JScan and dealer visit

[IamPro2A]

I now have both the tazer and AlfaOBD, pretty much for all the reasons @ShadowsPapa outlined for both. I like features of both.

I like the live features of the Tazer. My Gladiator isn't for hardcore offroad, it's my daily driver (I have other toys for offroad), but I like the turn cam. I like turning on the rear cam with a push of a dash button vs scrolling through menus while driving. I LOVE turning on the bed and reverse lights from the fob, especially in winter.

With AlfaOBD, I like that I can make system selections on multiple vehicles with buying a license for each vin. I have a standing offer to do this for other local Jeep/Dodge owners at no charge. Even Jscan is an expensive option if all you want to do is turn off the highbeam dropout on the driving lights because we live in a rural area and every little bit of light can help at night.

LOL I love this forum. OP asked if he should remove his Tazer before dealer service and it turned into a debate and discussion on JSCAN vs Tazer.

Mostly agree but you can lock the rear on 2hi without a tazer. Turn stability and traction fully off, and lock away.

Can you explain how to do this? I know how in 4hi, but not in 2hi.

And it will go on for 12 pages.

I read it as he asked about dealer visits for his wife's JL and the JScan. Point made though.

I'm not even going to remove or Unmarry the tazer if mine ever needs to go to the dealership. I do not see the need to, so what if they see I have it plugged in as long as it has nothing to do with my problem . So what if they see I have stuff added and programed it myself .

The Tazer manufacturer recommending unmarrying/disconnecting is a pretty good reason to.

I just unmarried and removed my tazer right before taking it to the dealer for an inspection sticker and to have the rear seal leak fixed. They called an hour later and said sorry it got a rejection sticker because the front turn signals don't work. um yeah okay whatever sounds good. Should've just left it plugged in. No clue what I'm going to have to fix now. I'm hoping when I get it back and marry the tazer they will magically work again but something tells me that would be too easy.

I keep a log of all changes made.
In fact, if I make changes via AlfaOBD, it automatically shows me the original setting, and the change it made and I can export that log or save it to Google Drive if I want.

It's one of those "just in case" things - maybe I goofed and changed the wrong thing, or made an incorrect change on the correct thing, or I need to put it back when trading it or whatever. It's also handy for if any future flash ever undoes what I did - I know what to put back.

Thank you - while I'm waiting I think I'll make a quick checklist of things to put back. It's only a few. Do you think the front turn signals not working all of a sudden is just because the Taser has been unmarried, or something worse that may have happened while they were plugged in conducting the inspection process? Note - my Willy's was 100% halogen when I bought it. I changed the fender DRL/turns, fogs, and tails to OEM LEDs. I didn't think they would just stop working...hmm...

If you use tazer to change the light settings - I have to ask as I haven't actually used one - when you "unmarry" - does it put stock settings back?
If it was halogen and you went to LED, you would have made changes to tell it LED - something to at least look at.
Ideally, a tazer owner who has made the same changes (and likely there's quite a few of them here) will jump in.
I can't see that you did any lasting damage per se - likely just a setting went back after removing the device.

These things are also really picky when swapping light types - flicker, non-working lights and so on - so if any change was undone by unmarrying and removing the tazer........

Whoops, should've read the title of this thread more carefully! But real quick, I think the jeep cut power to the turn signals after so many blinks of thinking it was malfunctioning since the taser was unmarried. Re-married and set to LEDS, all is well. Still need an inspection sticker though...
