when unplugging the tazer it stops the countdown. What if the countdown finished and then it was unplugged? If someone tried to take the jeep and couldn't get to the tazer till after the countdown would unplugging defeat the anti theft?
Hey loved this video and second part. It helped out with configuring my Tazer. I had a question about how you got the lights to flash like you did? I tried lighshow but it would not stay set once I restarted, is there a trick?
Fabulous idea! What a great anti theft device! I already purchased a Tazer Mini when I installed 35" tires on my JT to be able to reprogram in the different tire size, so I can download this feature onto the Mini?
James, what front bumper is on this Wrangler? I'm looking for an aftermarket small bumper but I don't want a winch mounted all of the time. Thanks for your time
I can see how that would be AWSOME. But if your like me and keep your key in your pocket, any time you get out to get something you forgot, or you remote start it or on the trail getting out for spotting or anything I could see that being really annoying. Thanks for the info though!
I answer some more questions in the Part 2 of this video. But yes, you need to leave it plugged in for the feature to work: ua-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/v-deo.html
This is awesome, and I'm totally going to do it, but answer me this... What happens if I forget my PIN? Also, what would happen if you hit the OFF button before you got dragged out of the Jeep?
There is a procedure for resetting the pin if you forget it, they have it in the manual. If you shut off the vehicle when getting car jacked, they would need the pin after starting it to drive away.
I stop at a red light and the auto start ingage turn off my jeep when it turned green I drove and vihicle braked at the middle of the intersection it ask me for the pin again I had a lot of traffic stop almost got rear ended.
Another awesome video! I have a 392 with the LasFit Stealth hood lock system which has worked flawlessly. I was thinking about the Ravelco but I was waiting to see if something easier, better, and cheeper came along. Well thanks to you it has. 😎👍 Also good to see I am not the only person who gets only 200 miles range on a full tank ;)
Always glad to help! Someone on the 392 groups was just talking about getting 300 miles per tank on their 392 and I was like how you do this magic??? 😂
This is not going to stop 95% of thieves from taking your vehicle. This is easily defeated by removing one plug or snipping 2 can bus wires at the gateway which is what they already do automatically. Ravelco is a good system but you loose some factory features like remote start and you need to carry a shorting plug to start it. You loose it your screwed, you take it in for service or work, you need to give them the plug. Your best bet is an IGLA and a gps with battery backup like the drone x1 and x1 pro. All factory features work and a personal pincode system is used and won’t start without it.
Cool video and a cool feature. You should see if there's a setting on the Tazer JL to delete the words "go ahead and..." from your future videos as they are 100% unnecessary.
But what if the hijacker just takes the device out of the socket? Or after entering the pin code, the device can (or should) be obtained? You didn’t say anything about this ... Then he will just sit down and go ...
So what happens if you're sitting in your jeep, with the garage door closed for too long? They get the house AND the jeep?!! 🤣 oh...a couple well.placed 9mm rds will also stop a carjacking, won't even have to leave your seat

Glad we could help, and congrats on the Jeep
I used to live in Chicago but I also have a 2019 wrangler which I loooove. And some of those Chi streets are rough but still no match for my Jeep

Thanks for the vid and info. The ode to Contra is great
Lol, I was hoping people would get it!
Z automotive has a security box that you can install on your tazer little more secure than just zip ties.
I like the GHOST II
Cant start it without the code just like the phone.
Thanks 👍 gotta update mine now. Also ...gotta love the smiling car jacker 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣. I'm loving that color 👍👍
Lol! Thank you.
Nice! I love that Joe and the guys are constantly giving us new goodies 🤘🏼
Yeah it’s awesome that they are always adding new updates.
And we appreciate your support
when unplugging the tazer it stops the countdown. What if the countdown finished and then it was unplugged? If someone tried to take the jeep and couldn't get to the tazer till after the countdown would unplugging defeat the anti theft?
What if someone figures it out and pulls out the z-auto obd module? Is it back to normal or still disabled?

