I know the Tazer mini is the soup du jour here. I'm not hear to debate the merits of which one is better, more features for your money etc. I went with the AEV simply because it was cheaper, I haven't read a single issue about it and I had used their calibrator on my JK and had no issues. I paid $120 shipped with $5 coupon from Northridge 4x4.
Features wise this device is pretty sparse, but all I wanted to do was calibrate my speedometer for the tire size and it does this just fine. I guess this is the only issue I've read about, it's lack of features.
Install was simple once I figure out how to open up the locks on the OBD connector. There's no need to remove the brackets like the instructions said to pass the wire from one side to the other. They should have thrown in a couple zip ties but not a big deal, I have a bunch in my workshop.
What I will say, if you drive a Gladiator with an automatic and have over-sized tires, you're doing yourself a disservice by not re-calibrating. The transmission shifts so much better and smoother, that it makes the upgrade worth it's price for this reason alone.
The only negative I see is that the Procal snap is a one and done tool. Yes, you can continue to use it with your Jeep if you change tire sizes and gears, but you can't pair this device with another Jeep. Say you sell your Gladiator, you can't sell the Snap to someone else to use on theirs.
