Confused - Need Help Deciding on JScan, Tazer or Other

[Badunit]

Different tools for different purposes.

For all the settings (TPMS, diff ratio, etc.), JScan is easier and does not require "marrying". Tazer aparently resets all your settings when you "unmarry" it. Not the case with JScan.

For live functions like ESS remembering the last state (i.e., OFF for god's sake), license plate light off in reverse, locker(s) and sway bar activation in 2H and 4H, you need a Tazer Mini. I am only using the live functions so I have not married by Tazer to my Jeep.

I have not tried yet but I hope with the Tazer plugged in I can use JScan for diagnostic codes, live sensor readings, and making setting changes through the OBD port like I could with an ECRI bypass device connected.

you can.

Tazer was installed on day one. I doubt it will leave the truck.

for people with locker n sway disconnect you can do that also from jacan on phone

this doesn’t work on my jeep. Tazer is the only one that does it.

I love jscan works like bluedriver but does a ton of other things, including reading and allowing you to adjust many modules vs the tazer which does certain things....and it allows you to do it from phone vs the steering wheel. It also has off road mode.... This allows you to monitor several things, including temps, it also allows you to turn on fans... for people with locker n sway disconnect you can do that also from jacan on phone...it also gives live data. And you can use it on another Jeep vehicle with $20+ license..... to me Tazer seems good but it's more of a one trick pony (but it does most of what most people want) but it can't be used for your other vehicles. There are two extra pieces of gear you need (bluetooth dongle, cable) which I used the cheaper one on jscan site and it works perfectly. Just $.02 to put with the rest of the change.

Best two jscan links I used

I use jscan to bump idle up when needed like winching, etc

I have used JScan to change from halogen to LED lighting in my Sport S. Easy. I bought the extension wiring to make it easier to use the next time I want to make a change.

I bought the Auto Stop Start Eliminator for $99. It remembers the last selection I made on the dash switch. Insert it into the wiring under the dash and forget it is there. Works great for me-none of the mess with this hood switch or that circuit, just plug and play. WORTH IT!

tazer has winch a mode too

Yes - tazer people know that, but most of them, even most others, don't realize that jscan has this and many other functions aside from just changing settings.

You can change rpm for winch use with the Flashcal+ also. Very easy to use.

I use Tazer for the live function and JScan for any "permanent" changes. To use Jscan while
tazer is plugged in, you no longer need the gateway cables, you just connect the blue tooth dongle to the factory OBD2 port and tazer acts as a gateway!

Thanks for all the input. I went with the Tazer and so far very happy. I’m impressed at how much better the JT drives (shift points, etc.) now that I’ve entered the correct tire size (from 31.5“ to 34.5”). I also really like the brake hold option at stop lights, the remembering of the last state of the auto start/stop switch and the license plate lights off while in reverse.

I activated the option to display the backup camera when the turn signals are on. It’s great when changing lanes but kind of pain when you’re at a stop light waiting to turn. I may send that feedback to the folks at Tazer that if the car is stopped, in D and with the turn signal on, the back up camera should not be displayed.
