Installation
2011 - 2017
For pre-2018 models, installation is a matter of
simply plugging the Tazer into the OBD2 diagnostic
port under the dashboard, above the parking
brake.

2018 - Current
Vehicles 2018 to current require the use of the Z
Automotive Double-Bypass. Click here to read the
full installation guide.

• The Tazer can be left plugged in, as many of its features (Live Functions) only work when plugged in.
• The Tazer does not need to be plugged in for any of the features in the Vehicle Settings to remain
operational.
• A splitter like the Z Automotive OBD T-Harness may be used if you have other devices that need to be
plugged into the OBD port at the same time. You can also use the Z Automotive Double-Bypass in pre-
2018 models to relocate the Tazer to the trunk.
• The Tazer will go to sleep by itself 30 seconds after the car shuts down.
• Configuration of Tazer settings is done nearly entirely inside the vehicle using menus accessed
with the button commands below.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are running firmware lower than 2.4.1, you must return all
vehicle settings to stock manually before upgrading to the current firmware. Contact
support@[Link] for more info.
New Tazers ship with a more recent (or current) firmware.

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
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 TAZER

To Unmarry your Tazer, select “Unmarry” from the Vehicle Settings
Menu (not Live). Then perform a “Full Reboot” and two sleep cycles
as described on page 6. 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 “UM Key” item in the Tazer’s EVIC menu, described on page 8.
2. Write this key down, and visit this URL to purchase our Unmarry Service, where you’ll be
prompted to enter that key: [Link]
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.
