Background: Starting in 2018, FCA US has been equipped with a Security gateway firewall that is new to the car industry. The logic behind this Gateway is to secure the vehicle’s control systems against security threats and other issues as car ecosystems become more connected and advanced. To access this Gateway your scan tool will need to be authorized by Auto Auth. There are a few steps that you will need to complete in order to gain authorization to the FCA US Gateway.
