Launch Tech UK has released a Security Gateway (SGW) Multipack to address the increasing use of secure electronic ecosystems in modern vehicles. Manufacturers including FCA, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault now protect critical systems behind gateways, which restrict unauthorised diagnostic tools from performing advanced functions.
Without valid credentials, workshops may be limited to basic fault code reading. The Multipack integrates with existing Launch X-431 diagnostic platforms to unlock restricted capabilities, such as:
- Actuator tests and bi-directional controls.
- Service resets and DPF regenerations.
- Module coding, adaptations, and battery registrations.
- ADAS calibrations and steering angle resets.
Launch Tech UK notes that having authorised access is necessary for maintaining professional credibility and efficient turnaround times. The multipack approach is designed to be more cost-effective than purchasing individual brand subscriptions separately. The company stated:
“Instead of being locked out of advanced functions, your workshop gains legitimate, manufacturer-approved access to protected vehicle systems.”
As security gateways become an industry standard for vehicles produced from 2018 onwards, the Multipack is intended to future-proof independent garages and mobile specialists. Launch Tech UK provides UK-based technical support and guided activation to ensure compliance with OEM security standards. The firm concluded:
“If you’re serious about delivering complete diagnostics without limitation, SGW access is the next step forward.”
