2 hackers and one badly designed vehicle have screwed the industry. Thanks. I understand others will follow, but there has been no issue since. That doesn't warrant the whole industry to change. I could be wrong in this statement.

[@brandonsteckler3417]

I understand your frustration but unfortunately this is just something we can decide to comply with or fight. As you can see, it’s not very difficult to deal with.

[@petar443]

Great info Mr.Steckler. I've read in Autotechnican magazine you're coming to Europe to teach about GDi systems.I wish you good luck, and i hope you make some free videos testing these systems with the scope.👍

[@brandonsteckler3417]

Thank you! Very much looking forward to the trip and spending time with like-minded technicians. There will certainly be some hands-on testing but no videos from the class. It’s not too late to get registered! 😎

[@spirokattan3655]

Good info! Thank you Brandon! Hope you have a great 4th of July!

[@brandonsteckler3417]

Thank you, please do the same, Spiro!

You stated that the $50 a year allows five technicians to use the registered tool but when I signed up recently, it was five tools that could be registered for the $50. I signed up under the independent technician. I have three scan tools registered, and it accepted all three for the $50.

[@brandonsteckler3417]

Well, that is great news and something we were not aware of. I’m. It sure if it was a misinterpretation on our behalf or the rules have changed. Either way, sounds like great news to me 😊

[@danielwrisner624]

​@@brandonsteckler3417 Why change that? Not every tech will own (or be able to afford) the exact scan tool. Being tied up for one scanner for multiple jobs wouldn't be proficient nor profitable.

[@brandonsteckler3417]

@@danielwrisner624, not sure I understand your question. The scan tool operates the same as if SGW didn’t exist.

[@danielwrisner624]

@@brandonsteckler3417 The program functions on 5 different scan tools under one business profile. I wouldn't change that part is all that I'm saying.

[@brandonsteckler3417]

Understood, thank you

[@cheapers1952]

It's not the $50 a year it really isn't it's the problem of being in an area where you have accessibility to the internet if I'm wrong please tell me but I think you need internet in order to make this operation work⁉️

[@brandonsteckler3417]

Thank you, This is true

[@RATCHETMAN1001]

yep i tried it but could not get mine to work. could not get help from auto auth on why my tool would not work, so i found out u have to keep an internet connection the whole time.

[@TedOption]

Lets make vehicle's so complicated that they're all ways in the shop. Thats progress!

[@brandonsteckler3417]

I understand your frustration. My goal was to demonstrate that it is not difficult to work with.

[@TedOption]

@@brandonsteckler3417 right.ok.

[@mikasantos3774]

Does not work with my thinkcar scan tool and the tool is registered

[@brandonsteckler3417]

I’m not sure of tools that do not yet comply with SGW/AutoAuth.

[@Blazer02LS]

Does Autuauth have a listing of the approved tools that doesn't require you to buy an account? Asking for the folks who might want to buy a new scan tool and don't know if it will be supported or not even if the tool seller says it is.

[@brandonsteckler3417]

Good morning, Tools must be registered to electronically bypass SGW. The registration is responsible for the fee. There are no tools available (that I am aware of) that will electronically bypass SGW

[@Blazer02LS]

@@brandonsteckler3417 Sorry, I meant a list where you don't have to set up an account with them to then discover if your scan tool is eligible IE they list the snap-on models that can be approved or the TopDon or Launch or Autel models that can be registered. From what I can tell the way it currently works is that you set up your account, then you pay and then you can select the tool you have and see if it can even be used with auto-auth to access the vehicle. With all the tools out there these days it would be nice to know if the one you were looking at can really be authorized or not.

[@ernestkerley6282]

It screws it up for the just getting started.

[@brandonsteckler3417]

Would you please elaborate?

[@philh9238]

Did Brandon take Pete’s spot

[@brandonsteckler3417]

Yes, Pete is no longer with the company

[@DJ-tn7vj]

Man you know that it always have someone out there who mess it up for everyone. Thanks B. Appreciate the information.

[@brandonsteckler3417]

No worries…it’s my pleasure

[@efanclublolsmaforlife2501]

This voids rights to repair act laws.

[@justinhayward5027]

No it doesn’t. Just have to register to get into the vehicle

[@TedOption]

At consumer costs.

[@joshstaton508]

It gets the industry closer to needing a licensed technician to work on cars also. Which ever side of that fence you may be on.

[@efanclublolsmaforlife2501]

@justinhayward5027 this does break the law of right to repair. An you have no access unless you have an active account with the tool company... broken law

[@brandonsteckler3417]

I won’t argue that point. I’m just here to demonstrate that it is not difficult to deal with.

[@efanclublolsmaforlife2501]

Ya did not dispels anything.. won't let you unless you have active updates... so keep spending your 2000. Plus the 50. Per year. This is all bull money grab

[@brandonsteckler3417]

Sorry if I want clear on what I wa Ma attempting to display. I didn’t ask for a 3rd party to govern my access. I also didn’t ask for anyone to “hack” a vehicle and boast of it publicly. But, I do feel a responsibility to help the men and women of our industry get educated on what they will be facing and prepare for how to deal with it. Thank you for watching and I’m sorry for your disappointment.
