Z Automotive TAZER JL Mini Manual

Introduction

The Tazer JL Mini is an electronic plugin device for the following vehicles:
2018-2023 Jeep Wrangler JL
2020-2023 Jeep Gladiator JT
2021-2023 Jeep Wrangler 4XE

Firmware Updates

New firmware is available periodically, always free and posted to the Z Automotive website. The Tazer may not ship with the latest firmware, so use ZPU (Z Automotive Programming Utility), also on the website, to install the firmware over USB.

Feature List

Tazer JL Mini features can be broken into three categories:

• Vehicle Settings are accessed with the engine OFF and the ignition in the "RUN" position. These are changes made to the Jeep such as tire size, gear ratios or settings which accommodate other upgrades. These changes will continue to operate after the Tazer JL Mini is unplugged.
• Live Functions are accessed with the engine ON. These are operations the Tazer JL Mini performs live, only while it is physically connected.
• "Non-Menu" Live Functions are not located in a menu. They are activated automatically or with a steering wheel button combination. These are operations the Tazer JL Mini performs live, only while it is physically connected.

NOTE: This is just a list of available features. To learn more about how to activate them or what they do, continue to the dedicated section of the manual for each set of features.

• Plug those two connectors into the Tazer JL Mini.
• The driver knee panel may be removed for easier access to see the connectors
• The Tazer JL Mini can be left plugged in, as many of its features (Live Functions) only work when plugged in.
• An optional SGW Extension Cable is available from our website for easier removal.
• The Tazer JL Mini will go to sleep 30 seconds after the Jeep shuts down.

The Tazer JL Mini fits ALL Jeep JLs, JTs and 4XEs. If it looks like one of the plugs is too big, you're looking at the incorrect plugs (circled in red).

Menu Navigation

• For all functions involving the dash (EVIC) display, the EVIC screen first needs to be in a state where it's showing the AUDIO screen. Navigate to this screen using the steering wheel arrow buttons.
• Once the display is in this state, use the button commands below to operate your Tazer JL Mini.

Critical Information

Read everything on this page CLOSELY.
EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU MAKE CHANGES IN THE "VEHICLE SETTINGS" (ENGINE OFF) MENU OR UNMARRY, YOU MUST PERFORM A FULL REBOOT AND TWO SLEEP CYCLES. THIS PROCESS IS EXPLAINED HERE:

How to perform a FULL REBOOT AND TWO SLEEP CYCLES

• After making all of your changes, scroll to "full reboot?" and select it.
• Wait for the countdown, then perform two sleep cycles.
• The quickest way to do two sleep cycles is to turn the ignition off, open and close the driver's door and wait about 60 seconds AFTER the dash goes dark, then turn the ignition on (but not the engine) and repeat once more.
• This step is critical after changing settings or settings might not save, or you may find that the dash doesn't shut down, which can result in a dead battery.

Full Reboots should be performed on level ground, with the wheels straight and with your foot off the brakes.

Returning to Stock / Unmarry

SELECT "UNMARRY?" FROM THE VEHICLE SETTINGS MENU AND PERFORM THE STEPS ABOVE TO RETURN YOUR VEHICLE TO STOCK CONFIGURATION*
*Your Tazer stores the configuration present when it's Married. That will be what it returns to when you Unmarry, even if it wasn't stock.
You should Unmarry and remove your Tazer before dealer service or if you wish to use your Tazer in another vehicle.

Vehicle Settings

This section explains the Vehicle Settings, used primarily for feature activation.

The Vehicle Settings menu is accessed with the ignition in "Run" (not "ACC") and the engine NOT running.
The menu items are listed in the order in which they will display.

Main Menu

• Light Shows "LightShow?": Activate pre-programmed and custom light shows, even when the engine isn't running.

PIN Lock Supplement

The Tazer PIN Lock allows you to set a steering wheel button sequence (PIN) that must be entered before the vehicle can be driven. This is the most complex feature of the Tazer and provides a high level of security against vehicle theft. This PIN will need to be entered when the vehicle is started or after you exit the running vehicle with your key.

