SGW Bypass loom extension leads (12pin and 8pin) for FCA cars. 

At the time of writing, the SGW extension leads are compatible with following makes/models (only the main ones are listed):

Alfa Romeo: Giulia, Stelvio (including face-lift MY2020)

Single SGW harness extension pair leads allow a bit easier re-connecting between SGW and SGW bypass, but mainly minimizes risk of accidental damage or wearing off the original car loom/connectors.

However the recommended setup chosen by most of customers is to use two sets/pairs of the product in series connection, user no longer needs to disconnect from SGW as connecting SGW bypass is done to mid-point between extension looms, so it is much easier and is very low-risk job. 

In Alfa Romeo Giulia using two sets/pairs allows easy connections of SGW bypass though under-steering wheel column opening (see attached photos), and in  Alfa Romeo Stelvio such allows easy enough SGW bypass installation after only removing glasses compartment (~5 minutes job vs. ~1h).

Please review block diagram pictures where we visualize each setup, and make sure you order single with full awareness - we had a few cases already that customers didn't fully noticed the difference and so they were later ordering second sets and so wasting money on second shipment.

Ordering 2 pair is the best solution.

Introduction

Since 2017, FCA has been continuously adding Security Gateway module (SGW) into cars they manufacture. The SGW blocks and separates CAN buses of a car. Its main purpose is to increase security against hacker access to car’s CAN modules through wireless interfaces available in the car. Unfortunately for users, it does not allow full use of OBD diagnostics without digital keys that are only available on FCA servers, and as result active OBD diagnostics (DTC error erase, tests, change of proxi configuration, dyno mode activation) is not possible, only read mode is available. Because of that servicing in independent garages is practically not available (e.g. no possibility to clear oil change inspection), as 3rd party OBD diagnostic tools do not support downloading of the SGW unlock keys, and it is likely that even if they gain such feature in the future, the key will not be available for free. According to information received from FCA support, FCA does not plan any option of deactivation of the SGW, even after warranty is expired, which practically forces car owners to service their cars in authorised service centres (or in garages that buy the expensive Witech2 diagnostic tool and the subscriptions).

Use

SGB0001 device is used for bypassing the SGW module in compatible FCA cars (these with the SGW existing as a separate unit). It unlocks the option of full diagnostics carried out with the use of 3rd party OBD tools in independent garages. At the time of writing this manual, the bypass device supports following makes/models (only the main ones are listed):

 Alfa Romeo: Giulia, Stelvio  (Full support)

 Jeep: Renegade, Compass, Wrangler, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee  (no support)

 Fiat: 500L, 500X, Doblo  (no support)

 Dodge: Challenger, Charger  (no support)

 RAM: 1500 >  (no support)

Other notes

Components selected for SGW0001 bypass device come from industry leading suppliers/manufacturers.

Each bypass device passes 800 electrical tests on automated tester, as well as is visually screened and mechanically checked for robustness, what guarantees top quality of the final product.

Although the car drives normally with the SGW bypass device plugged in instead of the SGW module, what has been tested without a single issue during a few months long test of daily car use, it is not recommended to do so. The module is meant for service work only, for the time of maintenance activities.

Warranty and other claims

We provide a 2-year warranty for the bypass device failures. We reserve the right to reject a warranty claim in case of damages caused by improper use such as use in harsh environmental conditions, water or other fluid swamp, contact with aggressive chemicals, damage made by user, attempts of opening the device case or any modifications done to the device.

Do not use the device if there is visible damage, or in any case if you suspect that the condition of the device is not satisfactory.

STUFF4CAR/ALFISSIMO  does not take responsibility for any car, property and other damage caused by: the use of the device in an incompatible car, diagnostic tools bugs, changes made into car configuration (e.g. proxi changes possible with SGW bypass).
