Tazer Mini (New & Better Option): amzn.to/3b0mOuP
If you've just installed a bigger set of tires on your Jeep JL Wrangler and are in need of re-calibrating your speedometer, you can go to your dealership and pay $150 to have it done or you can get a TAZER JL Programmer for a Jeep JL Wrangler and do it yourself! Made by Z Automotive, the TAZER JL is a super compact programmer that that plugs into your OBDII and works off the screen in the middle of your instrument cluster and the buttons on your steering wheel. Of course, not only will you be able to set your own tire size, there's a ton of other things you can do with it including, changing your gear ratio after installing new gears, turning off your TPMS or changing its threshold and really, so much more. The TAZER JL also has LIVE functions, the ability to still use it while plugged in and options for it include things like, being able to turn off your Auto Start/Stop System and Traction Control. And, as silly as it may sound, it even has fun options like a light show with 6 different modes. The best part about the TAZER JL is that Z Automotive constantly makes firmware updates for it and they can be downloaded using their Program Utility software. With all that said, the following short video will show you just how easy it is to install and use on your Jeep JL Wrangler. We hope you enjoy. - Авто та транспорт
I love the way you explain everything. Makes it easy for anyone to understand. Awesome channel! Keep it up!
Thank you, we're so glad to hear you say as much :)
I have tazer on my 22 gladiator just installed 37/12.50/17 on my gladiator what would be tire size I’d need to set I have Mickey Thompson tires
I really love your consistently well produced videos. You have saved me so much time and research over the year that I have owned by Wrangler JL! Keep up the great work.
We're so happy to hear it, thank you :)
Whether you want the programmer or not, you did a great job of showing the installation and use. Thank you.
Thank you. That's all I would ever hope to do :)
Thank you so much for posting this video, I was having a fit trying to read the directions and install my Tazer at the same time. I really appreciate your efforts. Subscribed...
Glad we could be of help. We'd be grateful if you could tell others about our channel :)
Very well done video, clarity of speach and detail! Thanks!
So glad to hear you found our video to be helpful.
Very helpful… I walked right through it with you.. my Willys on 37’s… couldn’t be happier..🤙
Awesome, glad to hear it.
Just installed my taser jl mini. Thank you for the easy and awesome guide.
Glad it helped
Great Video! Watched the video as i did the install. Could not have been easier. Thanks for the Video.
Glad to hear it :)
Like the Light Show! Good video as usual! Thanks!
LOL!! The light show is actually kinda fun.
12:12 seems to be lightning on way!! Nice view man.👍🏻👍🏻
Just put 37's on my JLU yesterday I need this bad! You explained it so well I feel confident enough to order one and do it myself, GREAT JOB man!
Awesome, so glad to hear it! The Mini is even easier to install and use :)
@@wayalife Ordered the mini this morning. You have quickly become my go to help channel on my JL. Keep up the good work man. I wish my pockets were a little deeper would have went with the EVO lift, but I had to go with the 2 inch MOPAR lift instead. So far it seems to be solid but I do believe I am going to have to go higher, we'll see.
I was going to have the shop install the Tazer but after watching your video, I am going to do it myself. I am kinda OCD when it comes to wiring anything at all, I did most of our own wiring on our 2009 JKU which we still have. Thanks for the awesome video.....
Glad to hear our video was able to help you out. 👍
If you have Navigation it should allow you to put in a new destination while moving like the T-2 does on my Challenger. As usual another well presented video, nice work!
Very cool options available with the taser JL. Nice video.
Thanks! The Tazer JL is really nice.
Awesome programmer and it has some nice options.
It really is and it really does have a lot of great things you can do :)
Very nice, looks like a great tool for the JL.
It really is and we really love ours :)
Thank you for the great content! Subscribed!!
Awesome, so glad to hear it :)
Damn you guys are good. Thanks for the instructions and the light show!
Thank you, we're so glad to hear our video was helpful to you :)
Nice Video! Ive have my Tazer for about a week and have been reluctant to install it. I think Ill do it tonight.
Hopefully our video will be helpful to you :)
Another GREAT video!!!
Thank you :)
Really enjoy all your videos hope to one day meet you.
