I’ve had my Charger R/T stolen twice. The Tazer stopped it both times. They only got 10 feet down the road before they abandoned the car. Awesome device and I seriously suggest this for MOPAR vehicles.
This is amazing. I love how zautomotive continues to offer more features. I recently purchased an additional tazer for my Durango (currently have one on my challenger too ) specifically for the pin lock feature. You guys rock for protecting our beloved mopars!
Legit just watched the tazer save a guys challenger 392. Thieves broke in and the brakes locked it’s truly amazing listening to them try to figure out why the car won’t move 😂😂😂
Wow, this is pretty cool. I was going to get a tazer just to keep the car in sports mode as default, but now I'm DEFINITELY getting one for extra security. For context, someone tried to steal mine a year ago (and failed) but this would make me feel a lot safer with that key-specific killfob feature!
Bought a Tazer for my dodge charger r/t. They are big ticket cars in my area. The Tazer security gave me the ability to sleep at night without worry because that car isn’t going anywhere without the pin. I even reduced the pin so you have much less time to work it.
Great to hear it can give some peace of mind but remember that it is not a fool-proof security device, so be sure to take as many added precautions as necessary
Does pedal disable still work for those who have Pedal Commander or other drive by wire eliminators? Also, when adding the 2nd OBD2 port in the trunk, is it going to screw with the factory port when I go for emissions?
One recommendation i would love to see for a future update if possible is an option that automatically locks the car after a set period of time if the car is left unlocked with the keyfob out of the car. Having the option to choose between normal lock and pedal kill lock in this scenario would be great as well. To many times now adays you see people just accidentally leave their cars unlocked due to keeping their keys in their pockets and not even thinking about it.
damn you guys are great. I can't wait for this feature to go live. another reason for loving my tazer and zautomotive. 1000 percent better than what stalantis has never offered its customers. my Durango can now be safe
2:30 so you just skipped to where it is and i can’t find the option anywhere ? heard you have to update the taser , so could we see that too? or does anyone know how? does anyone know how to find the option for the pin ? this was one of my biggest hopes for this taser and i still yet to find it enable it .
Yes, the TaZer needs to be updated, and here's how: ruclips.net/video/mntTbwdrAgo/видео.htmlsi=h3saa-VkyiLzxA7N With the TaZer updated (latest firmware is 2.6.1), as soon as you select the TaZer Pin/Security menu it will ask you to set a pin. All details on page 15: zautomotive.com/zpu/instructions/TazerUserGuide260.pdf
What if you disable the pedal through the menu and leave the tazer in and someone finds it and rips it out and leaves with it, would the car be permanently disabled?
I'm considering getting one ever since my car got broken into about 2 weeks ago. But won't this void warranty? Or am I blending this in with your guys' tuner?
This is our tuner, this is the same device that has all those other features that you’ve probably heard about (Linelock, lightshow, performance pages on certain models, etc). It does not void warranty but it’s recommended to remove the device before taking it into service
@@zautomotive Ah, so its just plug and play, and the tuner itself kinda holds the info and feeds it to your car, in a way? Like a temp load for your cars computer and when its taken out, its not modified?
You mentioned if we valet the car or take it to a dealership we can use PIN Disable, does this mean we don't have to unmarry and unplug the device anymore when we take it for service?
That depends. It's always recommended to unmarry and remove the TaZer before any service work, but some people may have dealerships that know of the TaZer and may have a good working relationship with them. PIN Disable may be a useful option for those that have that working relationship with their dealer, although keeping the TaZer plugged in is not recommended for service work.
Use the kill by fob all the time and works pretty well. Tired the pin but had issues with it not taking and then my car going into lockdown so I'm glad that they added that feature (lets hope I dont run out of battery on the fob while I'm out 😅).
Did you ever fix your pin situation ? Even after inputting my pin and getting the Disabled prompt my alarm still goes off.. sucks. Had to turn pin off and use only FOB function
@@nbtextremes I did an update and it fixed it. When I use the FOB I don't have to put in the pin, but if I forget and just hop in (which happens from time to time) or manually lock the doors with the button, the pin has been working as advertised.
@ajperkins9363 I realized it was because I out the pin in with my door open during testing. It was taking the pin but disabling the system. I thought that was weird ..I closed the door, did same thing and it worked
Hey question - I’m have an rt and I did the trunk installation of the tazer. Everything works except my srt pages l. I still have default screen. I’ve did reboots and sleep cycles but the srt pages won’t come up
@@yvngbixxqikk8808 those are two different things. Killbyfob disables the gas pedal; pin brakes locks the brakes if/when Pin Lock is triggered and the vehicle is running
Why do my dash lights keep flashing even after I input my code. What am I doing wrong here : / Update: After input of code, it says code disabled but alarm still goes off..that horn is deafening, btw..plz Help
I just got the Tazer DT for my TRX recently, oddly enough I can still put my truck into gear and drive even without entering the pin. Also even know it's married the pin countdown does not pop up regardless of info screen and I can clear my PIN without having to confirm my old pin.
1. The Tazer Pin Lock does not stop the vehicle from going into gear, and you need to turn on the other features for something to actually happen (brakes locking up, horn going off, pedal going dead, etc) 2. The Tazer does not need to be married to the vehicle for Pin Lock to function; Pin Lock is a live feature 3. You can clear your pin without re-entering your pin. You’ve already entered your pin, that’s the only way to even get to the clear pin option
I picked one of these up recently and love the features. Just stumbled on this video, will I receive an email when updates are available for the Tazer?
After locking the car with the key fob, then coming back later and opening the car with the key fob you don't need to enter the code yes? Is there a certain amount of time that you have to start the car after using the fob? EX: I unlock the car with the fob, a friend calls me over to see something in his car. This takes a minute. If I get into my car, (don't forget I unlocked it) can I just start it without using the pin?
Yes, there is a certain amount of time before it will start asking for the pin again even if you unlocked it from the key fob. The time it takes for the vehicle to full go to sleep varies per vehicle. Once the vehicle goes to sleep, the TaZer will ask for the Pin the next time is is started
Is there a reason the pin menu doesnt pop up on my 2015 rt? It makes the hazards blink when i start the car but theres no notification so when i start unlocking the car, I'm never sure if my inputs were recognized. I'm wondering if my car is too old or if theres an update i should be doing to the tazer or uconnect. I'm on version 2.5.9-033023.
Question here. For the 2011-2014 cars with the 5 speed auto Will pinlock be able to tell if someone has pressed the shift lock button and activate the pin lock? It is much easier to do it on those cars with that transmission. Thanks!
Question.. what if I’m sleep or sitting down somewhere and someone takes my key fob and unlocks the car from the fob with killbyfob enabled.. they can just start the car and drive away since the pin will be bypassed?

