Haha had a fun time getting it inspected. I realized as I got in to go there that I would have to shut off the PIN Lock first. No problem, there's usually a bit of a wait. Well, I guess very few others wanted to spend their Friday before Christmas at the DMV so I got right in. I tried to explain to the person about the code and not surprisingly they weren't overly happy. Their ire was then shifted to the person behind me in a commercial vehicle who needed to go to the commercial lanes instead. While they were dealing with that I tried to go through the disable process but couldn't remember offhand how to get into the menu to begin with. When they came back they told me to just leave the car running which I did. Moments later all the lights are flashing and it turns out I forgot to take the key fob out and still had it in my pocket. So I had to go back to the car, give them the fob, and reach through the window to enter the code. Despite all that, I did pass 😀
Yes but the next firmware version will have some added features. My last inspection I got a 20 minute lecture from the tech about how I shouldn’t keep my insurance cards connected. (2 cards on 1 page). 😂😂😂
Well, it could be worse 😂 we could be in the same boat as all the KIAs where you can use an iPhone charger to start the car and there is a TikTok challenge to steal them.

What happens when you remote start your car? Does the countdown w/flashers start when remote started, when a door is opened, when the Start button is pressed, or when?
With any security device the install should be hidden not just plugged into the OEM location. But if you just plug it in they have added accelerator disable where the accelerator remains disabled even when the Tazer is removed. You need to reinstall the Tazer and enter the PIN to enable.
@@WorkPlayDrive ANY car thief who knows or assumes u have a Taser up under there isnt gonna stop them cause u tucked the wires up under the dash they will just reach up there and find it. This needs the double bypass like the Challenger has so it can be hidden in the trunk. Why is that not offered for the Trackhawk?
This is awesome, and something Dodge should have come out with years ago. IGLA System works in the same fashion, using a 6-20 push (pin) code setting. Without the correct pin code the thief will not have access to the vehicle's control system, rendering the vehicle completely locked. Thieves will not be able to program new key fobs either. In fact, neither will the dealerships. Only downside to this system is you would have to tow the vehicle back to the installer and he will have to do a reset for you, which will probably cost more money. I'm guessing the higher pin code setting you have, the greater probability there is of forgetting the code. Install price for IGLA System is $1500.00 Also comes with a drone (real time) tracking system. Carjacking function works the same as Z taser's, but you will have to disable the vehicle off of your phone (app) once the vehicle comes to a complete stop. I'm guessing dodge's new ev's will not allow any third party functions to work with the vehicle, strong arming customers to pay top dollar for modofications 😠 As always, excellent info and video. I'll keep an eye out for the upgrade from Z Automotive.
So... what happens if there is a car jacking scenario... and said car jackers pull off.... 30 secs later the shut down occurs..... and lets assume they are aware that this happened due to a tazer device.... so whats stopping them from getting under the dash and unplugging the tazer security module? will the lock out still be in effect? or will that disable the tazer security features and allow them to keep going?
Nothing is stopping them, except time. All the lights are flashing and soon they will add a horn alert option to draw more attention. they will need to find where I hid it and cut out all the Zip ties and Tessa tape I used to secure it up in my dashboard. 😏
You can also get the double bypass harness (which is required for 2018+ models) and install the tazer in the trunk. Time is everything to these people, it's not about stopping them but making it take too long for their comfort.
The horn is now an option to enable in the lates firmware and it’s annoying 👍 they went with random long and short beeps. It definitely gets people looking when I forget .

This is a potential flaw. Most of us have our keys in our pocket. The problem comes is if a woman is driving and she has her keys in her purse. If she’s able to grab her purse, cool then the car will lock out. But what about if she’s not able to grab her purse in the moment of being car jacked. Now the thieves have the car, keys and a purse.
Could one use buttons other than steering wheel buttons?, so lets say for my case 2023 durango hellcat could i do a combination of cruise control and lets say hvac buttons?
I saw this was asked but just wanted more clarification. 6MT once the start button is pressed and Challenger is started the countdown starts. The thief can put in gear at this point and start driving but when the brake pedal is pressed it locks up the brakes? But not till the brake is pressed? That should happen when the clutch is pressed! Also I heard the remote start is bricking auto challengers and chargers.. had this been fixed?
As soon as you try to put the car in gear it locks instantly and with the new update it disables the gas pedal. With the manual it locks when you hit the brakes. I’m not sure 🤔 of the issue but they released an update you may want to check the groups for that one.
Great video..... definitely hope they can eventually come up with a auto shut down if the tazer is removed..... also kinda cringed when I seen you put the way to disable the code..... most thrives are right inside our Mopar community...... take that part out bro
Sure but sitting in the vehicle for 10 minutes while the horn is beeping and the lights are flashing makes it much more difficult (new functionality added with the latest release.)
