As a result of this partnership and agreement, the ability to access, unlock the security module SGW / SFD and enable diagnostics of these vehicles using Autel diagnostic devices. Because more and more vehicle manufacturers have installed security modules (SGW/SFD) in their cars, which act like a computer "Firewall", in order to protect vehicle control modules from unlicensed diagnostic devices. Therefore, only official, manufacturer-approved diagnostic devices with Internet access are compatible with the security modules installed in cars, it becomes possible to unlock them and perform certain diagnostic functions.

VAG includes VW, Audi, SEAT, Cupra, Škoda, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Bugatti (Porsche is not included).

What is SGW / SFD function?

This function is used to bypass/unlock the security module (Security Gateway). This module protects the car's main modules from illegal, unauthorized access.

Why do cars need to connect to SGW / SFD?

How to use SGW / SFD codes?

1. With the help of diagnostics, scan the car automatically or select it manually.
2. If the car requires the unlocking of the security module, then you will immediately see an information table with a warning whether you want to unlock the security module.
3. After unlocking the security module (SGW/SFD), you activate all the possible functions that are provided in this car model.
