Tazer (Programmer) for the JL

[Swanny297]

I cannot say anything is absolute as I just do not know all of the details. But what I can say, and I posted it earlier, is that I took my JL in for service last week after un-marring and removing the Tazer JL and I did not hear anything back from them regarding it or anything else for that matter. Performed the oil change and rotated the tires and again, they did not ask me anything about it.
Just an FYI.

I have never unmarried a programmer for an oil change/tire rotation. Chances are your Jeep was never hooked up to any computers or diagnostics looking for codes or flags.

Not sure your warranty can be voided on a new vehicle unless they can tie the failure back to something you have re-programmed.

I had a diablo tuner with hemi fever in my truck that I never took out because it required a PCM module change, the dealership never said anything in fact they were more interested in the tune aspect of the programmer than what it did to the trucks computer.

I'm not worried. My dealer is great and I bought this machine for the sole purpose of my (and my family's) entertainment. Damn the torpedoes, I'm gonna have fun with this thing and not let it cause worry or stress!

It really depends on your dealer and your relationship with them.

I had Procal's on all my Jk's and they never had a problem. heck, they adjusted one once after changing gears for me.

So I told them I had the Tazer in the Jeep and they were interested in what it did as no one had one.

For one thing, I installed the switch panel and wiring and turned it on with the Tazer. They had no problem with that.

Would I take it to another dealer without un-marrying it, oh heck no..........

Ok - so it arrived today and I want to upload the latest firmware - but i do not see it anywhere on their site. When i go to downloads the only thing i see is the updater tool. What am I missing?

 

[PaPasJP]

Go here and download the updater and instructions that tell you what you need.

Placed my order yesterday after sending an email via the ZAutomotive site and getting answers back within an hour or so Awesome response time!

Also, ZAutomotive confirmed that disabling auto-park is going to be coming soon!

Okay, maybe the problem is that the actual update is not a button you click that says update.....

Go to update support tab and on the list on the left at the top is the current version of the firmware.

Click the firmware number and it downloads...... I know.....

The other problem I have is that the app doesn't show up in the app list at all.

I have to go the the folder it is in and double click the app for it to run.

I think that is just me though....... LOL

I have installed the ZAutomotive, programming utility on two, Windows 10 computers so far. I saw the same thing as you. Program easily installs but after install, no program icon anywhere to click on to start the program.

What I did, was go to the folder in Windows 10 where the Z Automotive programming utility program installed and right mouse clicking on the application icon and selecting either or both, Pin to Taskbar and Pin to Start. This places the program startup icon in either place.

That works, thanks.

New firmware update 11.0.2 for Tazer JL is coming tomorrow!

Added are the ability to turn on, and keep on, the backup camera and cargo cam inputs at any speed!

Also added is the ability to turn off the halo’s.. And a setting for front turns as LEDs for those that have switched to LED front turns.

I could have sworn that I read you could keep the swaybar disconnected at any speed but I can't find that anywhere. Do you have any information on this?

Installed my Tazer today wow such a great multi purpose tool. I found that if you remove the trim piece under the steering wheel it’s very easy to disconnect the module. Once trim piece is removed it’s right there on the left hand side to get your hand in there

@Wildmank99
Good info Kevin! Can you speak of the trim piece removal process. Just yank it straight off, lower corner first, or what? Thanks!

Yes I started by the upper piece where the boot is and slowly and gently pulled and worked my way around the sides.
