I just ordered a Tazer JL instead of the superchips procal.

My question is does the tazer have to stay plugged in for all features?

Also, do you just leave the bypass connected or only while using the programmer.?

It's all on their website, friend. Some features will work even if it's unplugged. Others will require the unit to stay plugged in. I would plan on leaving it until you need to take it to the dealer for service. Unpair it in such cases.

I'll just copy and paste from the page for the Tazer JL Mini. All the info is there.

Tazer JL features can be broken into two categories;

Vehicle Settings – which are changes made to the Jeep like tire size, gear ratios,
or change settings to accommodate other upgrades or modifications. These
changes will continue to operate after the Tazer JL Mini is unplugged.

Live Functions – which are functions the Tazer JL Mini performs live, only while
plugged in.

you the next time you start the vehicle

time you start the vehicle

any speed
– TurnCAM – automatic backup camera when turn signals are used (8.4 uconnect only)
– Dark Mode- Turns off all exterior lighting and dash/radio/shifter lights while parked with
engine running.
– Light Show mode – 6 preset and 3 make-your-own Light shows that flashes all the exterior
lights, perfect for car shows/first responders/off-road visibility. Control from Key Fob or
steering wheel buttons. Can be enabled for in-motion use for parades, off-road and legal
police/EMS.

the alarm and flash light shows if opened.

still, especially helpful when off-road.
– Winch Mode: Raise idle to 2000 RPM with a simple button press.
– Button Mapping: Use cruise up, down and right buttons as quick-access to some of Tazer
JL’s functions, when cruise control is off.
– Clear CELs – Reset that pesky check engine light. Good when you have mods that set the
light and you know exactly why.

– Firmware updates – new firmware is available periodically, always free!

Did you buy the mini? If not cancel your order and get the mini. It can stay plugged in with 0 issues because it replaces your SGW module and does NOT need to be connected to the OBDII port.

The flashcal reminds me of the AccessPort. Which is awesome for tuning - but, it's a thing you have to now protect and make sure you don't lose... or mount it somewhere on your dash.

The FlashCal does make scrolling through settings easy, but for me I sort of decided it was overkill. The TazerJL Mini is totally hidden away. Gone and forgotten, doing it's thing in the background...

I have the Flashcal on my JK as also and worked well. Please update on the Flashcal for the JT when you’ve had time to try it out. Thx!
