I've had a Taser JL Mini for two years now and always wondered what the heck that PIN setting was all about. I bought it for wheel and tire settings (37's) and ignored about everything else. This was super useful info and I appreciate you taking the time to share man!

[@Casey250]

I am always happy when I can help you guys out!

[@OlafKilthau]

I completely agree that the honk is so annoying! I'm going to buy the Tazer. Thanks for this video!

[@zautomotive]

Happy to hear it 😉

[@steventyrrell30]

The blackout mode is awesome when you are out in the middle of nowhere and can see the stars.

[@99stomperjccollins54]

I updated my Tazer JL lite to mini when I got ORACLE tail lights for Christmas. The LED tail didn't work until I changed setting to LED. I have used it for tire size and pressure changes. I don't leave it plugged in but I may after hearing of a couple of these feature you pointed out. Thanks for another great video!!

[@crambo617]

Great video. In the process of buying my first Wrangler and the blackout mode is something specifically ive been thinking of trying to figure out. Running that with an IR lightbar will make driving with night vision a much easier option!! Thanks for the video!

[@kristparra7697]

😮

[@roygomez8043]

Same! I was also trying to find an IR camera that I can add to give me a forward looking view popping up on my screen.

[@hangemhigh64lv]

Great info! I just installed a JL Mini in my ‘22 JTR. Programming to a little getting used to, but its not that bad once you get the hang of it. I’m slowly doing mods to my Gladiator. I purchased some Oracle taillights to replace the “butt ugly” halogen taillights. I found out quickly that the lights were not compatible with my JL until I changed the setting in the computer(or got some resistors) I opted for the JL Mini because it allows me to change the settings as I mod my rig. Great tool!

[@Casey250]

Yep! Great for that too!

[@zautomotive]

Always glad to hear that the Tazer helped with new mods

[@clintk4691]

Canadian here too. That honking feature would drive me crazy! I already don't like the push to start. Guess I'm keeping my 2021 truck for much longer than I expected originally. I like my key.

[@rrrashen]

Great video, thanks! FWIW, my 2022 JL honks not two but THREE times when I exit it while it's running.

[@davidcarrico3385]

I wish they would come out with a Bluetooth edition that would allow you to control and configure it via an app. I have one and like it overall, but am not a fan of the interface. I also REALLY want them to enable turn assist for the 4xe.

[@Casey250]

An app would be awesome! Zautomotive is a great company and i've spoken to the owner several times. I think it is great to support a company that offers so many free feature additions and product improvements and perhaps with enough support from the community they can develop more cool stuff like an app.

[@MrNoESP_Z_Automotive]

We’re working on the mobile control via BT. As for the 4XE we can’t add turn assist, line lock or anything that controls the brakes as the ABS system is part of the hybrid drive system which they’ve made kind of off-limits.

[@ingelri2]

I'll buy one when they develop an app.

[@Criztaztrophe]

​@@MrNoESP_Z_AutomotiveThat's awesome. Just got a JL and this is on the list of things I'm going to buy.

[@richardlandry5691]

So glad you made this video! I was hoping for a way remove some of the features like auto park and the garage door being off. This is great. Now I need one sooner than later.

[@zautomotive]

I know this is an old comment, but let us know if you need any assistance

[@W2IRT]

On my Grand Cherokee Trailhawk the start-stop defeat was the reason I bought it. The TMPS threshold and tire change values are also very worthwhile, as is the satnav entry feature. Expensive but very well worth it. No real use for the PIN feature or the backup camera with turn signal, however.

[@brianyoung783]

The home link buttons aren’t active after the vehicle is shut off because if someone breaks into your Jeep they can open your garage if it’s parked outside and gain access to your home very easily. Same as if you leave a garage door opener in plain sight (visor) and park your car outside you are asking for trouble.

[@brianyoung783]

Thanks for the content!! Love the build! Hope to see you on the trail down in the States!

[@Casey250]

I understand that they shouldn't be on all the time, but perhaps once the vehicle is locked they should disable or after 60s and / or the vehicle is locked.

[@MrNoESP_Z_Automotive]

Tazer enables them for 30 seconds after you shut the Jeep off, not indefinitely. And if you choose the ignition+door option it’ll also enable them if the alarm is off and the door gets opened. Won’t work if someone brakes in or removes the top to get to the buttons.

[@dougjohnson4266]

I hope this thing has a way to disable the 'radio accept' message and maybe enable the rear locker in 4H. The auto stop/start remember is enough for me.

[@eugeneenslow8563]

The pin lock feature is literally priceless‼️

[@zautomotive]

Appreciate hearing that

[@jamesdahl4039]

Thanks for this I’ve been meaning to pull out the Tazer manual and check the options you highlighted the good stuff!

[@ChefJon250]

Ginger cameos are the best cameos.

[@mike-pl8sn]

Yes, we have the same thing in the US. You leave the fob in the car or you leave the car running and get out, the car honks at you.

[@OlafKilthau]

Do you have to leave the Taser plugged in?

[@overloadOverland]

passengers heated seat coming on with remote start is the best feature for us folks living in the extreme cold.

[@Casey250]

Thats a good one for sure if your always driving with someone

[@Mineboy-10-8]

I love this product. AWESOME DEAMENATOR🎉

[@davidmolina8156]

Hey Casey, I was wondering if this could potentially be a problem with warranty?

[@KarlGPhoto]

It will void your warranty.