@@RicoMang sounds like you might not if Pin Lock isn’t in there. Although the Tazer JL is different than the Pin Lock in the standard Tazer, scroll to the end of your Tazer menu in your EVIC screen and let me know what firmware you’re on. Also let me know if you see “Lt” on that screen
New to the mopar fam, my 2SS Camaro was stolen back in June. Before getting another one looked at options for security. IGLA was the only viable but expensive option. Heard about this and said why not? Got a 2019 392 wideboy. Added this and more air tags than the apple store and a kill switch lol! I sleep pretty well knowing a busted window is the biggest of my worries. They yanked my 6.2 outta my Camaro 😢😢😢 NEVER AGAIN!!!
I’m sorry to hear this. Our Tazer programmer is not a designated security device but a programmer with a few anti theft features for added layers of protection. Hate to hear when vehicles are stolen
@@zautomotive appreciate it! With other layers of security, it's a very useful tool to deter theft still. What you guys are doing for the community is nothing short of amazing! Glad I found this and no regrets!
I have a 2015 Challenger, i got update 2.5.9 and have loved it thus far but i got 2 things i would like more info on. Ever since updating to 2.5.9, now when i open my door with the engine on my car makes the chime sound and flashes "fob battery low" on the dash until i close the door. Not sure if that is a feature or a bug but im not a fan of it and am hoping there is a way to turn that off. My second question is regarding the new way pin lock acts. While overall i like it, i am a little concerned that 40 seconds is a bit to much time for a smart dodge car jacker to get the car on and moving before pin lock kicks in and even then it's still a matter of when the car slows down enough before the brakes actually lock up. I totally understand the car having to be slow enough before the brakes lock but my question is, is it possible to shorten the time from 40 seconds to say maybe 20 seconds or less before brake lock activates? Personally i would prefer 10 seconds but that's just me. If not i think this would be a great option to let us choose in the future and possibly consider shortening the time for by default. The Average theft time of a Challenger is 40 seconds but that includes the time it takes to get into the car and start it. Once thiefs start the vehicle they're pretty much gone within 10 seconds or less most of the time. In this regards i actually think the old pinlock method of locking the car on start-up was safer. That being said i do like the idea of having an initial delay (the new way pinlock is) but I think how long that delay is really should be customizable or give us the option to lock on startup like before. 40 seconds is just to long in my opinion. Sorry for the long comment just wanted to put my experience out there. Love your guy's products man you guys do incredible work, keep it coming💪
The "fob battery low" notification is warning you that Car-Jack Mode is going to activate if the key is removed from the car and then the car door closed. In 2.6.0, it will just flash the hazards and you will hear an audible tick You can add your concerns about the Pin Lock countdown here: www.zautomotive.com/suggestions/
I wish there were some younger guys to help us older guys get these installed and setup correctly. The Electronic Features have rocketed past the normal human technology skills, Thanks Nudels
@@zautomotive yes as I am 67, I have to watch this on my laptop inside my jeep and pause it continually, look at the jeep Components and figure out where they are at. I am fairly good on a computer and with new software, as I am an entry level trainer on software that we use at work at the engineering firm I work for. But I am not familiar with a Tazer, nor all the features on my Rubicon 392 Hemi, So my thought is to have your guy take and average guy my age, and hand the Tazer off and watch and detail all the struggles he makes to get it installed. I live just north of Houston, I would be more than happy to show somebody my struggles.

