JL Tazer screwed up and screwed me (a little)

[Obi.Wan.Shawnobi]

So I have always had an issue where the odometer would read all 9's. But only recently did the odometer reading stop displaying altogether. It was fine this morning and when I got to the dealership to trade in my wrangler, it would not display. After all this chaos, I left the dealership. I unplugged the unit and now my odometer reading came back, no issues. I don't know where this glitch came from. So now the dealership doesn't want the "risk" of a potentially fraudulent odometer. Headaches. (Milreage reports accurately)

If it's working correctly now, I'd suggest another dealership where they aren't aware of your original odometer issue. Lots of 'em in SoCal.

Try somewhere else!

I would remove it completely on a vehicle that I am trading in.

Don't give ANY official Jeep stealership ammo to use against you if you're planning to trade/sell to them. Unless you have a good reason to keep the Tazer installed, unmarry it and move on. I reprogrammed my tire size with JSCAN because of the headaches the Tazer was causing me. No unnecessary extra programming to deal with and modules to marry/unmarry for service visits.

I'm going to keep my new vehicle stock, so I'm going to walk away from the tazer. They can do with it as they want.

I am in the process of selling it right now. It was just a ploy on their behalf to lowball the trade.

I wish you could just buy a vehicle through the manufacture.

I'm going to get my vehicle and then refinance out from under the whole situation just in spite.

$7,000 trade value diffrrence...difference.... what a long and weird day but I ended up taking delivery of my Gobi Tan 4Xe.

Should’ve just taken the Tazer off and sold it here. I would’ve taken it off your hands

Every time I think I should pull the trigger on a taser, I happen upon one of these horror story threads and immediately put a stop to my order. Lol

Most of those horror stories were probably owner induced, much like this story. This could’ve been completely avoided had the module been unmarried and never mentioned.

Very good point.

My current Hangup is that I’m a Mac user/developer, and since the Tazer doesn’t currently support the platform it doesn’t make sense for me to make the purchase. I’m not buying a Windows PC just for the Tazer. Hoping they get Mac support resolved.

When I had my Tazer a few months ago, I was able to update the firmware using my Mac without issues. Maybe I got lucky, or are there other Mac-specific issues with it?

You should also check to see if JSCAN gives you what you need. The Tazer is the typical default, but if never using the "extra" features over JSCAN, it may not make sense.

Did you follow the Tazer's instructions to the letter?

Yeah, I’ve looked into JSCAN and a few other options, but the Tazer seems to be the better investment and gives some functions I’d prefer to have available.