My link brings you to the site where you can purchase one. When you receive it that same site will have a firmware upgrade for the latest version. Firmware and feature updates have always been free. I get the same features on the Tazer I got in 2015 as I do on the one I picked up this year.
Hey man, quick question. What will happen if thief unplug the tazer. Are they going able to take the truck? I'm they are already know about these stuff.
Hi...not exactly on topic but I remember that you had a video where you mentioned the name of the cloth tape used on wiring. I'll never be able to find the vid...if you get the time can you tell me what the tape is called. Thanks
@@WorkPlayDrive No worries! I got another one! It’s good you’re making these videos on how to protect your mopar from being stolen. Very helpful stuff! I didn’t think it can happen to, until they took it from me. I installed IGLA, it’s a PIN code as well, but it doesn’t let you start the car until you entered the PIN code.
So curious I have a 15 hellcat challenger and if I use the obd2 connector instead of the trunk for security does it always have to be plugged in or do I plug it in and load it to the car and take it back out don’t know but I’m thinking it may be in the way if it has to stay plugged in
For this function of work, it always has to be plugged in. You can grab a OBD two right angle cable to tuck it up in the dashboard. 👉 amzn.to/4000MQR But keeping it in the trunk hidden is the best bet for security purposes
I think the horn honk would be awesome but only if they tried to drive the car off without the pin if that's possible. That way you don't look like a bozo with the horn going off while trying to unlock your car.
The fob Has to be out of the vehicle. But if enough people reach out to them with concerns, you might be able to have them at an option to disable upon opening driver door.
@@WorkPlayDrive if i disable pin can i set a timer to reenable after certain time. i say this cause a local guy took his Demon to dealer for service and it got stolen from there
@@WorkPlayDrive got installed been playing with, i have a 2019 dodge charger daytona 392, couldn’t get shift light to show up, windows roll down but not up and haven’t successfully got light show to start frpm remote, Main thing i got for was pin code the thefts are crazy and i don’t like being scared to go places in my car and living my life, makes me feel little better
Have you checked out my video on the shift light? After you turn it on in the taser, that adds an option to the performance menu. you need to go into the performance menu and turn it on there.
I just bought the Carlock device and the power cable to hide it inside the trunk of my 2022 Dodge Charger GT. I know you have a vid where you installed it in the trunk of your Challenger. Can you tell me what fuse you tapped into? Or did you just add an inline fuse? and if so, what amp fuse did you use?
CarLock would work with a 5 amp fuse. In the challenger I used the ZAutomotive taser double bypass. The CarLock only needs the power and ground which I show in this video. th-cam.com/video/1cESLOCkgbY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-7gwO49HjoVsfjhk
Thanks. Your vids are very well done and will no doubt be very useful in assisting me with my installs this weekend. I went on a bit of an upgrade spree and ordered the Carlock, Tazer with the Double By-pass and the Aux buttons, and the Hupejos V8 Plus 4 channel dashcam with the Radar Detection kit. Everything arrives by this Saturday so a I'm looking forward to the installs this weekend. Carlock customer support stated the device included an internal fuse so no inline fuse was necessary and that the power cable adapter could be wired directly to the positive and negative battery terminals. Do you see any issues with me doing that?
You need to have one taser for each vehicle. Unless you only drive one at a time and are willing to switch the tazer back-and-forth between the vehicles when you need access to the features.
This locks the brakes and the latest update will disable the accelerator as well. You can turn it off and on as much as you want. You’re not going anywhere.
Someone on another video made a comment that when the start stop system engages, you have to re-enter the code every time - is this true? They mentioned to avoid this they have to disengage the start stop every time…. If this is true this isn’t feasible for 4XE owners because the car start/stops regularly.
They are aware of the start stop bug and are working on a solution For now as a work around You can disable the start stop function with a taser, and it will remember it each time you start the vehicle.
Is it possible to fully disable the lock?? I bought one n didn’t know abt the lock n went to drive n it locked my trans from going into gear. Fixed it haven’t used since, tryna figure out is possible to keep it fully off ??? Helllpppp!!😂
For some features you can program and remove. For the love items, the Tazer needs to be plugged in for all the features in the “live menu” to function. Review the online manual for more details
Do you know when the challenger update comes out? I updated and checked but I don’t have the live setting on my tazer so I guess it’s not out yet. Do u know ?
Haven't seen anyone ask yet if/how this works on a manual. I have a 2021 widebody scat with the 6 speed. Seeing as there's obviously no "switch to drive" (PRND), under what scenario do the brakes lock up? Simply trying to release the clutch in first prior to inputting the pin? This would obviously force a stall; so then what happens in the Tazer's brain when the Challenger stalls? Looking to buy one of these and just curious. Appreciate the video Mike!