The killbyfob mode is enabled. If I don’t enable PIN Lock and I only enable on killbyfob if I only have that feature on. Does it disable gas pedal by default?
You don’t need to have any other PIN Lock settings enabled and can just have KillbyFob enabled, although a PIN needs to be set to access the PIN/Security submenu, which killbyfob is in
Hey brotha, I enabled the window up and down mode. I did a full reboot and 2 sleep cycle. I click unlock x6 times. It doesn’t work. I have 2023 Challenger Scat Pack
Enter the correct Pin or reference the “if you forgot your pin” section of the TaZer manual on page 14: zautomotive.com/zpu/instructions/TazerUserGuide259.pdf
No. Please refer to the “killbyfob best practices” section of the video. The vehicle is off, and the car is being locked by the lock button on the keyfob
@@zautomotive I was reading the manual and it stated that the car had to be on. It confused me and that’s why I was clarifying. I love all your videos. They are very easy to follow. Thank you very much.
Hello, is there a Tazer product for 2023 Dodge Durango R/T ? I saw on the website that it will not work with Uconnect 5? Will there be a future Tazer for newer Durango’s
@@zautomotive thanks for hitting back. I updated and loving the new features. Freaked me out at first forgot my pin😅 but everything ok now. Last thing. Does the window feature work on 4 door ?
Please, can anyone tell me if the tazer works for cars with the security key fob update installed? Asking bcz I can no longer get the COMPUSTAR alarm installed becuase I got key fob lockout update
Greetings , I am getting a wrangler. Great video how would I remove the need to plug in a taser in the front where it can be removed. Will this work with a taser min ?
These updated features are not yet available on the TaZer mini, just the base pin lock features where it locks up the brakes. You could always purchase out TaZer shield to help from the TaZer mini from being removed www.zautomotive.com/product/tazer-shield/
Is this update available? I’ve updated my taser with the latest version on my computer and I don’t see any of these features , the latest version on my computer shows 2.5.9
2.5.9 is the latest firmware. As mentioned in the description, it is still a beta firmware and will contain bugs, so please be aware of that. If you decide to download it, please report any bugs to customer support via email - support@zautotech.com
So if I use remote start, will that trigger the countdown for pin lock or only when I go from remote start to actually starting the car, will that trigger pin lock
@@mankamalchana4956 that’s awful. We have nothing in place that can stop that or being taken from by a tow truck. Even with pin lock, the vehicle can still be put into gear. Sorry the vehicle was taken
I just bought and updated my Tazer to the latest Uodate 2.5.9 Does this update include the windows up and down feature or do I have to download all the firmware individually?
If you’re concerned about that, we don’t recommend downloading the firmware at this time, as it is a beta version. If you have concerns, wait until it is tested a bit more and then download the firmware when it becomes available on our site
@@zautomotiveso is that y i couldnt set my pin… i tried over and over and it kept going to cruise on and off but not pin set.. i downloaded the update.. so idk what i did wrong
In your car jack mode, you take the keys out of the vehicle and place them outside. You get back in the car, try to drive away, then the car locks up after coming to a stop. You then enter the code, to unlock the vehicle, you said, "The vehicle shuts off" then you enter pin, put it in gear and you drive on. How did it start again without the key?
That’s actually a very good question… I’ll need to look into that a bit more, could be vehicle specific, as it didn’t fully fall asleep and electronics were still running.
After taking a closer look with our support staff, the car allowed us to turn the vehicle back on even without the key (and after entered the pin) because the vehicle was still in gear@@rbaroncpd
Yes, but it's currently only available in a beta version which you would need to download directly from the ZPU software. It's not live on our website yet
@@zautomotive Thank you for the fast reply. I only recently added Tazer to my Dodge Challenger and it completely changed my experience with this vehicle- thank you to your team for this. Should I wait or just update/ download it now Sir?
@@AllegianceBattleGround Since it is still a beta version firmware, there could still be some bugs to work out. Really comes down to if you want earlier access or a more stable firmware version. We've been getting good reports from those using the beta firmware. If you do decide to download the beta version firmware, just please relay any issues to our support team - support@zautotech.com.

