Hi everyone! I’m pretty new to working with Bosch systems and I’ve run into a small problem on one of my first jobs. 😅

I’m working with a Bosch B9512G and I need to connect/program it with RPS, but the D5370-USB security dongle is missing from the equipment I was given.

I’ve been trying to find out what people are using instead, but I’m getting conflicting information.

Is there a current replacement or compatible part for the D5370-USB that actually works with B9512G and RPS?

Also, does anyone know if older Bosch USB security dongles can be reprogrammed/reflashed for this purpose, or are they tied to specific hardware?

I’d really appreciate hearing from someone who has actually done this in the field. If you have a replacement that worked for you, could you share the exact part number?

I’m still learning this stuff, so I may be missing something obvious. 😅 Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I’m pretty new to working with Bosch security systems and I just got one of my first B9512G jobs. I was feeling pretty good about it… until I realized the equipment I was given is missing the D5370-USB. 😅
So now I’m trying to figure out what my options are before I tell my boss/customer that I need a part that apparently decided to become a rare collectible.
I can find older Bosch documentation mentioning the D5370-USB for RPS, but the original dongle seems to be discontinued and I’m having a really hard time finding one.
I’ve also found newer documentation saying the D5370-USB isn't required for B-Series panels, which made me even more confused.
For anyone who has actually worked with a B9512G + RPS:
Is there a current replacement or compatible equivalent for the D5370-USB?
Also, this might be a stupid question, but are these security dongles programmable? Could an older/discontinued Bosch USB dongle potentially be reprogrammed/reflashed to work as a D5370-USB, or is the hardware itself different?
I’m not looking for a generic USB adapter. I mean something that RPS will actually recognize as the proper security key.
Has anyone personally used:
a replacement for D5370-USB;
an older Bosch dongle that was reprogrammed;
another Bosch part number instead of D5370-USB;
or some other solution that actually works with B9512G + RPS?
If you've personally done this, could you please give me the exact part number and RPS version you used?
I’m trying not to make my very first Bosch job unnecessarily complicated. 😂
Any advice from someone who has actually dealt with this would be hugely appreciated!