The Tazer will keep your car from moving if someone wants to steal it (without a tow rig) and has a higher up front cost. The CarLock will tell you when your car is being tampered with and also tell you it’s real-time location. It has a low upfront cost but has a monthly service fee. It depends on what’s important to you. If I could have only 1 the CarLock is the direction I would go. I love the silent tracking, driving alerts, driving logs etc.
When i set pin it would only say cruise off or on but never pin set so i sent it back..i contacted u on fb…i want to order again but only if i can use pin lock..is it still in beta? No matter how many times i set pin it would never save it would only take me to cruise on or off
This feature is no longer in beta. It’s actually a released firmware. If you’re having issues, I would reach out to Zautomotive support for some more help
Yes, it needs to be plugged in. And if you’re using it for antitheft, it’s recommended to hide the taser using either the extension cable or the double bypass for the challenger models.
Do you have to leave the Tazer hooked up to the car in order to utilize these new features? I have an OLD Tazer, (circa 2017) and I set the track options and screens and such that I liked, then I set the car to it and took it out to leave at home. The car still maintains the features I enabled with the Tazer though, will it work that way now or does it need to be hooked to the OBD2 to work (like with the line lock feature)? I HATE leaving anything hooked up, especially to the obvious OBD2 port, maybe Z automotive can work on that if that is the case?
The Tazer needs to be connected for these live features to work. If you’re worried about having it in the OBD port check out their double bypass. th-cam.com/video/1cESLOCkgbY/w-d-xo.html
@@WorkPlayDrive you're the only person who ever helps with this thing so I appreciate it. I got the bypass and attempted to download the ZPU onto my pc (this pc never had it before) and I can NOT get it to even run or open, so I can't update my Tazer to use the bypass I just bought. I keep getting a pop up saying "an ap on your pc needs the following windows feature" then it lists nothing and won't highlight the option to "install feature" as none it there .. how am I supposed to make this work. I absolutely HATE these new updated programs, the old ZPU worked on my old pc just fine.. why won't this one work on my new one?
@@WorkPlayDrive I was able to get in contact with z automotive, thankfully I was able to update on another pc. Unfortunately this will forever be a problem going forward unless they make a fix on their end, apparently you must have an activated windows account, which is complete BS with today's windows OS and their TRASH subscription accounts
@@WorkPlayDrive thanks ! I have that original tazer for years now ! I am not tech savvy at all i have never ever done an update on that tazer so I am wondering if I do not need to do any previous updates and can go straight into this update which gives me that security feature ! I am wondering if u can do one day a video on this original tazer upgrade and show on video how I do this update step by step based on a tazer which has never been updated Would be awesome
Dang it! I will need to buy another Tazer again haha. I have a Redeye and hate walking away from it in some areas. Your son is growing like a weed since your older Challenger videos.
Is there any way to make this work on a 2018 Ram or are you guys looking into it at all? Just got Tazer Ram and looking for the extra security features like the video above. Great video and features for sure but hopefully this can be set up for my truck in the future if not already. Thanks and FYI found you on TikTok and you have opened my truck to new options I never knew was out there.
awesome. They are perfecting the Tazer and the DT but the older models require different development. Then best way is to follow zAutomotive to track their updates.
You can change the tazer from one vehicle to another. You just can’t use it on multiple vehicles at the same. So any features that you were using need to be disabled. The taser needs to be unmarried, and then you can use it on another vehicle.
What vehicle? If it’s a challenger or charger the double bypass is needed. For the ram it just plugs in as shown in the video. No additional items needed
Thank you. Airport rerouted traffic over my neighborhood, I can’t got more than 90 seconds without a plane interrupting. Now I just crank music and enjoy the install then I simplify and narrate afterwards.
This will stop most attempts. I can think of a few ways around this. More effective route is intercepting the positive wire to the fuel pump, insert a relay, then hide the relay switch somewhere. No fuel, no moving.
Cutoff relay is always a solid plan, but some people way want an easier DIY option. I’m working with their new firmware and it disables the accelerator pedal while beeping the horn as well.
Thank you for the informative video! Not sure if it is a coding error or not but I found that when I press my stereo mute button twice it turns on my backup camera?? Did not see this as a feature so might be a coding error. I have also found since the install of my Jeep JLU 2021 Wrangler Rubicon Tazer JL Mini that at times when I use my door handle button to lock the vehicle sometimes everything does not shut down (Dash, shifter gear lights and??) that it drains my battery overnight. Has happened 3 times since the install of the Tazer JL Mini. Just an FYI if you talk with them.