@@AllegianceBattleGround yes just update and plug back in, but if you already have a pin set from a previous firmware, clear your [in before updating. No reboot is necessary being that these are all live settings
As far as we know. We don’t know of any other way to unbrick the BCM except through the TaZer, but we’re not 100% sure of all the ways they take the cars, that’s why we say it’s good to have multiple layers of protection. We are constantly researching and adapting the feature and products as we find new information
Thanks for your response. I think the bricked pedal will stop most people from stealing the lower trim models. Mine is a 14 charger se with the v6. But it has the sport trim package. For sure though the higher trim packages people will need expensive equipment and expertise to un brick the pedal. But I think for most cases it should be good.
To activate KillByFob, the TaZer needs to be plugged in. But once KillByFob is triggered, even if the TaZer is removed, the pedal would remained disabled. Which is why we like this feature so much
Sorry, not a TaZer feature and not something that we can enable. That was a file the boss downloaded and had to upload via usb stick, but he did that about 7 years ago and doesn't remember the process
It’s one device - The Tazer. There are multiple Tazer’s for different vehicles. If you have a Charger/Challenger is the Tazer. If that vehicle is 2018 or newer you would also need the double bypass
I’ve had my Charger R/T stolen twice. The Tazer stopped it both times. They only got 10 feet down the road before they abandoned the car. Awesome device and I seriously suggest this for MOPAR vehicles.

Can the pin feature be added? I got this for pin lock feature ..?

