Reviews for Z Automotive Z-TZR-JLM Tazer JL Mini Programmer for 18-23 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT
When I purchased my 2020 JLU Sahara a couple of months ago I really disliked the auto-stop-start feature. To disable that feature from re-enabling after each restart I purchased https://www.autostopeliminator.com. This product worked great. As time went on I decided to add Mopar’s AUX switches. Hint site 20/10 I should have bought that feature when ordered the Jeep. Unfortunately to enable this product after install requires a dealer flash. I didn’t want to pay the dealer so I purchased a Tazer JL Mini. Away went the other module. Their product works great! I wish it controlled more features in the Jeep i.e. disable the Auto Park feature. I also purchased Z Automotives Camera for the front of my JLU. In my opinion I would skip that in the future, it works and may be of value for hitting the trails however for an everyday driving vehicle I would suggest allocating that $’s to another mod.
I attached it to the 2019 JLURubicon RHD(JP model 3.6L). The SGW unit connector was difficult to install, but the installation was successfully completed. Audio and GPS didn't work once after I made It Married, but I came back with ACC re-enter. After that, it seems that the change of the part which does not change the setting is done unintentionally.

There are parts of this that are great, but one glaring issue. It disables some of the features and communication with Sirius Guardian, if your vehicle has that. They confirmed this is a known issue. I think it's super sleazy of them not to have noted this clearly on the product pages. It prevents the vehicle info page from updating, but some of the warnings and alerts come through. But then when you clear them, it still shows the warnings and alerts. I removed the module (which is a bit of a pain), ran it for a bit, and now it's all updated.
I'm considering returning it at this point, unsure.
Great for setting tire size, but all of the 'active' settings constantly need to be reset. Updated the software when I got it and hopefully there is another update soon because the frustration is outweighing the benefit
This Z-Automotive is a piece of work .. It KILLS YOUR BATTERY within 2 weeks .. and you have to spend twice that replacing both the primary and aux battery in your JT after this thing kills it.. Ive had it for over 3 years and the last 2 updates it did the same thing .. NEVER GET THIS .. go with the SUPERCHIPs FlashCal+ instead
This is receiving such a low rating simply because of the following. When I received it and opened the package, there were no instructions. Instead, I was directed to a website where I could obtain the instructions. I'm OK with that but I wondered how many people would have an issue with that, particularly since the description failed to mention this. Once I obtained the instructions, the first step was to update the firmware. Yes, a link was given to do that. However, only a Windows app was available. The "link" to the MacOS software was inactive and the website stated that "NOTE: Support for MacOS has been halted temporarily. An updated version of our Mac software is set to be released in the next week or two." It is now over 3 MONTHS since I first saw that caveat. In addition, the description of the device on both the manufacturer's website and Quadratec's website fail to mention the lack of support for MacOS. I have no idea if I can even use this thing and even if I could, since I cannot update the firmware, I have no idea what functions I can actually use!
I have a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. The electrical plug is larger then that on the Tazer Mini. It does not fit will have to return. Was really looking forward to making changes. Oh well.
