My fear is what happens when you are in the middle of nowhere, vehicle is REALLY stuck, and the remote for wgatever reason dies? Is there a cable remote as well? Any other way to operate the clutch?
I never got to the middle of nowhere. The wireless remote was DOA. It has been 2 weeks and counting as the remote is in the mail and has not arrived. They need to have replacement remotes readily available at the local Warn retailers.
I bought the Zeon 10-s NON platinum for the very reason that you say this wireless system is a "feature"....I did NOT want this wireless function. I wanted a manual clutch and a wired cable. This stuff is too risky.
My Warn Zeon Platinum 12S remote is DOA. I never even got a chance to use the winch. I am still waiting for the replacement in the mail which has been 2 weeks so far. This concerns me that it takes so long to get a replacement.
Don’t buy one of these I have used mine once it has now lost communication with the remote warn can not supply the part I need to repair it after spending £2000 very disappointed with it get a winch that you plug in with remote
I debated, but I bought the Warn Zeon 12S Platinum. Some Smittybilt reviews are not great. My Gladiator Rubicon EcoDiesel is $90,000.00. I want the best. All it takes is one time that the winch fails when you desperately need it. What is your life and your vehicle worth?

I believe that you can plug the wireless remote into the USB port inside the Jeep.

@@Spunky-iq8jmdid it ever arrive?
Too bad the Platinum remote has a design problem. The battery should not do dead after 2 weeks when the remote is turned off.
My remote battery does not hold charge for longer than a few hours
You had me, until I realized that there wasn't a manual clutch.

Your vehicle is based on all electronics
@@DarrenBoxhall It took almost a month for the new remote to arrive. I am thinking of buying a backup just in case.
A flash remote is the big feature..??

Ok, why this over the smittybilt X20 gen 2 for a third of the price? I'm debating between the two right now.

It's weight in gold would be about $1,800,00
Schmonkee Shomky yeah...cos they literally mean it right?
Good winch.
That’s it
I’m getting one tomorrow lol
Bought one today for 6 payments of $380 😫 lol
Yeah, because electronics never fail in adverse conditions....fuck that! I'll keep my manual clutch with a plug in remote!!
A remote? This whole advertise was on remote LMFAO.
"WARNING" (get it): If the remote is lost or does not communicate you are so fvcked.
And then it snaps.
