Tazer JL or JL Lite questions

[Grinch]

I upgraded my tires on my JLUR to 35" and now my speedometer is off. It can be off as much as 4 mph at highway speeds. I am looking at probably getting the Tazer JL Lite to change this and the Auto stop/start feature. My first question is, does this cause any problems not having those 2 prongs plugged into the Jeep any longer and only plugged into the tazer? Also, I saw somewhere that they said you should unplug and un-marry the tazer if you take your Jeep to the dealer. I would assume that doesn't apply to oil changes? And why unplug it if all it is doing is correcting your Speed to give you correct MPH and miles ran on the Jeep? Sorry for the dumb questions, just don't want to do anything to mess up my brand new Jeep. Any other Pro/Cons others have ran into using these products would be helpful.
Thanks!

The taser site explains this very well. For the taser , taser lite and the new mini. But in short , tire size is under the setting category. And remain even if you remove the taser. The auto/start/stop is an active or live category. The taser must remain plugged in for these.
Taser recommends removing and unmarriing. Before any dealer visit.
That is my plan, but I’m not sure they would even figure it out if it’s removed, and they are just doing the oil. But I don’t do oil at the dealer either.

Edit: also just to add. I love my taser. Not sure how anyone can do without it. It’s awesome. We use at least 8 of the features most of the time. I wish I had a mini. Got mine a month before it’s release.

I use the original Tazer JL ( two piece ) anyway I marry it to the JL and then set tire size, tpms limits and fog light drop and then removed it, early on the Tazer had been known for causing a parasitic draw on the battery so after reading some were coming out to dead batteries I chose to leave mine removed, I have heard this has been corrected in the 11.08 firmware but I have yet to upgrade

In regard to removing before service yes you should do so as you don’t want to give them a reason to deny any warranty claim saying the aftermarket programmer caused the issue, I doubt they would but me personally I would never take a chance.

Yeah, I am thinking of going with the lite or the mini that jetboy said is available. I just thought if you leave it plugged in behind the dash all the time it would cause some kind of problem. If not, why are those 2 plug connected to begin with.

With no Tazer installed the connector from the OBDII port goes to a security gateway module then from the module to the brain of your Jeep, here is a link on SGW info

https://diag.net/msg/m1fsoznwl3nndqti9pxq9k4nz0

Anyway haveing this SGW in place prevents tampering with the system so you have to unplug from the SGW to allow information to be written to the Jeep, the early module of Tazer was a two piece unit but they have now made it all in one small package but as stated once you marry it to your JL and then make vehicle changes you can unplug it but you must leave it married to the Jeep or settings will be put back to stock and if you want to use any live settings it must be left plugged in all the time but if you leave it connected for say service of an electrical problem and they find the Tazer connected it’s possible they could point the cause to the Tazer and not cover the repair so it’s best to unmarry it and remove it before any service

By the way, I just found this on the Z Auto website for anyone interested. Comparison chart for the different tazer models:

The mini is perfect. It fits under the dash, no need for extra cable

[Toycrusher]

I have the mini. It's waaay better than sliced bread. It basically removes the kindergarten lock and lets you do what you should be able to do with your Jeep as a responsible adult. I use...

ESS kill
Seatbelt chime kill
Nav lock kill
Front camera
TPMS reset pressure warning level
Tire size reprogram
2wd rear locker
2wd sway bar disconnect
And more

No Jeep should be without it