@ when this update came out I just updated
I did the update last month but I notice that I’ll autostart the car with remote then like in 2 min the car just shuts off on it own
And I know it 15 min timer on auto start so I don’t know why it doing that that all started when I turn the pin lock feature on
@@gabrielmendez49 not sure, sounds like a good question for technical support- email support@zautotech.com
I have a 2016 scat and hellcat I can’t find the pin option to use it? I’ve updated both but I don’t see the option to set it up?
It’s a live setting, vehicle engine must be on
@@zautomotive I got it figured out lol but I appreciate the reply.
New to the mopar fam, my 2SS Camaro was stolen back in June. Before getting another one looked at options for security. IGLA was the only viable but expensive option. Heard about this and said why not? Got a 2019 392 wideboy. Added this and more air tags than the apple store and a kill switch lol! I sleep pretty well knowing a busted window is the biggest of my worries. They yanked my 6.2 outta my Camaro 😢😢😢 NEVER AGAIN!!!
I’m sorry to hear this. Our Tazer programmer is not a designated security device but a programmer with a few anti theft features for added layers of protection. Hate to hear when vehicles are stolen
@@zautomotive appreciate it! With other layers of security, it's a very useful tool to deter theft still. What you guys are doing for the community is nothing short of amazing! Glad I found this and no regrets!
@@JVaughn202 happy to hear. Always nice to hear sentiments such as these from the community and our customers
I have a 2015 Challenger, i got update 2.5.9 and have loved it thus far but i got 2 things i would like more info on. Ever since updating to 2.5.9, now when i open my door with the engine on my car makes the chime sound and flashes "fob battery low" on the dash until i close the door. Not sure if that is a feature or a bug but im not a fan of it and am hoping there is a way to turn that off.
My second question is regarding the new way pin lock acts. While overall i like it, i am a little concerned that 40 seconds is a bit to much time for a smart dodge car jacker to get the car on and moving before pin lock kicks in and even then it's still a matter of when the car slows down enough before the brakes actually lock up. I totally understand the car having to be slow enough before the brakes lock but my question is, is it possible to shorten the time from 40 seconds to say maybe 20 seconds or less before brake lock activates? Personally i would prefer 10 seconds but that's just me. If not i think this would be a great option to let us choose in the future and possibly consider shortening the time for by default. The Average theft time of a Challenger is 40 seconds but that includes the time it takes to get into the car and start it. Once thiefs start the vehicle they're pretty much gone within 10 seconds or less most of the time. In this regards i actually think the old pinlock method of locking the car on start-up was safer.
That being said i do like the idea of having an initial delay (the new way pinlock is) but I think how long that delay is really should be customizable or give us the option to lock on startup like before. 40 seconds is just to long in my opinion. Sorry for the long comment just wanted to put my experience out there. Love your guy's products man you guys do incredible work, keep it coming💪
The "fob battery low" notification is warning you that Car-Jack Mode is going to activate if the key is removed from the car and then the car door closed. In 2.6.0, it will just flash the hazards and you will hear an audible tick

does these features work with a 2014 charger ?

I wish there were some younger guys to help us older guys get these installed and setup correctly. The Electronic Features have rocketed past the normal human technology skills, Thanks Nudels
@@BareBottom I don’t know what a Nudel is but the younger guy literally made this video for you to help
@@zautomotive yes as I am 67, I have to watch this on my laptop inside my jeep and pause it continually, look at the jeep Components and figure out where they are at. I am fairly good on a computer and with new software, as I am an entry level trainer on software that we use at work at the engineering firm I work for. But I am not familiar with a Tazer, nor all the features on my Rubicon 392 Hemi, So my thought is to have your guy take and average guy my age, and hand the Tazer off and watch and detail all the struggles he makes to get it installed. I live just north of Houston, I would be more than happy to show somebody my struggles.

