Have this in my hellcat and scat pack. I was also worried about them unplugging except. In the hellcat and scat battery’s are in the trunk I’m not sure about jeep. You can reroute a second obd port off your battery and it’s under pad covering spare tire. So the Tazer suppose to lock trunk as well so they can’t get to it.
@@SRTGHOSTS I added a tazer air cylinder to latch the Jeep hood and the secondary obd port. Plus a steering wheel cable that they will have to take time to cut 😂. Like I say, I’m sure they can get it but they will have to work a little harder
I can see how that would be AWSOME. But if your like me and keep your key in your pocket, any time you get out to get something you forgot, or you remote start it or on the trail getting out for spotting or anything I could see that being really annoying. Thanks for the info though!
Another awesome video! I have a 392 with the LasFit Stealth hood lock system which has worked flawlessly. I was thinking about the Ravelco but I was waiting to see if something easier, better, and cheeper came along. Well thanks to you it has. 😎👍 Also good to see I am not the only person who gets only 200 miles range on a full tank ;)
Always glad to help! Someone on the 392 groups was just talking about getting 300 miles per tank on their 392 and I was like how you do this magic??? 😂
This is not going to stop 95% of thieves from taking your vehicle. This is easily defeated by removing one plug or snipping 2 can bus wires at the gateway which is what they already do automatically. Ravelco is a good system but you loose some factory features like remote start and you need to carry a shorting plug to start it. You loose it your screwed, you take it in for service or work, you need to give them the plug. Your best bet is an IGLA and a gps with battery backup like the drone x1 and x1 pro. All factory features work and a personal pincode system is used and won’t start without it.
when unplugging the tazer it stops the countdown. What if the countdown finished and then it was unplugged? If someone tried to take the jeep and couldn't get to the tazer till after the countdown would unplugging defeat the anti theft?
This is awesome, and I'm totally going to do it, but answer me this... What happens if I forget my PIN? Also, what would happen if you hit the OFF button before you got dragged out of the Jeep?
There is a procedure for resetting the pin if you forget it, they have it in the manual. If you shut off the vehicle when getting car jacked, they would need the pin after starting it to drive away.
Cool video and a cool feature. You should see if there's a setting on the Tazer JL to delete the words "go ahead and..." from your future videos as they are 100% unnecessary.
Hey loved this video and second part. It helped out with configuring my Tazer. I had a question about how you got the lights to flash like you did? I tried lighshow but it would not stay set once I restarted, is there a trick?
Fabulous idea! What a great anti theft device! I already purchased a Tazer Mini when I installed 35" tires on my JT to be able to reprogram in the different tire size, so I can download this feature onto the Mini?
I answer some more questions in the Part 2 of this video. But yes, you need to leave it plugged in for the feature to work: th-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/w-d-xo.html
James, what front bumper is on this Wrangler? I'm looking for an aftermarket small bumper but I don't want a winch mounted all of the time. Thanks for your time
I stop at a red light and the auto start ingage turn off my jeep when it turned green I drove and vihicle braked at the middle of the intersection it ask me for the pin again I had a lot of traffic stop almost got rear ended.
But what if the hijacker just takes the device out of the socket? Or after entering the pin code, the device can (or should) be obtained? You didn’t say anything about this ... Then he will just sit down and go ...
Because its a live setting and requires tazer to be plugged in to obd2, thief just unplug tazer first before they steal your 392. :) plus on 2018+ jeep vehicles don't you need an obd2 security bypass in order to use tazer?

Z automotive has a security box that you can install on your tazer little more secure than just zip ties.

I like the GHOST II
Cant start it without the code just like the phone.
Nice! I love that Joe and the guys are constantly giving us new goodies 🤘🏼
Yeah it’s awesome that they are always adding new updates.

Cool video and a cool feature. You should see if there's a setting on the Tazer JL to delete the words "go ahead and..." from your future videos as they are 100% unnecessary.

I believe Z Auto gives you the option to upgrade yours to a Mini by downloading an update.
As with all things programmable I imagine a really good thief with a laptop would be able to somehow over ride this?
Thanks for sharing.
What happens in these same situations if you're doors are all off? Thanks.
wouldnt they just need to remove the module from the obd2 port? to bypoass?
I address a few more of these questions in the part 2 video: th-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/w-d-xo.html
Noticed you have Killed the 3 Horn Honk 😅
Had to get rid of that right away, and been running in Force 2wd for the last couple weeks!
How to stop 100% the traction control system??
Have to be plug in all the time?
So I'm guessing the Z Automotive Tazer has to be in your OBD II at all times for it to work right? once it's programmed can you remove the Z tazer?
I answer some more questions in the Part 2 of this video. But yes, you need to leave it plugged in for the feature to work:
th-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/w-d-xo.html

Um...maybe open the garage door with when running your engine?
What happens when you remote start?

