What Are OEM Security Gateways, Why Do They Exist, and How to Navigate Them
Even experienced technicians face challenges when dealing with Security Gateways. Some technicians mistakenly blame their scan tool for blocked, missing, or “removed” functions—when it’s actually the vehicle manufacturer restricting access through OEM Security Gateway Modules (SGWs).
In this webinar, we’ll explain what SGWs are, why they exist, and how Autel breaks through these digital barriers. Learn how integration with AutoAuth, support for VW/Audi SFD, and real-time updates restore access to critical functions like code clearing, ADAS calibrations, bi-directional controls, and programming.
Designed for shop owners, working techs, and service managers, this webinar separates fact from fiction and shows how Autel keeps you connected and in control in today’s increasingly locked-down repair environment.