Thank you, it'd be great to meet you someday.
as usual ed great information
Thank you :)
@wayalife I have the AEV ProCal Snap and it harness installed in my JL. I liked the Tazer so much from your video I got one. My question is, do I have to remove the AEV harness to use the Tazer or can I leave it in?
Great 👍 video and product. I wish you would of went through how to recalibrate the gearing after doing any lift.
Sorry, we feel no need to regear with just 37's. Unlike the JK before, the all new 8-speed automatic on the JL does great to pushing 37's.
Hey now that the JL Taser lite is out maybe you can thro up a vid on that?
WHY! WHY! WHY! did I try this without first removing that kick plate. Thank you for that -- clearly couldn't think of that on my own and unplugging those two modules with kick plate in place is essentially impossible.
LOL - glad we could be of help :)
Dear, I was pleased to follow your channel. I have a question. I have a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2019 without borders and I am from Saudi Arabia. Our Wrangler specifications are somewhat different, for example the LED headlamps circle do not work inactive and I don't know how I can make them work like your Wrangler specifications. Thank you.
I was wondering if you addressed speedo calibration etc. ever. Now, I know. Thanks!
LOL!! Oh yeah. We always address the speedo and a Tazer JL is the way to do it.
Great info...only thing I found is that you have to play around with tire size options (use a GPS speed app) until its correct. For me it was the actual tire measurement, not what the sidewall said.
Typically, it should be what the actual measurement is. There have been updates since this video was made and I too have found it necessary to set my tire size accordingly.
Falling more in love with that rig with every video and that Dash is gorgeous. now when I go out to my ZJ I go "aahhh yuck" lol. Soon enough
LOL!! Too funny. ZJ's are still really nice too :)
an't wait to have you try out some of the newer features in the TaZer JL
Hey, have you guys ever figured out a way to disable the 99 mph governor on a 392? If so, I would love to send you my money to get my hands on one!
@@wayalife Nothing for that yet, been focusing on improving our pin lock feature for greater security
@Z Automotive got it and thanks for letting me know. If you ever get to it, I know there are a lot of people, including myself, who would love to get our hands on it 😎
Hey Eddie,
I just bought a Sprint Booster for mine. I have spent 3 days and cant find the tab to disconnect the wires from the pedal to install the sprint booster. I am about to take it to the dealership. Have you looked at the wires going to the gas pedal and found a way to disconnect it? The install took my 10 minutes on my last JK, cant seem to get it done on the JL.
Hi if you leave the stop start in the off position will the remote start still work ? & can you improve the throttle response with this also ? THANKS for the video
would be cool if it could reprogram transmission shift modes for on and off road ....
When you turn the Jeep back on and the auto start stop is disabled should it show it on the dash with an exclamation or did I do something wrong?
I love ur video like always great info👍🏻👍🏻
Glad to hear it, thank you.
I use night vision and was wondering if these will turn off my headlights and tail lights while leaving out the aux lighting?
Anyone else have problems getting to it? This guy made it look easy I can’t get mined unplugged :(
Does this taser work for Renegades? Speedometer recalibration, light show, etc.
wish you would do one about how to-make light show work!!!
Hello Eddie, another great video! I am a new Jeeper and love watching all your videos. When you first had the tire size flashed at the dealership did they make you pay extra for a warranty clause? I also had my JLUR flashed at the Dealership and FCA confirmed as of 5/8/2018 for warranty protection I had to sign a clause/addendum and pay the $130 flash fee and $175 warranty addendum fee. I like the taser and would like to get it for the TPMS. Again, great video!
Umm, no. I just paid $150 for the whole thing. Granted, I wish I would have just bought a TAZER JL instead.
great tutorial video you explained the procedure very clear and easy to follow. Just wondering if you have the same video on a JK jeep?
Sorry, I do not have one of these for a JK.
@@wayalife thanks for replying back keep making more tutorial videos the're great.
Where's the setting for 800 horsepower? And the one for 100 mpg? And and... yeah, I thought so... damn Internet!
I just checked out their website... the Enable/Disable front and rear lockers, is that for 4hi?
I've asked if it could add RWD only to my 2021 392 Rubicon, it's 4wd full time only. Haven't gotten a answer yet.
