FCA Diagnostic Authentication Tips and Tricks

Tyler Robertson here with Diesel Laptops and I want to talk to you about something today that may come up new for a lot of people and this has to do with 2018 and newer Fiat Chrysler. 

Right, who's Fiat Chrysler? Well, they own Dodge. 

So what happened here in model 2018 and newer, when you try to do certain commands or certain advanced things you'll see these things asking about field tests and authentication Diagnostics and you click the yes button there and they will ask for a username and password and give you a link. 

So what's going on here is really kind of unfortunate, but what it is, is the tool manufacturer needs to be authorized by Chrysler in order to do those commands. The great news is that on Chrysler's website you will see a list of all the tools that are authorized to do this and at the bottom down here you will see TEXA is authorized to allow you to do these advanced commands on Dodge and Chrysler vehicles. 

Now I want to show you a couple of quick tips and tricks on what you have to do when you see the authentication diagnosis prompt in IDC5.  

Register for an Account

If you've never done this before, go to the Auto Authority Website to register for an account and you need to accept the guidelines that are in here. 

Summary

Only a handful of tools are even allowed to do this kind of functionality with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and TEXA is one of them. If you run across this diagnosis authorization prompt in TEXA IDC5, simply click the link to go to Auto Authority website, register, verify your account, and buy your subscription. After that, you will be able to do what you need to do.
