Autel announced its tablets have been certified by the Auto Authentication Authority (AutoAuth) to access Mercedes-Benz vehicles’ Security Gateway (SGW). As a result, “Autel tablet users can now access more vehicle brands’ secure gateways than any aftermarket tool using the authentication service,” the company explained in a news release about the certification.
In addition, Autel negotiated with Volkswagen/Audi Group to add SGW access capability to its diagnostics and service tablets, and, last month, Autel added the functionality to its tablets. Users can purchase single VW/Audi VIN/24-hour sessions or unlimited VINs/full-year access plans.
“Increasingly, automakers are securing critical vehicle systems behind gateway modules. We have prioritized getting our tablets authorized to access these systems and enabling our technicians to service the vehicles they need to. Autel has consistently led the aftermarket in getting this functionality to our products and technicians,” said Maurice Miller,

Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to authorize Autel tablets to access SGW-protected systems via AutoAuth. Technicians can also access Nissan and Stellantis (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Maserati) vehicles with an SGW via an AutoAuth-registered Autel tablet, the company explained.
