The AutoAuth service is a third-party authentication portal that allows independent technicians and automotive shops to “unlock” the Secure Gateway (SGW) module on modern vehicles, primarily those from FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), now part of Stellantis.
Starting with the 2018 model year, FCA introduced the SGW to protect vehicle electronics from unauthorized access or cyberattacks. This security measure blocks aftermarket scan tools from performing advanced functions—such as clearing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), bi-directional testing, or active actuations—unless the technician is authenticated through AutoAuth.
Key Features of AutoAuth:
Security Unlocking: It provides the “unlock codes” required for certified diagnostic tools to communicate with the vehicle’s protected systems.
Broad Compatibility: It works with major aftermarket tool brands like Autel, Launch, Topdon, Xtool, and AllData.
Regional Support: The service is currently primarily available for vehicles and shops in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Expanded Coverage: While initially for FCA (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat), it has expanded to support other brands like Nissan and Mercedes-Benz on certain scan tools.
Costs and Registration:
Technician Accounts: Individual technicians can create a basic account for free.
Shop/Service Center Fee: Shops typically must pay an annual fee of approximately $50 to register their business and link their diagnostic tools.
Standard Packages: A standard shop membership usually covers up to 6 users, with a small additional fee for each user beyond that.
You can register your shop or manage your diagnostic tools at the official AutoAuth Web Portal.
Do you need help registering a specific scan tool or checking if your vehicle model requires an AutoAuth login?
AutoAuth is an authentication service that allows aftermarket diagnostic tools to bypass Security Gateway (SGW) modules on modern vehicles. While originally focused on FCA (Stellantis), the platform has expanded to support other major manufacturers that use similar security measures.

The following brands are supported through AutoAuth, though specific functions (like full diagnostics vs. basic code clearing) may vary by tool manufacturer:
Stellantis (FCA): Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati (typically 2018+ models).
Nissan / Infiniti: Recently added support for modern vehicles equipped with SGW modules in North America.
Mercedes-Benz: Supported by specific tool brands like Autel for secured gateway access.
Volkswagen Group (VAG): Includes Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and Seat. These often require “Access Tokens” or specialized guided functions depending on the tool.
