Hi,

I'm thinking of getting a Tazer DT for my 2023 Ram 1500 Big Horn Night Edition which has the 12" Uconnect5 system. The current Tazer DT firmware version is 18.2.6.

I want to use it primarily for:
  • PIN Code lock
  • Disable Auto Stop/Start
  • Automatic Fold Side Mirrors
I've been reading that there are some issues the Tazer DT has with 2022 and 2023 Rams.
Have all the issues been resolved with the 18.2.6 firmware?

I am currently using my old charger tazer with the DT software, and so far everything seems fine on my truck.
I cant say much to the auto mirrors, cause i turned that off. I was thinking in my head, open\shut\open\shut.... daily. sounds like broken mirrors at some point. I just use the button if i am parking in a tight spot, but that's me.

I think they got the bugs out for the 2022 and newer.

Did you get a Tazer DT for your Ram ?

I did. I did not marry it to my truck. I'm not using the PIN Code lock function. Just KillByFob, AmberDRL, and FoldMirror. I've heard too many scary stories about having both 1) marry, and 2) PIN Code enable.

I updated to the latest firmware first. After I made my settings, I shutoff the engine and started the engine again and it threw a CEL with a DTC code "Cruise Control Unavailable at Low Speed" on the EVIC. I cleared the DTC code and after 2 engine shutoffs and 2 engine starts, I haven't seen the CEL so far. I suspect I got the CEL because Tazer uses the Left+CruiseControl button to make menu selections and the button state of CC must have been On when I shutoff the engine and started it again. I dunno. If it throws a CEL again, I'm gonna remove the Tazer and sell it. So far what I'm using is working: KillByFob, AmberDRL, and FoldMirror.