Can anyone inform if turning off traction control with tazer will disable BLD on the Gladiator? I do not have lockers and would like BLD to stay on.
What is tire size also tire pressure also did you buy after market tpms and no problem warning tpms light?
I am using tazer mini and if i'm vehicle info dashboard the jeep image with all tires showing tires pressure is not showing in dashboard, What setting in tazer mini that i need to do? 2019 jeep wrangler sport jl
Hi thank you so much for all your videos they’re easy to follow I instructions just one question, you said you can remove the Tazer after the setting is done, is that correct? And my jeep has the safety packet since I added the Tazer the dashboard screen has the icon on with the 2 cars crushed , did I forget to update something in the set up?
It depends on which one you have. If you have the mini, you need to leave it in all the time. If you have the big one like what you see in this video, you can remove it but some of the functions will not work with it out. The icon you are seeing is the collision prevention, if you changed out your bumper and no longer have the sensors, you need to turn them off.
Dude! Anyone that is thinking on doing presentation video MUST look at your videos because they are executed perfectly they are just best. My question is will this work for the 2022 Jeep wrangler diesel?
Thank you
To the best of my understanding, yes. Also, thank you. truly flattered that you would say as much.
Hi Love the channel and all the helpful videos. I was curious if you’ve had any battery drain over night after the 2:00 full reboot? Thanks.
Can't say that I have seen that.
Will this version work without the bypass module and just using the OBD2 module?
Do you know the difference between the regular tazer jl and the tazer jl lite?
Excellent!
Thank you :)
Thank You
That’s a pretty cool little gadget!! Can’t wait to get more toys for mine...!! Great video Eddie...!! Do you run a Go Pro as a dash cam ...? I’m considering it....Was involved in a nasty semi-truck wreck in June 2015.... I swear by using some traffic camera in my vehicles.
We don't but I could see how it would be handy to have in situations like that.
I have the superchip flashcal 5 it came with the zautomotive taxer jl mini just wondering how familiar are with the superchip flashcal?
Sorry, not familiar with the Flashcal on a JL. Only on a JK.
I want this just to show my friends that my Jeep does a light show and theirs doesn't.
Who needs manual book, when we have you!
LOL - glad that we could be of help :)
Ok, here is a scenario. I want to run 37s on my JL, so do I need the Tazer JL to ensure that it correctly reads the right tire pressure for each tire? And would I need aftermarket tpms sensors/valve stems?
If you want to keep your TPMS, you can either have your tire shop recycle your factory sensors or you can have new ones installed. You would need something like a Tazer JL to recalibrate your speedometer AND to either turn off your TPMS or set the values of them lower but you do not need it to keep the sensors reading correctly.
I know I’m commenting on an old video but I really need an answer for this.
My winters are actually smaller than my stock tires by 1.5 inches and I’m about 7 kmph off (speedometer shows 110kmph when actually only driving 103). Is my odometer based off of the tire rotations because with my calculations I’ve added about 400 kms extra to the odometer that I have not actually driven. Would really appreciate a reply thanks.
You really need to be setting your tire size based on what it measures up to.
If I turn off the TPMS using the Taser, will it still show the tire pressures? I want to get rid of the dummy light but would still like to see the pressure as that function is still working with my aftermarket wheels.
No, it will not.
How do you pull the two connector out so easy? I depressed the tabs but it’s tight and can’t seem to pull it out. Are there any tips to do so?
It isn't easy but you can kind of pull down on the wires with your fingers as you depress the tab.
Is this updated or fully functional for the 2019? Just got my 2019 2 door rubicon and have 35's going on it in a couple of days. Would rather put the calibration cost towards buying this since start/stop and auto park need to be addressed.
To the best of my knowledge, it should be ready to go on a 2019.
Interesting device. Will it read/clear error codes too? Why does it
program sidewall measurement instead of true tire size?
Yes, it will read and clear codes. Regarding the tire size, this is how they do it at the dealership and I only know this because that's where I had mine originally done. I have also tried setting the tire size to what mine actually measure and my speedometer was off. I think Jeep just made it so that it would be easier to set.
Great video as always! This is something I’d love to have and after watching your video, it doesn’t look so arduous.
Does this void any factory warranty?