My recommendation is to contact support. There might be something different about your specific Jeep that needs to be coded. There should be an option to turn off the mute button function I can’t see the manual at the moment. but it should be in there
Being a live setting, pulling the tazer out would make it useless right? All the more reason to add the double bypass in the trunk even if you don't need it and hide the tazer!
The horn has already been added to the latest release and they also added the ability to disable the accelerator, which stays disabled even if someone locates and removes the Tazer. Check out their website for the features available for the 2500 💪
I'd like to know more bro because in phoenix, AZ they stealing all Mopar cars like crazy! How do I get this product and where do I find it at??? Please let me know
just bought the tazer dt, trying to update but keep getting this message: A driver can't load on this device Security Windows 10 You are receiving this message because the Memory integrity setting in Windows Security is preventing a driver from loading on your device. i also cant get by the "device not found" message despite being plugged in via USB
You probably should ask them directly but considering the Burn box is the lower cost feature lite alternative. I’m assuming you have to buy the full featured taser to get this option.
Can a would be thief just reach under the dash and remove the Tazer module and then carry on with the theft? This assumes of course that they have gained entry by any of the various means thieves use to do so.
Good point, or if it's in a purse and you are forced to leave the vehicle without it. In this version the Key needs to leave the vehicle, but they have made quite a few adjustment and are making more soon like the option to have the Horn beep along with the lightshow. I'll bring this up and see if they are interested in having an on/off option to trigger with just the driver door opening.
@@WorkPlayDrive I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and there is quite a bit of crime and Mopars are stolen probably hourly. I have a CCP but that does not mean I may never be a victim. I have the Ravelco installed on my Scatpack which gives me some comfort that my car will still be where I parked it but, if someone wants it bad enough they will do whatever necessary to have it.
Hopefully the key is in your pocket (though I may add a selectable option that triggers it whenever the door is opened). A 20 second timer starts, allowing them to get away. Whenever it is that they slow down, then it locks up and puts on the light show… assuming they’re on the run, they’ll ditch the car and get another. On chargers and challengers install a Double Bypass cable and hide the Tazer in the trunk.
Just an update: I updated the tazer and put this into my 2019 Scat. Works flawlessly. Thank you for the heads up on this!
Does yours still accelerate a little then brake and reverse still works?
On mine it does brake but still let’s the car drive but brakes every 3 secs and reverse works still
But it doesn’t matter because the video shows you how to get around the tazer and steal your car just takes them 10 extra minutes
Absolutely should have the horn blowing like crazy. The lights are good but the horn brings attention to it.

If she’s able to grab her purse, cool then the car will lock out. But what about if she’s not able to grab her purse in the moment of being car jacked. Now the thieves have the car, keys and a purse.
Could one use buttons other than steering wheel buttons?, so lets say for my case 2023 durango hellcat could i do a combination of cruise control and lets say hvac buttons?
Is the pin lock a live setting ? Or we can actually remove the tazer and it will still work ?
I saw this was asked but just wanted more clarification.
6MT once the start button is pressed and Challenger is started the countdown starts. The thief can put in gear at this point and start driving but when the brake pedal is pressed it locks up the brakes? But not till the brake is pressed? That should happen when the clutch is pressed!
Also I heard the remote start is bricking auto challengers and chargers.. had this been fixed?
As soon as you try to put the car in gear it locks instantly and with the new update it disables the gas pedal. With the manual it locks when you hit the brakes.
I’m not sure 🤔 of the issue but they released an update you may want to check the groups for that one.
This feature alone is worth the price of the Tazer and bypass. For more pin code options I would suggest getting the Stealth Aux buttons!
Great video..... definitely hope they can eventually come up with a auto shut down if the tazer is removed..... also kinda cringed when I seen you put the way to disable the code..... most thrives are right inside our Mopar community...... take that part out bro
The best part about zAutomotive is they are always improving based on feedback.
Give it a few weeks and they will make it even better
"wait ten mins" what a deal breaker since thieves see this too!
should be a reset code sent to the registered owners phone
Sure but sitting in the vehicle for 10 minutes while the horn is beeping and the lights are flashing makes it much more difficult (new functionality added with the latest release.)
@@WorkPlayDrive does your link bring me to the newest version? id like to buy one. thanks.
My link brings you to the site where you can purchase one. When you receive it that same site will have a firmware upgrade for the latest version. Firmware and feature updates have always been free.
I get the same features on the Tazer I got in 2015 as I do on the one I picked up this year.
Question: Does it lock the manual parking brake or the foot pedal wheel brakes?
