Tazer Mini Saga

[SaiintNick]

You can use JScan to do all that. I used Jscan to change the settings and the tazer for the other options.

I can live with the Auto start/stop because that never works anyways when the ac is cooling and the 3 honks is so rare, but annoying for me. I will just pay attention or not worry about it. I do need the speedo calibrated and tpms. I can get a brand new ProCal Snap for $50-75 on FBM.

JScan can do all that plus more. You will need a bluetooth OBDII connector for it though.

The ProCal is from AEV and I think an easy one time setup. I just want no issues. I will drive for a few days without the speedo being calibrated. If I have no issues with the backup camera then it's the Tazer. If I do then it's the Jeep.

I'd go through the unmarry process one more time just to be safe. Then unplug the tazer.
Then I'd suggest maybe a couple quick drive cycles, as in start it drive for a few minutes, shut off, get out. Then do it again. Kinda like running a few errands.
Then see where you are with the camera and such.

This is where a lot of people mess it up, it's 2 reboot cycles, and if you don't follow their reboot cycle instructions to the T it generally will give you issues. This reboot thing is required for both marry and unmarry processes. I had issues until I learned the correct way to cycle it, and when.

As for the 3 honk thing, my 2021 has is, but I successfully disabled it. Was super annoying when leaving my service animal in the truck with the AC on and the key in the holder last summer, so I disabled it. Now I just take the key with me and lock the doors.
- And no he's not being harmed, the AC is on full blast directly on him at the lowest temp setting and a window cracked about an inch for fresh air. Sometimes he's being a butt so I'm not strapping him up for a 2min in/out trip.

Yep ^^^ my experience has been that when people have issues it's because they didn't follow instructions. I've used mine for 8 years now on 5 different vehicles and it's never given me problems. I love it on my '25 Rubicon because I was able to map the rear locker to a steering wheel button and use the locker the way it should have been from the factory even in 2H.

I have yet to play with mapping buttons for macro functions, beginning with Winch Mode. It really comes in handy for that and jump starting other vehicles.

Well after 24 hours and hit or miss black screen rear camera, I've decided its not the Tazer so I'm going to re-install it later tonight or tomorrow. I will hopefully be able to go to dealership someday and it be an easy fix, but I have 3 mirrors so I can live without a consistent camera. Its super annoying, but thats Jeep for ya.

So I have been having issues with my backup camera for as long as I have had the Tazer. It would have a black screen with the steering lines. I would guess it was 20% of the time. I originally blamed on Jeep because well it's a Jeep. I've had the 3 Honk Kill revert back multiple times. Then on Thursday I took it in for fire recall inspection. They plug in their tool into OBD port when I arrived. 9 hours later they call and say Jeep checked ok. Whatever it shouldn't have taken more than 5 minutes. Anyway, I put it in reverse and camera is black. Then every time for 20 or 30 restarts it went black which had never happened. Then I get out and 3 Honk Kill is not working. I reboot it and 3 Honk Kill is working again. Guess what? So is the backup camera. It has worked every time since. So in my tiny brain, it has to be the Tazer. I need something that can fix my tpms and tire size. 3 Hink Kill is cool, but I rarely need it. Auto start/stop would be nice, but I can just press the button if needed. It will become a habit. I don't use any of the other features. Maybe a ProCal from AEV? Others?

I'm on my 3rd JT now. Same Tazer Mini installed on both (plus a JLU in between)

1st JT was a 2020. It was great. Only issues I had with it were of my own doing... trail damage... Then I got it in my head I should get back into a JLU. That was a mistake. Ooops.

2nd JT was a 2020 also, but used w 66k & imported from Canada. Lots of Candian crust & rust in the ususal + strange places. 3 times the back up camara did not work. Looked just like yours. Long story short it was after I tried washing up into the tailgate opening for the camera. As far as I can tell, I was disrupting the cable connection in that general areas. After wiggling the cable at the opening, it would work again. Just sayin.

3rd JT is a 2026. I have not installed the Tazer Mini, but I want to because I plan to put my 37's on it from time to time. Ya. I have two sets of tires & wheels. Fingers crossed it works with my 2026.

I reall like mapping the Back-Up camera to activate when I hit the down arrow on the right thumb buttons. Only drawback is that won't work if you are using Cruise Control, but if I need to be checking your blind spot (in traffic) I probably shouldn't have your Cruize Control on anyway.
