Preface
This manual describes the installation of STE Chrysler Passthrough connector. The STE
Passthrough connector is required for all 2018+ Chrysler / FCA vehicles due to the addition of a
security gateway module. This module prevents most OBD devices from operating on the vehicle.
The STE Chrysler Passthrough connector allows for the removal of the security gateway module and
allows normal OBD device operation. The security gateway module is shown below.
1. Remove the three black plastic push pins that attach the silencer panel under the dash and
pull the silencer panel down.
2. One the left side you will see the security gateway module. Disconnect the two connectors
from the module and insert the connectors into the STE Passthrough connector.

first. (If not skip to step #5) Remove the rubber pad from the front and mid compartments.
4. Open the center console armrest lid and pull the center console bezel straight up to release
the retaining clips. Once free the console bezel can be slid back to allow room to remove the
radio bezel.

of the radio bezel and remove the two T20 screws.

into the STE Passthrough connector.
