicity

Connecting is straightforward: plug the 12-pin and 8-pin adapters into their respective ports on the vehicle, attach the 16-pin OBD2 end to your scanner or VCI, and secure the connection. Once seated, you can access functions like reading/clearing codes and executing supported services with compatible tools.

Compatibility and practical use

The 12+8 to OBD2 interface is designed to work with standard OBD2 scanners that support FCA vehicles. This makes it a versatile option for independent shops, enthusiasts, and technicians who service multiple FCA brands—including Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Fiat, and Alfa targets with SGW modules.

What you gain

• Extended reach for flexible setup and easier tool placement.
• Durable PVC construction for reliable, long-term use.
• Easy plug-and-play connections with minimal setup steps.
• Standard 12+8 pin to OBD2 interface to work with common scanners.
• SGW-focused design to enable diagnostics and services on eligible FCA vehicles.

Support and guidance: If you need assistance, Autel’s support team is available to help you optimize setup and usage. This cable is presented as a robust option for mixed FCA diagnostics, not a guaranteed fix for every scenario.

Real-world scenarios

In a busy shop or a home garage, technicians may appreciate the combination of a longer reach, straightforward connections, and broad compatibility. The cable is well-suited for tasks such as reading and clearing codes, performing active tests with compatible tools, conducting routine services, and attempting module coding where your scanner supports it.