How does it work with remote start?

wouldnt they just need to remove the module from the obd2 port? to bypoass?
I address a few more of these questions in the part 2 video: ua-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/v-deo.html
What happens in these same situations if you're doors are all off? Thanks.
Fabulous idea! What a great anti theft device! I already purchased a Tazer Mini when I installed 35" tires on my JT to be able to reprogram in the different tire size, so I can download this feature onto the Mini?
I believe Z Auto gives you the option to upgrade yours to a Mini by downloading an update.
When will they have a JEEP JKU option ?!!!
Nice looking Rubi!
Nice add on from Tazer 😊
James, what front bumper is on this Wrangler? I'm looking for an aftermarket small bumper but I don't want a winch mounted all of the time. Thanks for your time
That’s the factory steel bumper.
@@shockerracing was that smaller bumper an option, mine is full length
@@autohog the factory bumper allows you to remove the ends to make it a “stubby” bumper.

What happens when you remote start?
We have more details in part 2: ua-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/v-deo.htmlsi=r6N4BPFpbrVZXbUg
I never knew you can do this
They added the few a while back.

just turn it off, its easy
Does it not override if it detects the key fob again?
What about remote start will it work
So I'm guessing the Z Automotive Tazer has to be in your OBD II at all times for it to work right? once it's programmed can you remove the Z tazer?
I answer some more questions in the Part 2 of this video. But yes, you need to leave it plugged in for the feature to work:

They claim it works, it just acts a bit differently in the way it functions.
Just to clarify…you did say this works on the taser mini..? Thanks
Yes, the mini but not the lite.
@@shockerracing thank you sir…very quick..!

Yikes! That’s scary, you might want to let Z Automotive know what happened.
Does the Tazer remain plugged in at all times? What happends if a thief breaks in and pulls out the Tazer Pin Lock?
I did a part 2 video that answers more questions here: ua-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/v-deo.htmlsi=Zi2NIWuI87eO0PSt
What if your doors are off ?
Or your using tube doors ?
I’m assuming you will still have to enter the code when you start it, but I have not tried it yet.
The carjacking protection requires sensing the doors opening/closing. It does not work if the doors are removed. I'm so disappointed.
Have to be plug in all the time?
Very helpful - thank you!
Does it work on the razer mini if updated online?
You would have to pay for the update to make your mini a Tazer Lite.
What if the car jackets realize that you have a tazer installed and unplug it what will happen will the Jeep still have those functions?
I answer more questions in part 2, but unplugging it disables the pin lock: ua-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/v-deo.html
so did you leave the Tazer installed? I am not sure if I need to leave my Tazer in or not. (22 Gladiator Mojave)
Yes, it needs to remain plugged in.
What if they know what it is and remove it
Nice! Thanks 😊
Always glad to help
Full tank, range is 208 miles?
😂😂😂 yep, if I’m lucky
Does pin still work if tazer is removed?
No it does not. Check out our part 2 video, we answered more questions: ua-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/v-deo.htmlsi=u3nchEDlplFfpqMs
What happens if they grab the tazer and toss it out the window, well this feature still work or is it strictly tied into your tazer??
We answered a few more questions in our part 2 video, but yes, if they remove the Tazer it disables the pin: ua-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/v-deo.html

can you remote start still?

Noticed you have Killed the 3 Horn Honk 😅
Had to get rid of that right away, and been running in Force 2wd for the last couple weeks!

Um...maybe open the garage door with when running your engine?
Lost my jeep this month!
Does it work with the taxer mini?
Yes, Tazer Mini works. The Tazer Lite would need to be upgraded.
does the tazer unit stay in the port ?
The original Tazer JL did, the newer Tazer Mini plugs in behind the OBD port
Is it just me, but did you just start your vehicle and make this recording while the garage door was closed the whole time?
I appreciate so many peoples concern for my safety, but the garage door was opened about 2 feet.
Cool video and a cool feature. You should see if there's a setting on the Tazer JL to delete the words "go ahead and..." from your future videos as they are 100% unnecessary.
Does Pin Lock work on a JL with manual transmission?
That’s another great question, I wonder if it will engage the brakes when the vehicle is shifted in to gear?
As with all things programmable I imagine a really good thief with a laptop would be able to somehow over ride this?
Once activated I guess you can't valet park it, right?
You would either want to turn it off or show the valet how to do it.
No way I’m letting a valet go joy-ride the 392 😆

So what happens when you go wheeling and get out of your jeep to help someone and your key fob is in your pocket ?
You will have to enter the code again when you get back in. Or just turn the code off while wheeling.
you can either re-enter the code, or just disable the code for the trip, but never know how many car thieves are lurking around the trails
Hah, was thinking of when my arrives using that password, then watched your video to check it all out. Guess I aint using that now :D
