Do we know if we can add the second module later to get full functionality? or once LITE always LITE?

Wow, that Lite version is cool. It does what I need. Wish it had been available when I ordered!

My FlashCal has been in the box pretty much the entire time I've owned it. I just don't like it as well. It's slow, finnicky, doesn't always work, and requires me to drag it out each time I need it. The Tazer JL just stays plugged in all the time and it's out of the way. I might as well sell the FlashCal.

While I'm not convinced the Flashcal is for me, I don't have the same experience as you. It was neither slow or finicky. I would rather plug something in when I want to use it.

I know the hood switch that is suppose to be disconnected is tied into the remote start function, did you try with hood switch disconnected?
I did not. It really came down to not wanting to make physical changes to disable and the remote start not working. This led me to think what else might be tied to it I'm not aware of and it became not important anymore. I just get in the habit of hitting the button on the dash each time I start it up.

Does the FlashCal require you to send your ECU to them or is that the FlashPaq and TrailDash (once they come out)?

Yup, since the TazerJL can in fact, actually disable ESS !
Trailcal is working great along with disabling other annoying features.

No - I am running the trailcal right now without any issues. It routes the same as the JK version and stays xonnected to the ODB2 port. You do have to have the bypass module installled.

Personally, I say... why buy from a vendor, when you can buy direct. Would only do this is if the vendor, offered a bigger discount... price was less, etc...

You will only get the discount if you buy direct from ZAutomotive.

If you are current or past Military you can get a 10% discount.

Last I heard the forum discount code was not working.

For the same 5% off as the forum discount, this code will work: JeepInformant2

Suggest you buy here:
https://zautomotive.com/product/tazer-jl/

Note: When you purchase, consider going with the two year warranty that costs $20 versus the free 90 day warranty. Just click on where it says "90 days - Free" and you can then select 2 year warranty.

.

By the way, I have nothing to do with ZAutomotive. I'm just a real happy TazerJL user...
