It is important to note that I am making assumptions that, because of how new these systems are, most of the information I am going to share will apply to all current Chrysler models. It contains some opinion in addition to information from Chrysler factory training as well as service info pulled from my friend Shane Steele’s 20. The following is a comprehensive write up on the SGW. You may have heard about it but for those who don’t know it will change some things as far as aftermarket diagnostics is concerned. There is also a wcp version micropod, Im not sure where that falls into the category.Chrysler’s Secure Gateway Module came out this year. I have not verified that so use that info at your own risk, I also do not know if there are different firmware versions of that micropod that are compatible. Now on to the version of micropod that I was told does work with cda 5 and that is a corporate version, it is used at the plants and was used by field engineers as well, these pods are red in color, this is the version I was told will work with cda5. The wsp version micropod does not work with version 5, you get a missing key error on start up. (I think these might work on cda 6 but can not verify that, it is just a guess). The back of the pod has a different prefix on it then the full function scan tool for technicians, The service versions have a prefix of wsp-xxxx on the back. The first is loaded with operating system for wiadvisor, these are used by service writers on the dealership service drive, they can do a few basic functions such as read and erase codes check for recalls and soo on. There are 3 different types of micropods that I know of. Now as for micropods … I was told by someone that micropods will work with older cda version 5.xxx but only a special kind of micropods. I can verify that cda 6 works with up to date registered vci pods, If you somehow were able to get that software and log in credentials that is…. Here is one thing I know, and one thing I’ve been told.