Shouldn't void anything especially being that you can revert everything back to stock with ease.
Wayalife I’m thinking of getting this just for the fun of being able to adjust additional settings...for me, the lockers option in 4h and turning off the start/stop makes it worth the price. I’d imagine that you should always remove the taser when taking the car in for service, and also I’m assuming it doesn’t leave any trace for FCA to see that you had the taser installed previously?
So should you remove the tazer from jeep if taking in for service, (the part under the kick panel) and if you do will your jeep go back to factory settings or will you lose the settings you changed?
I'm surprised this device doesn't take better advantage of the center display to show a much more intuitive and robust UI. Still a kick-ass product, nonetheless.
Would the Tazer get rid of the pesky weather warnings? I can’t figure out how to disable them.
Yes, it will allow you to disable them.
Awesome thanks
You bet :)
If a Wrangler JL does not come with the Mopar Auxiliary Switch Bank preinstalled, and I install it myself... Can the Tazer JL be used to activate my ability to utilize my new AUX switches?
No. You will need to have your dealership flash your computer to recognize it.
Does the Tazer have a feature to allow you to turn off the Halo lights while the engine is running? If not, do you know how this can be done?
If it's not already a feature, you could contact Z Automotive and ask for that feature.
How do you use the 0-30 and 0-60
how you keep light fluctuation like that
You mentioned the dealer recalibration. Is that permanent? Even if they have to flash you computer for something ?
Yes, it's permanent and you get to do it twice for the price. However, the cost has gone up since making this video or at least, from what I understand.
Can you remove the tazer jl from the obd 2 slot after you do all the settings or does it have to be plugged in all the time?
So, Tazer now has a Mini and it plugs into the SGW and stays there and there no longer is a module that plugs into the OBDII.
I got free services as part of the deal when I bought my JL !!! Do you know if I need to put things back to normal when I take it in ?
For the most part, no BUT I would anyway just in case. If for whatever reason your dealership needs to flash your computer, this will render the Tazer inoperable.
Hi I was about to watch your video about Tazer JL installation It was so impressive anyways, I had a mere problem when I try to kill S/S button on. when I finished the setting and turned the engine off and engine on again, the S/S off button isn’t truned on. How could you do that? Please help me :-/
Assuming you left the Tazer installed on your OBDII, it should remember the last position you had the S/S. If off, that's what it still should be. Perhaps you need to update your Tazer.
@@wayalife Thank you a lot! But I just wonder how I can update my tazer. I got the usb when I bought this , if you had a homepage about these kind of manual, just let me know how :-) Anyways, i think my tazer version is including the s/s mode cause when I left this installed and key on, it worked! should I just dont pull it out from my car? should it be always married when I take the wheel? Please answer me, Thnks a lot again :)
Hi I need your help to do. My jeep gladiator please
Great review. I installed 35" on my gladiator, will this fix my shifting issues. Truck has hard time upshifting now. Thx a bunch. And is this the best solution.
It will allow you to set your gear ratio and tire size and that will help your transmission shift properly.
@@wayalife thank you for your feedback
Can you shut off the ABS on JL 2020? For desert/sand drives
You can turn off traction control.
Once you do all the adjustments.... do you remove de bypass, or you need to leave it there for ever?????
4x4AGS OVERLAND MÉXICO you remove the Tazer unless you want to use some of the programming that requires it to still be in.
When I saw the word "Tazer" I thought Jeep managed to transform their FOB key into a "Taser", lol.
HELLO, I AM FROM RUSSIA, I HAVE A JEEP WRANGLER JL OF THE EUROPEAN ASSEMBLY, I ORDERED TAZER JL EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOU, AND TRYED TO CONNECT, BUT IT WASN'T IT WORK, I DON'T CLICK THE BUTTONS ON THE BUTTONS ON WRANGLER
You mentioned that the Tazer can control the radio as well. What functions will it allow that are blocked - video playback?
I heard you can also set the tazer to turn the back up camera on which the turn signals are engaged so that you can see more.
Any other tweaks?
I don’t want the dealer to find out about this invasive install due to warranty reason. I might have to unplug this unit before taking it for service. Do I need to unmarry it before I unplug the unit? Thanks!