yes it does
i have the latest update & not seeing that option
You don't have the Security/PIN menu while the vehicle is running and going through the live settings of the TaZer menu?
What shifter is that
What happens if we lose our key & get a new one from the dealer?
@@660woodworkingandreno8 then you have a new key? Features would be the same
Hi I use kill pedal disable. When I turn it on. Later I came back. This future is not working? Do you know why?
Did you enter your pin therefore reenabling the pedal?
Can I use the tazer with the pedal box pro?
Don’t know what that is, but most likely. Email our support staff and they’ll let you know for sure - support@zautotech.com
I have had my tazer in my car for about 2-3 years now do I now need to purchase a new one to get this theft protection?
no just update the firmware
The killbyfob mode is enabled. If I don’t enable PIN Lock and I only enable on killbyfob if I only have that feature on. Does it disable gas pedal by default?
You don’t need to have any other PIN Lock settings enabled and can just have KillbyFob enabled, although a PIN needs to be set to access the PIN/Security submenu, which killbyfob is in
@@zautomotive got it, thank you.
Where can i download 2.5.9? All i see in my programming tool is 2.5.8 for new firmware and 2.5.6 for the previous firmware. 2.5.9 not visible at all
Update: My issue was the version of ZPU not being up to date. I installed the most recent version of ZPU and then the new firmware was available.
@@Bi9Clapper glad you found it. 2.6.0 should be coming out very soon
Would I be able to use say a compustar fob instead of my OEM Durango key fob with these new features? Specifically the kill by fob?

How do i get my car to get out of theft mode after code wasnt put in ? My 2011 dodge charger wont start now
Enter the correct Pin or reference the “if you forgot your pin” section of the TaZer manual on page 14: zautomotive.com/zpu/instructions/TazerUserGuide259.pdf
Can you kill the brakes and the gas pedal every time you lock your car ? If they don’t start it and try to push the car
You can kill the pedal every time you lock your car, but the brakes will only lock when the vehicle is running and the Tazer plugged in
When enabling key by fob, does the car have to be on to enable the setting?
Or have it on Run?
No. Please refer to the “killbyfob best practices” section of the video. The vehicle is off, and the car is being locked by the lock button on the keyfob
@@zautomotive I was reading the manual and it stated that the car had to be on. It confused me and that’s why I was clarifying. I love all your videos. They are very easy to follow. Thank you very much.
Hello, is there a Tazer product for 2023 Dodge Durango R/T ? I saw on the website that it will not work with Uconnect 5? Will there be a future Tazer for newer Durango’s

Greetings , I am getting a wrangler. Great video how would I remove the need to plug in a taser in the front where it can be removed. Will this work with a taser min ?
These updated features are not yet available on the TaZer mini, just the base pin lock features where it locks up the brakes. You could always purchase out TaZer shield to help from the TaZer mini from being removed www.zautomotive.com/product/tazer-shield/
Is this update available? I’ve updated my taser with the latest version on my computer and I don’t see any of these features , the latest version on my computer shows 2.5.9
2.5.9 is the latest firmware. As mentioned in the description, it is still a beta firmware and will contain bugs, so please be aware of that. If you decide to download it, please report any bugs to customer support via email - support@zautotech.com
I have to ask would if the theives take you out your car and ask for your key before he leaves? Are we shyt out of luck?
Kind of, unless the door closes first then car jack mode will trigger: ruclips.net/video/FMYfUsORMvU/видео.htmlsi=pitww1mIPh5GztN_
There’s a question is kind of baffling me, so the taser needs to be plugged in always in order to use the pin ?
Yes, but as mentioned in the video you can use the KillPedalNow feature and then remove the Tazer and the pedal will remain disabled
So if I use remote start, will that trigger the countdown for pin lock or only when I go from remote start to actually starting the car, will that trigger pin lock
no
So you can still remote start with all this stuff on?@zautomotive
Recently installed, turned on all the pin features but when I lock with FOB the vehicle does not double blink. Did I miss a step?
Is the throttle getting disabled?
Are you able to unlock the door with proximity entry and see if the pedal is killed?
@@zautomotive It did not disable the throttle.
@@svdpschoolsalem very odd. Reach out to support - support@zautotech.com

Reason why I’m asking because my car was stolen last week and they just put it in neutral and pushed it away with another vehicle.
@@mankamalchana4956 that’s awful. We have nothing in place that can stop that or being taken from by a tow truck. Even with pin lock, the vehicle can still be put into gear.

