When we program 2018+ FCA models by our Autel MaxIM IM508/IM608 Key Programmer, we have to bypass SGW module firstly. Which bypass cable to select, here we will show you 3 options:
- Autel FCA 12+8 Bypass Cable
- ADC-2011 Cable
- Star Connector and Backprobe
Part 1. Autel FCA 12+8 Cable
How to Connect?
1.Locate and unplug the 12Pin and 8PIN connectors of the SGW module.
2.Then connect the FCA 12+8 directly to the 12pin and 8pin (two connectors connected to the SGW) connector on the car.
What FCA models the cable supports?
2018+ Jeep Renegade
2018+ Jeep Compass
2018+ Jeep Cherokee
2018+ Jeep Wrangler
2018+ Jeep Grand Cherokee
2018+ Dodge Ram
2018+ Dodge Durango
2018+ Dodge Journey
2018+ Dodge Charger
2018+ Dodge Challenger
2018+ Chrysler Pacifica
2018+ Chrysler 300
Have to remove many components, for part of models have to remove the radio, some customers mind that. Experienced technician may spend around 15 minutes on removal and connection.
Part 2. ADC-2011 Cable
ADC2011 Cable works with things like Autel IM508 Programmer as well.
With adc 2011, connection time may be reduced to less than 5 minutes.
But it requires other cables to bypass SGW.
Part 3. Star Connector and Backprobe
Made a cable with star connector and 2 pin backprobe.
The connection is soldered and shrink wrapped. the tape is there just to make it easier to grab.
and for the back probes I used T-pins soldered onto a wire
How to Connect and Probe?
Check 3 places.
1)Under drivers dash (*generally)
2)Under dash on the passenger side
3)Under rear deck lid
Or check on apps like MyKeysPro.
This methods requires tech, but time could reduced less than 3 minutes.
Summary
1st method only needs one cable but it removes a lot of things and takes more times; 2nd and 3rd methods requires different cables to work together, and also soldering, self-made cable, but don’t have to remove much things and takes less time on bypass.
Alright, those are all 3 ways to bypass SGW and program FCA keys with Autel IM508/IM608 Programmer.
Hope this could help.
