Adapter for 1996-2002 Mercedes-Benz vehicles with 38-pin port under the hood. Available only with the purchase of a YOUCANIC UCAN-II full-system scanner. This adapter allows you to access all control modules and systems on the models with the 38-pin port. Without this adapter, you may only be able to access the engine control unit if your Mercedes-Benz is between 1996 and 2002 and has the 38-pin port. 

This adapter is only available for customers who have purchased the YOUCANIC full-system scanner.

Pre-1996 models may or may not be supported. 

The YOUCANIC 12+8 Adapter is a must-have accessory for automotive professionals and DIYers who need full diagnostic capabilities on late-model FCA  vehicles (see list below).

 This adapter is specifically designed to bypass the factory-installed Security Gateway Module (SGM) — a system that blocks most aftermarket scan tools from performing advanced diagnostics beyond basic code reading and live data.

Without this adapter or AutoAuth credentials, scan tools attempting to communicate with FCA vehicles equipped with an SGM will display errors such as:

“Device unable to communicate with the control unit.”

This adapter allows your YOUCANIC Full System Scanner (and other scan tools) to seamlessly access all modules for bi-directional control, active tests, resets, adaptations, and advanced diagnostics — just like the dealership scan tools.

✅ Compatible FCA Brands:

• Chrysler

• Dodge

• Jeep

• RAM

• Fiat

• Maserati
  

• Alfa Romeo

📌 Common affected models include: Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, Charger, Challenger, Pacifica, 300, RAM 1500+, and more.

🔒 What is a Security Gateway Module (SGM)?

Starting in 2018, FCA began installing SGMs in most of their vehicles as a cybersecurity measure. While it protects the vehicle network, it also blocks aftermarket scan tools from sending commands or performing service functions — unless bypassed.

Estimated SGM Implementation by Model Year:

• 2017: ~20% of vehicles

• 2018: ~50% of vehicles

• 2019: ~90% of vehicles

• 2020+: ~100% of vehicles

🔌 How the Adapter Works:

• Connects to the YOUCANIC Full System Scanner (UCAN-II-C or UCAN-II-P)

• Plugs directly into the vehicle’s 12+8 diagnostic port

• Bypasses the SGM for full access to all vehicle modules, including:

  • ABS

  • Airbag

  • Transmission

  • Body control module

  • Climate control

  • Steering and more

🔍 SGM Location:

The Security Gateway Module is typically located in:

• Behind the glove box

• Passenger side kick panel

• Behind the infotainment/radio unit

⚠️ Important Compatibility Note:

This adapter is only for verified YOUCANIC scanner owners.
If you purchase this adapter without owning a YOUCANIC full system scanner, your order will be canceled.

💡 Already own the scanner? Be sure to use the same email address from your scanner order during checkout to verify eligibility.