[@zautomotive]

@@KarlGPhotono it won’t. Unmarry and remove before dealer visits

[@kevinfortier8452]

The PIN lock feature is really nice. When it first came out I looked into it and found out all they required to do was remove the Tazer to get around it. I heard that the Z-Auto team were working on something to prevent this but not aware of any update on that. Maybe there is a way to relocate the ports where the SGW module is plugged into somewhere else to better hide/secure this from happening. I have a great idea of using an already built-in feature of the Jeep that you mention in this video Casey. I would love to share it and maybe you can do a special video about it as an extra measure to help prevent your Jeep from being driven. (Mine unfortunately, was stolen back in early summer and still waiting for my factory order.)

[@Casey250]

They commented on my IG that they were working on an update for removing the tazer.

[@MrNoESP_Z_Automotive]

The update is pretty slick, you’ll all be satisfied ;)

[@MrStaybrown]

I just had a hidden kill switch on my jku, so the vehicle just won't start.

[@2020gladiator]

Great video. As soon as I saw they added the pin, I updated my tazer. Only issue I've found is I often forget about the pin, put the Gladiator in drive and it locks down. Of course I just then add the pin and drive off. A few times though, if I take too long the ABS and Traction control light stays on. Also, jumping in and out with the key in your pocket get annoying sometimes. But, over all a valuable feature that I am happy they added.

[@Casey250]

Make sure update to yesterdays release - they have been tweaking the PIN every few days to make sure it works bettere.

[@2020gladiator]

@@Casey250 I missed that they put out another update yesterday. Thanks.

[@robdavis7063]

Curious if you guys are able to make winch mode work for a diesel? Also, don’t know this, but can it be made to use while wheeling? I used to have an ac kick solenoid hooked up for crawling at like 1200 rpm, that would be awesome in my jtrd!! Also, anyway to extend the remote start timer longer that 15min?

[@kg0311]

Idk why but on my 23 ecodiesel tazer mini, if I keep it plugged in it just keeps saying service shifter and inside lights flicker. I did the reset and everything that was said and downloaded the newest update. Idk.

[@Think1st-m9r]

I like the pin setting but any comment on a valet parking situation? The wife has a Rubi and she frequently has little option at some places she visits. Also how does some of these changes affect the warranty? Appreciate the video.

[@jonathanconway7256]

Door honk is in the states also. If you are doorless you still get the honk if the key fob is more than 15 feet away from the driver's seat

[@nickq615]

My '21 JT doesn't do it. Not sure of it was something they added after that or not.

[@madmac8283]

PIN sounds good but what do you do if you want to use valet parking or leave it at a shop for service?

[@JTRSpartacus]

[@Bayless18]

My 2013 Focus ST honked when I got out and left it running but my 2021 JT doesn't and I'm actually pretty happy about it lol

[@leemen]

Auto park disable is my fav. Never understood why Jeep would allow me to drive with no doors, but not allow me to drive with one door open.

[@Kevinstrickland33]

I think it started with the rams and their dial shifters for the 8 speed, the programming just kind stayed after that

[@ChasingDreamsLivingLife]

The pin mode also makes the auto /start feature disabled. So if you are the type of person that likes to use that to warm up your jeep or something, This wont work for ya. Because like you said, you have to put in the PIN or the jeep will shut down. Its a Great feature for those that want to use it. My Opinion, the best anti theft Device is the REVELCO! Not one vehicle has ever been stolen with it installed.

[@Casey250]

i can still remote start my Jeep and enter a pin after getting in. They just updated thwir firmware again to fix a few nuances

[@ChasingDreamsLivingLife]

@@Casey250 whats the time limit after a remote start, before the pin is needed?

I always have my door open when backing my 03 ram to hook my trailers up. or backing down a boat ramp. My Girls JL drives me nuts with the auto start stop and I cant move it with a door open. We towed her jeep behind our RV and it drove me crazy not being able to move it with the door open when i was trying to hook it up to the tow bar. I will be adding this Tazer thing to her Jeep fast. Thanks for the info.

Very well explained. I bought my Tazer mini for the purpose of the KillHonk and for future tire upgrade. The Pin lock feature sure is handy but it doesn't 100% work all the time. or maybe just on mine. but yeah money well spent on the Tazer mini.

[@rxtu7367]

15:12 Jeep does this so that criminals can’t break your Jeep’s window while its parked in the driveway, hit your homelink garage opener, and enter your garage or house.

[@MrNoESP_Z_Automotive]

You still can’t do that even with the Tazer enabling it. It’s smarter than that…

[@zacharybarlow3960]

Not allowing the garage door opener to work unless the vehicle is on is a security feature. Some thieves will break into your vehicle in order to open your garage and gain access to it or your house.

[@thuglincoln7699]

I personally would never disable or bypass the SGW for any kind of features - Your car is now remotely hackable from anywhere via your Uconnect cellular connection. They put that there for a reason, and that is because there was a vulnerability where a remote hacker could issue arbitrary commands into the vehicle's CAN bus.

[@phillipcraggs6202]

I have one, and it doesn't quite work right with my early build JLU. Even with a software update, i still can not get the FAD to disable. Everything else I have tried works, and its still a good thing to have.

[@catitudelatitudes2083]

Heard that using a Tazer and disabling the Start/Stop will run down your Aux battery faster and that in turn will drain your main battery faster? My Aux just got changed 500 miles away from end of my fact warr. (3 yrs) If 5 yrs is normal, need to also disable the Aux battery but heard it controls Accessories??? Can you clarify impacts?

[@TonyGiu2]

I think the garage door opener buttons don’t work when Jeep is off is due to if it’s parked outside with doors off / or you have a soft top you don’t want someone to easily be able to then open your garage if keys aren’t in the Jeep. While it can be annoying I do understand why it’s the way it is.

for updates, I just take it out, update it, put it back. No to unmarry, all settings are saved.