It applies the front brakes using the mater cylinder it does not use the parking brake
That's cool..my semi truck has the same thing takes a code to unlock the ignition
Thanks bro! Waiting on the Challenger model.
No need to wait bit.ly/TazerWPD the firmware for the challenger model is already released.
Hey man, quick question. What will happen if thief unplug the tazer. Are they going able to take the truck? I'm they are already know about these stuff.
Awesome! Looking forward to the Challenger update
Cliff 🙌👋
when will it be out? any clue?
Hi Mike. Great video. Just picked up a 2023 Ram. Any idea when this will be compatible with new Rams?
You can email them directly I’m sure if it’s not already working they’re actively working on it.
Hi...not exactly on topic but I remember that you had a video where you mentioned the name of the cloth tape used on wiring. I'll never be able to find the vid...if you get the time can you tell me what the tape is called. Thanks
It goes by a few names but “Tesa tape” is how I find it amzn.to/3OZ35Av
@@WorkPlayDrive Thank you.
That video at the very beginning, it is how my Hellcat was stolen 😂
Sorry 🥲
@@WorkPlayDrive No worries! I got another one! It’s good you’re making these videos on how to protect your mopar from being stolen. Very helpful stuff! I didn’t think it can happen to, until they took it from me. I installed IGLA, it’s a PIN code as well, but it doesn’t let you start the car until you entered the PIN code.
Hello Mike, first of all great videos. Now my question is there a Tazr option for the 2012 Dodge Challenger?
Thank you, The Tazer supports 2011-2023 Dodge Charger 💪
@@WorkPlayDrive Thank you so very much.
@@WorkPlayDrive Just wish it would support the 2012 Dodge Challenger RT
Will this work on the taser for the 2015 dodge challenger SCATPACK model ?
Yes it will 👍
So curious I have a 15 hellcat challenger and if I use the obd2 connector instead of the trunk for security does it always have to be plugged in or do I plug it in and load it to the car and take it back out don’t know but I’m thinking it may be in the way if it has to stay plugged in
For this function of work, it always has to be plugged in. You can grab a OBD two right angle cable to tuck it up in the dashboard.
👉 amzn.to/4000MQR
But keeping it in the trunk hidden is the best bet for security purposes
So this is an update to the Tazer itself or another add on device?
This is an upgrade to your existing Tazer. Even works on the Tazer I purchased back in 2016
@@WorkPlayDrive Awesome!
👍🏻 well made video, as always
Sorry about all that extra work on a Sunday night with you keeping up on all those comments ☺️
I think the horn honk would be awesome but only if they tried to drive the car off without the pin if that's possible. That way you don't look like a bozo with the horn going off while trying to unlock your car.
@@DextarRogue or just put the pin in before the countdown runs out 😅
@@zautomotive I guess! :D
They’re making it something we can enable/disable so we can do what works best for us.
Does carjack mode work if you get pulled out of car & the fob remains with vehicle??
The fob Has to be out of the vehicle. But if enough people reach out to them with concerns, you might be able to have them at an option to disable upon opening driver door.
Finally I see a reason to get one. Thanks for sharing
You bet
question what about when you take your vehicle for service or detail, or state inspection
You can easily disable to pin from the menu while the car is running takes about 10 seconds. See 9:13 👍
@@WorkPlayDrive if i disable pin can i set a timer to reenable after certain time. i say this cause a local guy took his Demon to dealer for service and it got stolen from there
It’s a simple on/off manual process no timer. It’s a good point, but the best recommendation is to remove the Tazer when in for service.
@@WorkPlayDrive got installed been playing with, i have a 2019 dodge charger daytona 392, couldn’t get shift light to show up, windows roll down but not up and haven’t successfully got light show to start frpm remote, Main thing i got for was pin code the thefts are crazy and i don’t like being scared to go places in my car and living my life, makes me feel little better
Have you checked out my video on the shift light? After you turn it on in the taser, that adds an option to the performance menu. you need to go into the performance menu and turn it on there.
I just bought the Carlock device and the power cable to hide it inside the trunk of my 2022 Dodge Charger GT. I know you have a vid where you installed it in the trunk of your Challenger. Can you tell me what fuse you tapped into? Or did you just add an inline fuse? and if so, what amp fuse did you use?
CarLock would work with a 5 amp fuse. In the challenger I used the ZAutomotive taser double bypass. The CarLock only needs the power and ground which I show in this video.
th-cam.com/video/1cESLOCkgbY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-7gwO49HjoVsfjhk
Thanks. Your vids are very well done and will no doubt be very useful in assisting me with my installs this weekend. I went on a bit of an upgrade spree and ordered the Carlock, Tazer with the Double By-pass and the Aux buttons, and the Hupejos V8 Plus 4 channel dashcam with the Radar Detection kit. Everything arrives by this Saturday so a I'm looking forward to the installs this weekend.