If you’re concerned about that, we don’t recommend downloading the firmware at this time, as it is a beta version. If you have concerns, wait until it is tested a bit more and then download the firmware when it becomes available on our site
@@zautomotiveso is that y i couldnt set my pin… i tried over and over and it kept going to cruise on and off but not pin set.. i downloaded the update.. so idk what i did wrong

What happens if they pull the neutral release while the brakes are engage, will the vehicle still not move?
Depends if pin lock gets triggered
In your car jack mode, you take the keys out of the vehicle and place them outside. You get back in the car, try to drive away, then the car locks up after coming to a stop. You then enter the code, to unlock the vehicle, you said, "The vehicle shuts off" then you enter pin, put it in gear and you drive on. How did it start again without the key?
That’s actually a very good question… I’ll need to look into that a bit more, could be vehicle specific, as it didn’t fully fall asleep and electronics were still running.
Have you figured out the problem of starting the car while the keys were outside the vehicle?@@zautomotive
After taking a closer look with our support staff, the car allowed us to turn the vehicle back on even without the key (and after entered the pin) because the vehicle was still in gear@@rbaroncpd
Sir, do we have to update the Tazer to get the new pedal kill feature?
Yes, but it's currently only available in a beta version which you would need to download directly from the ZPU software. It's not live on our website yet
@@zautomotive Thank you for the fast reply. I only recently added Tazer to my Dodge Challenger and it completely changed my experience with this vehicle- thank you to your team for this.
Should I wait or just update/ download it now Sir?
@@AllegianceBattleGround Since it is still a beta version firmware, there could still be some bugs to work out.
Really comes down to if you want earlier access or a more stable firmware version. We've been getting good reports from those using the beta firmware.
If you do decide to download the beta version firmware, just please relay any issues to our support team - support@zautotech.com.
All firmware details are listed in the description
Sir, thank you for this reply. Do I just update the Tazer and plug it back into The Challenger, make the menu changes, then perform the full reboot?
@@AllegianceBattleGround yes just update and plug back in, but if you already have a pin set from a previous firmware, clear your [in before updating. No reboot is necessary being that these are all live settings
How do I update my taser do I have to plug in computer?
Yes www.zautomotive.com/z-automotive-programming-uti/
Another question. With the pedal being bricked. Would this help degend against ond2 and can bus attacks? Like is it only easily removed by your tazer.
As far as we know. We don’t know of any other way to unbrick the BCM except through the TaZer, but we’re not 100% sure of all the ways they take the cars, that’s why we say it’s good to have multiple layers of protection. We are constantly researching and adapting the feature and products as we find new information
Thanks for your response. I think the bricked pedal will stop most people from stealing the lower trim models. Mine is a 14 charger se with the v6. But it has the sport trim package. For sure though the higher trim packages people will need expensive equipment and expertise to un brick the pedal. But I think for most cases it should be good.
@@jonathoncouchey7151 hoping so as well
I have the Burnbox Hellcat. Any chance of adding the PIN security features to that?

This New feature works on Jeeps Grand Cherokee 2022?
Yes
To use the kill by fob feature does the Tazer need to stay in the car, or can it be removed when we exit the car and the feature still work?
To activate KillByFob, the TaZer needs to be plugged in. But once KillByFob is triggered, even if the TaZer is removed, the pedal would remained disabled. Which is why we like this feature so much
@@zautomotive Thank you so much for the fast replay! Mine will be here tomorrow, can not wait to try it out.
WHOA HOLD UP! What was that Scat Pack logo on the infotainment screen!?! I want it!!
Sorry, not a TaZer feature and not something that we can enable. That was a file the boss downloaded and had to upload via usb stick, but he did that about 7 years ago and doesn't remember the process
I noticed this too lol..I was like wrf
So which one do I order? I kinda got confused a little
It’s one device - The Tazer.
There are multiple Tazer’s for different vehicles. If you have a Charger/Challenger is the Tazer. If that vehicle is 2018 or newer you would also need the double bypass
@@zautomotive thank you for tha clarification
Will these features work (pin lock ect.) on the 11-14 Charger?
Yes, once the TaZer is updated to version 2.5.9 these features will be available for those years as well
