Taking my truck in for an oil change today. Anyone leaver their Tazer hooked up for basic dealer maintenance? Any issues with doing so? The only thing I’ve used it for is speedometer adjustment for my 35”s and to enable the auto folding mirrors.
Haha...I have a real problem with the term "unauthorized add-on" when it's applied to anything I own. As far as I'm concerned, as the owner, I'm the only one who can truly authorize any add-on.Typically - most dealers scan the truck for CEL's when they check it in. Not sure if the missing security module (because this is where the Tazer plugs in) shows up in the vehicle report.
While it "shouldn't" void a warranty, since it seems FCA looks for ANY EXCUSE TO DO SO - I always remove my Tazer and Pedal Commander when it's going in.
Personally - I would REMOVE ANY POSSIBILITY of them making a note of an "unauthorized addon". Could save headaches later.
They always ask me how I got my mirrors to autofold - I just shrug...

They will do anything they can to deny a warranty claim. ANYTHING you plug into a harness could (conceivably) screw up a computer in the truck. At least we don't have to CUT WIRES to put these things in. I go (went) through this kind of crap with harley - until I got the connectors and parts, and started adding "pigtail sub-harnesses" for my addons, that could be removed without a trace (versus splicing or cutting). Also made things easier to troubleshoot by removing my addons, leaving a "virgin" electrical system.Haha...I have a real problem with the term "unauthorized add-on" when it's applied to anything I own.

But I get what you're saying. I remove the pedal controller when my truck goes in for any kind of service or recall fix. I'm not going to give them anything that can possibly work against me in the future.
Those who remove the Tazer, are you just unplugging it and plugging back into the BCM, or are you also unmarrying it?
Is there a list that of options that require the tazer and a list that do not?Unmarry returns all to stock
Remove takes away the options that require the tazer but keeps the ones that don’t.

That and folding mirrors is why I mostly wanted it. I’ve turned off the auto fold mirrors for the winter, seems like they get a lot of snow/ice and I’ve had some issues with them moving smoothly. I’ll turn back on in April. I believe both needs to stay plugged in
Alphaodb maybe could allow for it ??
Anything listed as a"live" feature requires the Tazer to be installed to work.Is there a list that of options that require the tazer and a list that do not?