Carlock customer support stated the device included an internal fuse so no inline fuse was necessary and that the power cable adapter could be wired directly to the positive and negative battery terminals.
Do you see any issues with me doing that?
Mike you are the man we all appreciate what you do for us thanks brother!!😁😎
Glad to help 💪
What if I own 2 jeep wrangler JL’s - do I have to buy 2 of them or can I use the one Tazer I purchased for both of my vehicles ?????
You need to have one taser for each vehicle. Unless you only drive one at a time and are willing to switch the tazer back-and-forth between the vehicles when you need access to the features.
I am guessing this does not lock the vehicle out of neutral? So they could turn it off then back on shift to N then roll it off?
This locks the brakes and the latest update will disable the accelerator as well. You can turn it off and on as much as you want. You’re not going anywhere.
Best video on line. Thanks!!
Thank you 🙏
Someone on another video made a comment that when the start stop system engages, you have to re-enter the code every time - is this true? They mentioned to avoid this they have to disengage the start stop every time…. If this is true this isn’t feasible for 4XE owners because the car start/stops regularly.
They are aware of the start stop bug and are working on a solution
For now as a work around You can disable the start stop function with a taser, and it will remember it each time you start the vehicle.
Is it possible to fully disable the lock?? I bought one n didn’t know abt the lock n went to drive n it locked my trans from going into gear. Fixed it haven’t used since, tryna figure out is possible to keep it fully off ??? Helllpppp!!😂
In the video I show how to remove the pin at 9:13
I have the product but don’t see how to install the pin option? It’s just not there
If you have an older Tazer you just need to upgrade the firmware to the latest version to add the PIN feature.
Dies the tazer always have to be plugged in after programming what u need?
For some features you can program and remove. For the love items, the Tazer needs to be plugged in for all the features in the “live menu” to function.
Review the online manual for more details
Thinking about buying one for my 2015 hellcat.
Do you know when the challenger update comes out? I updated and checked but I don’t have the live setting on my tazer so I guess it’s not out yet. Do u know ?
It’s out you need to follow the instructions on how to update your Tazer in this video. Once you update it the features become available.
This is one awesome feature! Thanks for the info!!!
💪
Hi Mike, thanks for the video. Can I use it on my lexus RX 350 2022? Please let me know as the thieves already attempted to steal it. Much appreciated
Sorry this product is made for dodge, jeep and ram.
Haven't seen anyone ask yet if/how this works on a manual. I have a 2021 widebody scat with the 6 speed.
Seeing as there's obviously no "switch to drive" (PRND), under what scenario do the brakes lock up?
Simply trying to release the clutch in first prior to inputting the pin? This would obviously force a stall; so then what happens in the Tazer's brain when the Challenger stalls?
Looking to buy one of these and just curious.
Appreciate the video Mike!
Thank you, with a manual it triggers when you hit the brake. 👍
Will this work on a sierra they are stealing them in my home town they are all over them including silverados?
The Tazer only works with Ram, Jeep and Dodge vehicles.
You have done segments for Tazer and Car Lock, so I have to ask , if someone can only afford one, which one would suggest?
The Tazer will keep your car from moving if someone wants to steal it (without a tow rig) and has a higher up front cost.
The CarLock will tell you when your car is being tampered with and also tell you it’s real-time location. It has a low upfront cost but has a monthly service fee.
It depends on what’s important to you. If I could have only 1 the CarLock is the direction I would go. I love the silent tracking, driving alerts, driving logs etc.
So I have a 2016 scat pack charger. Do you think that’s applicable?
When i set pin it would only say cruise off or on but never pin set so i sent it back..i contacted u on fb…i want to order again but only if i can use pin lock..is it still in beta? No matter how many times i set pin it would never save it would only take me to cruise on or off
This feature is no longer in beta. It’s actually a released firmware.
If you’re having issues, I would reach out to Zautomotive support for some more help
Honestly this is cool. I wonder if it’s possible for the Tazer to be made to utilize the engine immobilizer and/or kill the engine if necessary.
Does the unit have to be plugged in for the PIN and carjacking functions to work? (If someone disconnects the unit)?
Yes, it needs to be plugged in. And if you’re using it for antitheft, it’s recommended to hide the taser using either the extension cable or the double bypass for the challenger models.
Do you have to leave the Tazer hooked up to the car in order to utilize these new features? I have an OLD Tazer, (circa 2017) and I set the track options and screens and such that I liked, then I set the car to it and took it out to leave at home. The car still maintains the features I enabled with the Tazer though, will it work that way now or does it need to be hooked to the OBD2 to work (like with the line lock feature)? I HATE leaving anything hooked up, especially to the obvious OBD2 port, maybe Z automotive can work on that if that is the case?
