The Importance of GODIAG CAS4 CAS4+ Test Platform

We can program key for BMW CAS4 system in 2 methods: one is to preprocess the CAS by OBD and then to program without disassembly, and the other is to disassemble the CAS and use theXhorse VVDI Progprogrammer to read the data and then to generate the key via dump file. What is the role ofGODIAG CAS4 CAS4+ Test Platform?

 

 

First of all, if you don’t want to weld CAS and via OBD for preprocessing, please ensure the vehicle has stable power supply voltage. For vehicles with poor battery performance or the older vehicles, they must be connected to the programmable power supply. If they remove the CAS module and connect it to the CAS4 test platform, then there is no in high demand for the power supply, because the programming is only performed on CAS4, and other computers and electrical appliances on the vehicle will not be consumed too much, and the operation is relatively safe.

 

 

Image 2: connected with GODIAG CAS4 CAS4+ Test Platform.

 

 

 

In addition, the CAS4 test platform can detect the working status of the key. If there is a problem with the vehicle, and it cannot be judged whether it is the cable problem on the car or the CAS4 problem. CAS4 module can be connected with the test platform. If the CAS4 works normally on bench but cannot work in the car, it can be judged that CAS4 is no problem, otherwise if CAS4 can’t work on bench, you can directly repair CAS4.

 

Godiag CAS4+ test platform can directly check the working status of CAS4, whether it is programming keys or programming the mileage, the job can be done on bench without the vehicle. There is no need to repeat the operation of plugging and unplugging the computer in the car. It is very convenient for those who will assist others in repairing and programming, or those who do their job.

Hope it helps!

Autel Chrysler 12+8 Cable vs. Star Connector

Question before entering:

 

Suggestion:

Beginning in 2018, FCA began manufacturing vehicles with a Security Gateway Module (SGM) that blocked direct communication to and through the OBD2 port to the vehicle, effectively limiting communications to basic diagnostics. It also effectively isolated the CAN bus from being directly penetrable by aftermarket diagnostics and programming tools.

Fortunately, people much smarter and have figured out the CAN (Controller Area Network) lines of the vehicle can be intercepted after a point where communication is typically blocked by the SGM. Alternatively, the SGM can be bypassed entirely. The benefit of the CAN method is that you often have multiple access points because of the structure of the CAN bus architecture.

Common bypass methods are Autel 12+8 bypass cable, Star connector, AD cable and AutoAuth subscription.

 

 

Autel 12+8 Cable:

This adapter will be required when accessing a Fiat Chrysler Dodge and Jeep vehicle that uses a Secure Gateway Module.

 

 

 

 

 

Autel 12+8 adapter installation

Locate the security gateway module which is usually installed below the dashboard/some behind the radio
Remove the connector of the security gateway module
Connect 12+8 diagnostic connector
connect the adapter with Bluetooth VCI and pair tablet wirelessly

Autel 12+8 adapter ability/function, compatibility, supported FCA model list can be found here

Chrysler SGM Bypass using Autel FCA 12+8 Cable

 

Pros:

Good quality cable

larger Autel tool compatibility, no limited to Maxisys series, can be used withMK808MK908Petc

it works once find the SGM module

it works with every machine (other machines that can access FCA with SGM).

 

 

Cons:

outdated

usable on a few models

 

 

Review and success rate:

1. found the sgw module it was further up under the dash, had to remove the lower cover. The cable worked like a charm once I found the module.

2. i use mine regularly, most impressive was i needed it to scan a Maserati suv.

3. Just used my MS906TS on a 2018 Ram today. Worked flawlessly. I won’t have to use my Micropod II for quick stuff anymore. And won’t have to pay Tech Authority every time.

4. 12+ 8 is the best cable for a few random reasons. I use it quite often when I can’t get signal forWitech.

5. diagnostic scan on a 2018 Dodge Durango. Autel MS906TS with the Chrysler 12+8 adapter.

6. 2019 dodge challenger all keys lost…..Job Done by im608 and 12 +8 cable.

 

There is a newer service called Auto Auth. With the newest update on your Autel android-based tool (i,eAutel MaxiSYS 908P/MS906,Autel MaxiIM IM608etc) you now have access to the security gateway module on 2018 and newer Fiat Chrysler vehicles in North America, so that the tool can clear codes, bi-directional function, active tests, actuations and relearns. Autel has made this process very simple to access with three simple steps: authorize, confirm and access.

 

 

 

Pros:

is very quick if you have internet access

don’t need bypass cable

 

Cons:

require registration

paid for the AutoAuthority subscription

limited to Autel US model (MaxiSys, MaxiIM), don’t work on MK or MX models. For example: on MK908P auto auth doesnt show up. Autoauth still allows to enter device serial and register the tool, however, nothing comes up when connecting to the car and ask install the Chrysler 12+8 connector.

The MX808 and TS608 software is not done yet for AutoAuth

 

 

 

Check guide here:

Autel Scan Tools Bypass SGW FCA Security Gateway Access via AutoAuth

 

 

 

Star connector

 

 

Star connector is the best cable for FCA models with SGM.

 

 

Pros:

don’t need to find the SGM (it can take hours to get to the SGM on some models.)

it’s $50 a year for up to 5 techs to get the Security Gateway Access better to have then the cable

usually in front kick panel, and all you do is take the 2 wire back probes and back probe the star connector.

it works with every machine (other machines that can access FCA with SGM).

 

 

Cons:

No

 

 

 

 

AD Cable:

 

Advanced Diagnostics – Chrysler / Dodge / Jeep Bypass Cable ADC2011 for SMART Pro Programmer

 

When programming 2018 and up Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep vehicles, the connection to the vehicle is made using theADC2011cable, which connects to the STAR (CAN-C connector) located in various locations in the vehicle depending on the vehicle model.

This cable is required for programming withAD Smart Pro – Programming Software ADS-2272 software, & ADS-2291
