Z Automotive Tazer Pin Lock Mode to Prevent Theft

[navjumper]

I checked out the new update from Z Automotive with the Tazer JL to enable to the Pin Lock mode to help prevent theft of the Jeep Wrangler JL or JT. This allows you to activate a custom button pin that is required each time you start your Jeep, if you do not type in the pin code then the Jeep will activate the brakes and stop a potential theft from happening. If the thief tries to put the vehicle in drive it also activates the light show mode. And there is even a safety for if you get car jacked. Check out how it works here:


*Edit - I made a part 2 video trying to answer the questions people have had regarding the remote start and removing the Tazer after you set the Pin Lock:

Am I missing something? When I go through the menu I don't have a "Set Pin".

Did you update to the latest firmware?

Did you update to the latest firmware?

I have the Tazer JL lite, and upgraded it to the Mini. It is only a week old and it does have the latest firmware installed. Just haven't been having much success with this Tazer stuff. I actually bought it to install a front camera and so far that hasn't worked either. I don't have a cargo camera option on the menu. Odd to say the least.

I stand corrected...pulled the Tazer out, put it back on the computer did another upgrade and another firmware upgrade (though it was the same firmware) hooked it back up and it worked. First problem solved now onto the cargo camera issue. Thanks for the reply.

It looks like someone is making a box to make it a little more difficult to defeat this. @Marine2146 posted some details: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...ou-do-to-your-jeep-jl-today.3033/post-2188598

I figured someone would jump on this idea.

@Fredmilo Just ordered my Tazer, just wondering if there had been any updates on this feature and the M/T?

Would it be feasible for fca to come up with a program in the vehicles computer(update/OTA that would require you to enter a code through your Jeeps system (infotainment). Then and only then would the jeep be able to start. Also tracking.

Yes, it's feasible, but then they'd have to support all of the calls from people that forgot their PINs. There'd need to be a way for them to reset the PIN, which thieves would subsequently take advantage of.

Tracking is available now through the Jeep app.

Tracking doesn't do dick when they pull the head unit fuse.

Yep, any tracking can be defeated, especially if it's not custom.

Hide an apple air tag somewhere in the vehicle.

I will be driving my JLUR into Mexico a couple times in 2023 for wheeling adventures in Baja. I plan to use the pin while in Mexico.

Is there a way to activate the honk alarm if the PIN code isn't entered within the 20 second count down? That would really scare the thief away before he even has time to think of removing the tazer...

They just put out a post saying that an update is coming soon with that option!