The Tazer needs to be connected for these live features to work. If you’re worried about having it in the OBD port check out their double bypass. th-cam.com/video/1cESLOCkgbY/w-d-xo.html
@@WorkPlayDrive you're the only person who ever helps with this thing so I appreciate it. I got the bypass and attempted to download the ZPU onto my pc (this pc never had it before) and I can NOT get it to even run or open, so I can't update my Tazer to use the bypass I just bought. I keep getting a pop up saying "an ap on your pc needs the following windows feature" then it lists nothing and won't highlight the option to "install feature" as none it there .. how am I supposed to make this work. I absolutely HATE these new updated programs, the old ZPU worked on my old pc just fine.. why won't this one work on my new one?
Do you have access to a other computer? Perhaps there is something wrong or outdated on your PC?
@@WorkPlayDrive I was able to get in contact with z automotive, thankfully I was able to update on another pc. Unfortunately this will forever be a problem going forward unless they make a fix on their end, apparently you must have an activated windows account, which is complete BS with today's windows OS and their TRASH subscription accounts
Which Tazer do I purchase for a 2019 Challenger hellcat? I see several types on the website. TIA!
Mike I have a tazer from years ago . Will that work for this function too or do I need to buy this new one for this
It will work on your older Tazer. I updated my Tazer from 2016 and have it running in a friends challenger for testing.
@@WorkPlayDrive thanks ! I have that original tazer for years now ! I am not tech savvy at all i have never ever done an update on that tazer so I am wondering if I do not need to do any previous updates and can go straight into this update which gives me that security feature ! I am wondering if u can do one day a video on this original tazer upgrade and show on video how I do this update step by step based on a tazer which has never been updated
Would be awesome
Dang it! I will need to buy another Tazer again haha.
I have a Redeye and hate walking away from it in some areas.
Your son is growing like a weed since your older Challenger videos.
Yeah, he’s growing up way too fast.
Is there any way to make this work on a 2018 Ram or are you guys looking into it at all? Just got Tazer Ram and looking for the extra security features like the video above. Great video and features for sure but hopefully this can be set up for my truck in the future if not already. Thanks and FYI found you on TikTok and you have opened my truck to new options I never knew was out there.
awesome. They are perfecting the Tazer and the DT but the older models require different development. Then best way is to follow zAutomotive to track their updates.
Will this update be available for the "DS" version of the RAM, using the appropriate Tazer ???
The Tazer Ram will be getting this update, but they don’t have a firm date on its release.
@@WorkPlayDrive thanks for the reply !!! That's good news !!!
Can you use 1 tazer to put this on multiple vehicles of yours or do you have to leave it plugged in and buy another tazer for another car?
You can change the tazer from one vehicle to another. You just can’t use it on multiple vehicles at the same. So any features that you were using need to be disabled. The taser needs to be unmarried, and then you can use it on another vehicle.
Does this connect the same way in a 2022 Hellcat? Or do I need to use the double bypass?
What vehicle? If it’s a challenger or charger the double bypass is needed. For the ram it just plugs in as shown in the video. No additional items needed
@@WorkPlayDrive its a Challenger
Thanks for another informative video!
Also, is it my imagination or are you doing a lot of voice over work on TH-cam of late? If so, congrats!
Thank you. Airport rerouted traffic over my neighborhood, I can’t got more than 90 seconds without a plane interrupting.
Now I just crank music and enjoy the install then I simplify and narrate afterwards.
So once the pin is set can I take the tazer off? Or does it have to stay plugged in for the pin to work?
This is a live feature controlled by the Tazer, the Tazer needs to be plugged in and preferably hidden.
Cool. I like this. Can you please tell them to fix the unamrry page on the website. I would greatly appreciate it.
So what happens if they remove the case. And plug it back into the original.
does it have to stay plugged in the obd?
It must be plugged in, but there are other locations, like for the charger and challenger you can use the double bypass to hide it in the trunk.
Will this work with a 2023 chrysler 300? The anti theft feature? You mentioned all the other brands
Would I still be able to use the remote start on my Jeep? Thanks
Yes, it doesn’t activate with remote start. It will activate the moment the vehicle is actually turned on.
This will stop most attempts. I can think of a few ways around this. More effective route is intercepting the positive wire to the fuel pump, insert a relay, then hide the relay switch somewhere. No fuel, no moving.
Cutoff relay is always a solid plan, but some people way want an easier DIY option.
I’m working with their new firmware and it disables the accelerator pedal while beeping the horn as well.