What about remote start will it work
Just to clarify…you did say this works on the taser mini..? Thanks
Yes, the mini but not the lite.
@@shockerracing thank you sir…very quick..!
What if they know what it is and remove it
Is it just me, but did you just start your vehicle and make this recording while the garage door was closed the whole time?
I appreciate so many peoples concern for my safety, but the garage door was opened about 2 feet.
Very helpful - thank you!
Did you make this video with your engine running in a closed garage? It looks like the garage door is closed?
What you can’t see off camera is that the garage door was opened a few feet.
Nice! Thanks 😊
Always glad to help
Full tank, range is 208 miles?
😂😂😂 yep, if I’m lucky
What if your doors are off ?
Or your using tube doors ?
I’m assuming you will still have to enter the code when you start it, but I have not tried it yet.
The carjacking protection requires sensing the doors opening/closing. It does not work if the doors are removed. I'm so disappointed.
James, what front bumper is on this Wrangler? I'm looking for an aftermarket small bumper but I don't want a winch mounted all of the time. Thanks for your time
That’s the factory steel bumper.
@@shockerracing was that smaller bumper an option, mine is full length
@@autohog the factory bumper allows you to remove the ends to make it a “stubby” bumper.
What if the car jackets realize that you have a tazer installed and unplug it what will happen will the Jeep still have those functions?
I answer more questions in part 2, but unplugging it disables the pin lock: th-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/w-d-xo.html
Does the Tazer remain plugged in at all times? What happends if a thief breaks in and pulls out the Tazer Pin Lock?
I did a part 2 video that answers more questions here: th-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Zi2NIWuI87eO0PSt
Great video, do you no if it’s work with a 4xe ?
They claim it works, it just acts a bit differently in the way it functions.
What would happen if they just pulled that device out of the ob???
It would disable the pin lock. I answer a lot of the questions in part 2 here: th-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LbuMR2eBtlc4ylXY
Does pin still work if tazer is removed?
No it does not. Check out our part 2 video, we answered more questions: th-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=u3nchEDlplFfpqMs
So what happens when you go wheeling and get out of your jeep to help someone and your key fob is in your pocket ?
You will have to enter the code again when you get back in. Or just turn the code off while wheeling.
you can either re-enter the code, or just disable the code for the trip, but never know how many car thieves are lurking around the trails
Once activated I guess you can't valet park it, right?
You would either want to turn it off or show the valet how to do it.
No way I’m letting a valet go joy-ride the 392 😆
Did you have your garage door closed?
It was partially opened
I stop at a red light and the auto start ingage turn off my jeep when it turned green I drove and vihicle braked at the middle of the intersection it ask me for the pin again I had a lot of traffic stop almost got rear ended.
Yikes! That’s scary, you might want to let Z Automotive know what happened.
Hah, was thinking of when my arrives using that password, then watched your video to check it all out. Guess I aint using that now :D
😂😂😂
What happens if they grab the tazer and toss it out the window, well this feature still work or is it strictly tied into your tazer??
We answered a few more questions in our part 2 video, but yes, if they remove the Tazer it disables the pin: th-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/w-d-xo.html
so did you leave the Tazer installed? I am not sure if I need to leave my Tazer in or not. (22 Gladiator Mojave)
Yes, it needs to remain plugged in.
Does it work on the razer mini if updated online?
You would have to pay for the update to make your mini a Tazer Lite.
But what if the hijacker just takes the device out of the socket? Or after entering the pin code, the device can (or should) be obtained? You didn’t say anything about this ... Then he will just sit down and go ...
We answer some more of the questions in the part 2 of this video: th-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/w-d-xo.html
@@shockerracing Thanks a lot!
can you remote start still?
Yes, and we cover some additional questions in the part 2 of this video:
th-cam.com/video/P0QyurMxP3Q/w-d-xo.html
Does Pin Lock work on a JL with manual transmission?
That’s another great question, I wonder if it will engage the brakes when the vehicle is shifted in to gear?
does the tazer unit stay in the port ?
The original Tazer JL did, the newer Tazer Mini plugs in behind the OBD port
Does it work with the taxer mini?
Yes, Tazer Mini works. The Tazer Lite would need to be upgraded.
Why are you doing this in a closed garage?
Garage was opened about 2-3ft and the Jeep was only running for short periods at a time.
I Use Ravelco......after 46 years and 6 million installs, they have never, ever had a legitime claim filed with a vehicle stolen.
B A B A START 😂

Contra
Haha, I was wondering how many people would get it!
Does the Jeep get 30 lives now?😁
😂😂😂 yes!!!
Does the tazer have to be unmarried first?
Nope, just unplug it and plug in to your computer to update. Then plug it back in.
Because its a live setting and requires tazer to be plugged in to obd2, thief just unplug tazer first before they steal your 392. :) plus on 2018+ jeep vehicles don't you need an obd2 security bypass in order to use tazer?
On the jl and ram its built into the unit but yes, unplug it and your vehicle is gone
Anybody else notice him start his jeep with the garage door closed?
Thanks for your concern but the doors were opened, just not all the way. It’s cold in chicago
Can't they just pull that out?