Select the "Set PIN?" option in the Live Settings menu with ◁/BACK(HOLD) + CRUISE On/Off to begin this process.

Setting your PIN

After selecting "Set PIN?" from the menu, you will be prompted to enter a one to six button sequence that will allow the operator to drive the vehicle. Your button choices are:

• Cruise + (+)
• Cruise - (-)
• Cruise Cancel (<)
• Cruise RES (>)

and if you have Adaptive Cruise Control

• Near ACC (N)
• Far ACC (F)
• ACC Enable (A)

Hitting a seventh button will abort the process. Save your PIN with CRUISE On/Off.

After turning the vehicle off, this PIN will now be required to drive the vehicle and "Set PIN?" will change to "Clear PIN."

After turning the vehicle on:

1. a 20-second countdown will begin
2. the green parking light icon will blink
3. the dashboard turn indicators will blink and click

Enter your PIN and the countdown will stop. The dashboard screen will read "PIN Unlocked."

Failure to enter the PIN before the countdown ends will cause the ABS pump to lock all four brakes while the interior ABS light flashes. This is to remind you to enter the PIN and will not bring attention to the vehicle.

Shifting into gear without entering the PIN will lock the brakes, in addition to starting a Light Show. You will not be able to move the vehicle until you enter the PIN, after which this will stop.

Carjack Mode

When the vehicle is running and you leave the vehicle with the key and close the door, the vehicle will continue to be fully operable for 20 seconds.

If the PIN is not entered within those 20 seconds:
If the vehicle is stopped, the brakes will lock. Attempting to shift into gear from this state will trigger a Light Show.
If the vehicle is in motion, once it slows to 5MPH, the brakes will jam and a Light Show will begin. This will render the vehicle immobile until the PIN is entered.

Clearing the PIN

To remove the PIN Lock, select "Clear PIN." If the PIN was entered when starting the vehicle, this will immediately remove the PIN Lock.

Forgetting your PIN

To remove the PIN Lock after the PIN Lock is triggered, select "Clear PIN" from the menu. The dash screen will read "Brake+Hazard."

Turn on your hazard lights and apply the foot brake. This will trigger a 10-minute countdown. Keep the vehicle running and your foot on the brake until this countdown is finished and the PIN Lock will be removed.

NOTE: In any instance that the vehicle is immobilized by the Pin Lock feature, in the Wrangler 4XE, the motor will shut off and the vehicle will become stuck in Park instead of locking all four brakes.

NOTE: For best results, stow the Tazer in a place where it is not likely to be removed intentionally or accidentally.

Updating/Light Show Configuration

Updating your Tazer firmware is done with the Z Automotive Programming Utility, which requires a computer or other device running Windows or MacOS Catalina or newer and an available USB port. The ZPU User Guide at the link above explains how to install ZPU and how to perform firmware updates. If you misplace or damage your USB cable, you can replace it with any common "USB Mini B" data/charging cable.

Please see the accompanying "Light Show Configuration Guide" to configure your Tazer JL Mini's light show options in ZPU

Unmarrying Your Device

To Unmarry your Tazer, select "Unmarry" from the Vehicle Settings Menu (not Live). Then perform a "Full Reboot" and two sleep cycles as described in "CRITICAL INFORMATION" section. All of your settings will revert to whatever they were when you originally Married your Tazer.

You should Unmarry and remove your Tazer before dealer service or if you wish to use your Tazer in another vehicle.

The Unmarry Key
NOTE: This feature is only for when your Tazer is Married to another vehicle.
If you receive a Tazer second-hand, or lose access to your vehicle without unmarrying your Tazer and receive the "Not VIN XXXX" error:

1. Navigate to the "UnmryNo" item in the Tazer's EVIC menu.
2. Write this key down, and visit this URL to purchase our Unmarry Service, where you'll be prompted to enter that key: https://www.zautomotive.com/product/unmarry-key/
3. Return to the UM Key option in the EVIC menu and hit (Left Arrow + Cruise+/-) to begin entering the code provided with your purchase.
4. Press Left + Cruise On/Off to proceed to the next character.
5. Once you've entered the last (eighth) digit, your Tazer will report whether the unmarry has succeeded or failed.