Will these work on 2015-2017 Dodge Challengers 🚘
Yes it works. 👍
When is it available for 2015 Scatpacks?
Very soon, I have the beta running on my old 2016 Tazer on a challenger. They just want to make sure all the tweaks are worked out.
Thank you for the informative video! Not sure if it is a coding error or not but I found that when I press my stereo mute button twice it turns on my backup camera?? Did not see this as a feature so might be a coding error. I have also found since the install of my Jeep JLU 2021 Wrangler Rubicon Tazer JL Mini that at times when I use my door handle button to lock the vehicle sometimes everything does not shut down (Dash, shifter gear lights and??) that it drains my battery overnight. Has happened 3 times since the install of the Tazer JL Mini. Just an FYI if you talk with them.
My recommendation is to contact support. There might be something different about your specific Jeep that needs to be coded.
There should be an option to turn off the mute button function I can’t see the manual at the moment. but it should be in there
Being a live setting, pulling the tazer out would make it useless right? All the more reason to add the double bypass in the trunk even if you don't need it and hide the tazer!
For now yes pulling the Tazer will disable which is why they recommend hiding it.
Horn honk would be 100% better, do they offer this for the RAM 2021 power wagon 2500?
The horn has already been added to the latest release and they also added the ability to disable the accelerator, which stays disabled even if someone locates and removes the Tazer.
Check out their website for the features available for the 2500 💪
I'd like to know more bro because in phoenix, AZ they stealing all Mopar cars like crazy! How do I get this product and where do I find it at??? Please let me know
I got links to everything in the description of this video. 👍
Is it simple process to clear the PIN when taking the vehicle for service?
Yes check this video 9 minutes 13 seconds.
just bought the tazer dt, trying to update but keep getting this message:
A driver can't load on this device
Security Windows 10
You are receiving this message because the Memory integrity setting in Windows Security is preventing a driver from loading on your device.
i also cant get by the "device not found" message despite being plugged in via USB
If you Google that error one of the first options that pops up is a support.microsoft.com article that helps you fix the problem.
Is there a valet mode?
Also posted this question on your Facebook page. Any idea whether this feature will come to the Burnboxes as well?
You probably should ask them directly but considering the Burn box is the lower cost feature lite alternative. I’m assuming you have to buy the full featured taser to get this option.
What if you have to have your car serviced. Is there a way to disable then re-enable the pin code?
Yep just watch the section at 9:13 on How to Clear the PIN. It takes less than a minute.
@@WorkPlayDrive Gotcha. Wasn't sure if there was going to be a enable/disable setting for the pin.
@@WorkPlayDrive if it's a live feature why not just unplug the Tazer if you leave it for service?
2017 charger coming soon?
Yep, very soon, I have the beta running on my Tazer in a Scat Pack.
Any idea when this will be a available for 22 scat packs?
They released the version for challengers and chargers a few weeks ago 👍
how do i set it on my charger rt 2017?
The instructions should be the same as long as you have the latest firmware installed on the Tazer
@@WorkPlayDrive i just recently bought it i shouldn’t have to download any update to it right? but i cant see any option for a pin in my menus
@timmcguire5022 you shouldn’t but check the version of you bought from a 3rd party you may have older firmware
Can a would be thief just reach under the dash and remove the Tazer module and then carry on with the theft? This assumes of course that they have gained entry by any of the various means thieves use to do so.
Question, if the carjacker takes your keyfob at gunpoint, this function will not activate, correct?
Good point, or if it's in a purse and you are forced to leave the vehicle without it.
In this version the Key needs to leave the vehicle, but they have made quite a few adjustment and are making more soon like the option to have the Horn beep along with the lightshow. I'll bring this up and see if they are interested in having an on/off option to trigger with just the driver door opening.
@@WorkPlayDrive thank you for the reply. Still a great deterrent if you retain the keyfob.
Hopefully you don’t live in an area where car jacking happens more often than driveway theft.
@@WorkPlayDrive I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and there is quite a bit of crime and Mopars are stolen probably hourly. I have a CCP but that does not mean I may never be a victim. I have the Ravelco installed on my Scatpack which gives me some comfort that my car will still be where I parked it but, if someone wants it bad enough they will do whatever necessary to have it.
Hopefully the key is in your pocket (though I may add a selectable option that triggers it whenever the door is opened). A 20 second timer starts, allowing them to get away. Whenever it is that they slow down, then it locks up and puts on the light show… assuming they’re on the run, they’ll ditch the car and get another.
On chargers and challengers install a Double Bypass cable and hide the Tazer in the trunk.
Hello this works with 2023 durango srt
What if the thief knows about this product and disconnects it and reconnects the default security module. Have they now defeated the system?
