[@SunDevilinFL]

Fits my 20 scat but process of getting to the stock gear shift linkage was different. Hardest part of install was getting the right wrist pin in the front of the linkage. You need to be a contortionist with your hand. It all worked out though.

[@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374]

I got their burnbox in my Challenger SRT8, and is one of the most innovative products to hit the market in a very long time. It also enables you to control the lights for a show as well as fan to avoid heat soak and of course linelock, but got it primarily for the line

[@jimferry4751]

I just installed and programed the Tazer in my 2017 Scat. This was the perfect video to make the changes I wanted. Glad to have the Bee splash when I start her up. The line lock works great but have to lay off of it as my new tires are taking a beating. Question: if you have a Scat do you leave the items you already have on "Yes"? Only changed a few things but well worth it. Thanks.

Can you change the color of your headlights as well ? & can you switch to awd/rwd?

[@Villainous.]

@@RIP.BIG092MLBOAno, you can’t change the color of your headlights, but you can switch between awd and rwd with it on some models.

[@dannysdailys]

I've listened to you multiple times and now you're going to listen to me. Laugh all you want, but I want to be able to shut off the AWD and to turn in on when I want it on. Instead, it comes on whenever it wants to. Or I should say, it shuts itself off whenever it wants to. There's a whole rule book that Mopar uses to control it. It only turns on when it's 42 degrees or colder, and no way to shut it off on dry pavement if it happens to be cold out. And no way to turn it on if it's warmer out. It also turns on in manual shift, or sport mode. It turns on if the windshield wipers on on. Like I said, a whole rule book and none of it is mentioned in the owners manual. The owners manual also doesn't tell you the AWD is a police special and rides rougher than a 2wd Charger. Except for the SRT. It has heavy duty everything underneath and sits lower on it's heavy duty springs. It even has Brembo dual pots in the front. An AWD dash switch is what it really needs. Auto, On and Off. When I'm going to have some fun and hit some real curves, I want to be able to turn it on. Not turn on the windshield wipers because I don't want sport mode or manual shift. The problem with manual shift is you forget its IN manual shift and suddenly, maybe 5 miles down the road the car won't shift. And you have to look around and see the shifter moved over. But no, no manual control for the AWD and if you want it, the Tazer is the only way to get it. Just a 300 dollar option on a 50,000 dollar car, that's paid for. Dirt cheap, it's not even worth counting. I pay that for a detail job, which my car rarely needs. And you can hot key it. I could care less about light shows and have never even tried it. So keep laughing. I do like the easy out for the seats. It's like night and day getting out of the car and you're quickly spoiled. The drivers seat in the AWD/ Police Special goes all the way to the back seat and you just step out. The first time it does it, it freaks you out. The steering wheel pulling in to the dash is a nice touch. You'll never wear the seats out because you don't have to climb over the bolster to get out. Great for the leather. My car didn't come with that, but it did come with the leather. I can't imagine the car without it now; just like my supercharger. And I like being able to remotely close the windows as well. The first time it starts to rain and you use it, you smile, even though you're pissed about the rain. The Tazer is well worth the money and always has been. So is a pedal box on a stock Charger/ Challenger/ 300. What planet do you live on? @@RIP.BIG092MLBOA

Get a Diablo tuner pedal commander is so trash. If you get a Diablo tuner you can adjust throttle tune 91 to 93 octane turn off mds if you have automatic it’s also a code scanner. Pedal commander does nothing but adjust throttle. Diablo tuner actually adds horsepower

By turning eco mode off. Does that disable the mds system?

[@chrisl2366]

Installing the Tazer the MDS comes on no matter what mode your in including track. I had to unmarry the Tazer just because of that. So to answer your question, no the MDS is not disabled by turning eco mode off. Putting my Scat pack into Sport mode disables the MDS.

[@travis4308]

Why is Hellcat splash not recommended

[@JoeSmoe1]

does it allow you to control/disable active exhaust and turn off 4 cyl mode?

[@bdubz5150]

Track mode turns your active exhaust to wide open full time

[@ModelleisenbahnTV]

@@bdubz5150 track mode on stock cars or track mode with tazer?

[@bdubz5150]

2fst4u both. If you have a track Pak car from factory, you can enable track mode to open active exhaust full time and you can do it from a stock non track Pak car that has active exhaust using the Tazer

[@JoeSmoe1]

@@bdubz5150 Why would I want to run in sport mode 24/7? 4cyl mode doesnt even kick in on sport mode so not sure about your suggestion lol

[@bdubz5150]

joe smoe not sure what your referring to now?? I never said anything about sport mode or why you would want to drive around in sport mode all the time in earlier comments, so I'm confused by your question. Also Your original question asked if there exists a way to control the active exhaust and 4cyl attributes. I answered "Track mode turns your active exhaust to wide open full time" which answers your original question by default to yes you can control your variable cyl, and active exhaust. To add I would have no idea if you would want to drive in sport mode 24/7 or not as that is only a question you yourself can answer. If you have a track Pak car, you already by default have the ability to switch between full time 8 cyl, and full time open active exhaust, or go back to normal with a simple push of a button. If you have an RT without the drag Pak or track mode and only sport mode, you only have the ability to use variable cyl, or stay with 8 cyl full time with just using the sport mode as you want, however you cannot control your active exhaust, it will stay defaulted to variable opening based on RPM. With a Tazer the RT non track Pak owners have the added feature of track mode which then allows you to also control your active exhaust to stay open, which otherwise wouldn't be a feature to enable.

[@ModelleisenbahnTV]

Is it able to let the active valve exhaust stay open in Track Mode?

What about line lock

[@joseluisvazquez9181]

Do you have this for the dodge charger rt or only for challenger?

[@AmericanMuscleDodge]

It may, but I *highly recommend you check with ZAutomotive to check* before purchasing. Since we only sell parts for Challengers and Mustangs here at AM, we don't really have fitment information for other model cars. -Zach

[@rudysrt9249]

My light show dont work when using the keyfob

[@chrisl2366]

I bought the Tazer for my 2015 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack. I do love a lot of the functions of the Tazer like Line Lock and the SRT Transmission/steering Functions but my biggest issues with the Tazer is that the MDS comes on when the Tazer is plugged in no matter if I am in Sport mode or Track Mode. Without the Tazer installed me simply putting the car into Sport Mode disables the MDS. If the Tazer is for a fact putting the car into lets say Track Mode, the MDS should be disabled by the car by default, however with the Tazer's version of Track Mode the MDS come on and it makes the car sluggish and I have to keep hitting the throttle to make it go off. If I select Track Mode, I want to be able to drive around with a car that is ready at a moments notice and with the MDS on I could be beaten by the mere fact that my car isnt ready for a pull if say a Camaro pulls up beside me rolling down the highway at 65, I would be murdered by the Camaro because my Scat pack is a 4 cyc. and that is something no one that buys a Scat Pack wants. I have had to unmarry the Tazer due to that fact and I will only use the Tazer at the track for the TPMS disable and the Line Lock.
