I have a 2020 Ram Rebel (5th Gen) and am looking for a security gateway bypass cable to use AlfaOBD. I've been trying to contact @DeereGuy but haven't been successful yet. Does anyone know anywhere else I can get this cable? Thanks in advance.

I have a 2016 myself, but this might work...https://www.kaodtech.com/product-page/security-module-bypass

Thanks- that's @DeereGuy 's web site. I haven't been able to get in touch with him yet, so I'm hesitant to order from the site.

@Rlaf75 - do you use this cable with AlfaOBD?
Yes I use it with alfaobd. Before I bought that bypass harness and the alfaobd app I emailed alfaobd to verify it's compatibility with the app. I've only used it a couple of time to add the tailgate warning and the fog light drop out functions but it worked fine. The only thing they recommend to be used with the alfaobd app is the OBDlink MX+ bluetooth device. Other cheaper ones can be used but according to the email i got from alfaobd they may not allow for every feature of the app to be accessible without another cable. I use the OBDlink MX+ and the bypass cable I posted without any issues. Everything connects in a few seconds

Yep that's the OBD device I use. Thanks!

Did you have to go to the security gateway and bypass it there or does the cable do the bypass at the OBD port? The gateway on a 2018 is buried behind the radio.