Yes, you NEED to unmarry it and remove it completely from your Jeep before taking your Jeep to the dealership.
Very informative, thank you. Can you tell me if this same programmers works for gladiators as well?
Yes. I have one, or I should say, the new Mini version of it on my Gladiator.
Wayalife so, I just got my Tazer JL lite which is supposed to work for 2020 gladiator as well and I had no option to marry it. It did show JL and some number. Looked like firmware?? I have no idea. Have any solutions or know why it wouldn’t show the marry option?? It’s a little strange. I ordered it off eBay. Maybe someone returned it and didn’t unmarry??
@@kertiszman Sounds to me like that's exactly what happened.
Hi Eddie, what diameter should I enter for BFG KO2 285/75R17? BFG specs said 33.9 inches. But you mentioned the number on the tire sidewall should be entered into Taser JL. So what's the number for 285/75R17?
I don't know if that's the case anymore. For MOST programmers, you want to enter what you measure - typically, from the center of your wheel to the ground and then x2.
@@wayalife Got it. I will measure. Thanks!
I just bought a tazer and it only lets me set the psi as low as 25. Do you know why they changed it?
I'm pretty sure that 25 is just the lowest that the JL will recognize.
Does this get in the way of a clutch? Looks like it might hang down kind of low.
It doesn't for me.
After you use it on one Jeep can it be used on another? Or is it locked to your Jeep from that "marrying" setting?
It is locked to your Jeep. You can "unmarry" it and then use it on another Jeep but it will then be locked to it.
I predict a lot of angry eye'd Jeeps using that light show feature.
Sad but true.
Another great video. Question and it might be a strange one. I understand the bypass module needs to be connected for you to change the settings. After you have done all you need to do. Can you remove the bypass module and the changes stay changed. I hear people asking why would you do that. AM a strange lad, just ask my wife ; - )
The bypass module needs to stay in place. In fact, Z Automotive doesn't even sell this version of the Tazer anymore as all you need is the bypass now. It comes with everything. You do need to remove it before going to the dealership though.
Wayalife thanks for the prompt reply
I've been considering getting one of these for my 2020 Rubicon Jl. I was bummed to find I don't have the 4wd or inclinometer on my main screen. Do you know if the Tazer JL can change that?
No, that would come with your infotainment package.
@@wayalife that's what I was afraid of. Thank you.
Did you have the TAZER programmer installed before your MOAB trip?
No
Do I need to reprogram my tire size if my JLU is a manual trans.
Not necessarily but your speedometer will be off and at least on early model JL's, there were some issues with performance as well if you didn't.
Would you recommend removing the tazer and removing the program for tire size prior to bringing the Jeep in for service?
YES!!! You absolutely NEED to unmarry the Tazer before going into the dealership. If they do a scan, it'll screw everything up.
@@wayalife Ok! Thx my Jeep bro!
Hi bro so after i done with the setup do i need to unplug the tazer jl from obd port and how about with two connectors do i need put it back like the begin of this video while you take it out or not bro thank you
You "can" disconnect the Tazer from the OBDII but engine on features will not be accessible. You NEED to keep the other part connected.
@@wayalife thank you so much bro
Looks good, but what about Superchips Traildash 2
This is JL, not a JK. There is no need for a Superchips Traildash 2.
What is your tire pressure now also what is your tpms warning light psi set?
You can only set your TPMS to 25 psi. I typically run 28 for daily driving.
after 3 years, you still use it? If I dont plan do get bigger tires should I use pedal commander or something like that?
Yup, still use it and have one on our JT as well. If you aren't going to run bigger tires, I don't see why you'd want anything at all.
Do you have the 3.6 engine or the 2.0 turbo? I have 2018 jl 2.0 turbo and the flashcal did not support it. I wonder if tazer will
The 2.0 turbo wasn't available when we order our JL. That being said, I'm pretty sure the Tazer will work with your JL.
@@wayalife hehe watching your videos inspired me to buy the same white jeep except it has black fenders and hard top with 2.5 inch lift fox shocks, 37 inch cooper mud terrain tires. Watching your videos helped me decide alot of stuff. Thank you. I have also been planning this for about 5 years.
Congrats to you!
