TOPDON Phoenix Series Secure Gateway Tutorial 2025 

Secure Gateways have been introduced by automakers to help in the fight against cyber-attacks and other security vulnerabilities on modern internet-enabled vehicles. AutoAuth is the primary service that allows independent shops to link their aftermarket scan tools to vehicles with Secure Gateways. 

“AutoAuth is a service that gives technicians the ability to use their aftermarket diagnostic tools to perform secured functions on vehicles through the OBD port that would otherwise be locked by the Auto OEM,” AutoAuth states on its website. “AutoAuth works with independent tool vendors to ensure tools are AutoAuth certified. This allows independent operators to continue to service Security Gateway enabled vehicles.”
