anyone have an etorque truck with an 8.4 non nav, and actually uses the auto start stop feature?


super specific combo i know, but i have a few bugs particular to my truck and i think it’s because i fit the mold above. i have an email chain with tazer support right now because my pin lock, persistent backup cam, remote restart, and a couple other minor features don’t work. i’ve tried 18.2.3 and 18.2.4 but no luck.

i will say, their support is pretty top notch. also, the brake hold feature is my new favorite thing about the tazer. super convenient at long lights.

when the truck is in park and you switch to parking lamps only, or lights off, are the lights still on?

you could be describing daytime running lights

The required two sleep cycles after the Full Reboot are tricky to get right sometimes.

Are you actually unmarrying the Tazer, or just removing it after install? The only time you want to unmarry is if you are no longer going to use it. My suggestion would be to reinstall the Tazer, make the changes you want, do a full reboot and perform two sleep cycles (you might even consider disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes before the install and allowing the stock system to reset to factory defaults). After that just leave the Tazer connected.

Probably need to use alfaObd or Jscan to change it to USA if that's what you want.

Even if it was basically the American system ??
Yes this is correct.
In Canada DRL is forced on, in USA we have the option for it.

With Alfaobd you can change the setting in your truck permanently to give you the option.
With the Tazer you need to keep it connected for it to function.

I know I didn't get my question right.

I have USA option from the first day I bought my truck (from 4 years )
**but after i install tazer and change the factory settings .

I noticed that if i unmarry tazer and put back the factory two connection wired. And removed the tazer
My headlight always on and when i rotate the switch to the right or left It doesn't change anything.

If i marry again the tazer . The switch working properly as before i installed tazer.(same the day one i bought the ram )

The problem is the switch not working properly without tazer now

You said it was an export. Maybe something was changed during that export process that the TazerDT reset, and you just didn't realize it. If you don't want to use the TazerDT, then get alfaObd and set it back to US.

I reinstalled my tazer two days ago to calibrate my Speedo and had all kinds of electrical issues on my 6 hour drive last night from Georgia to Florida.
My truck just freaked out and cut off 4 times over the course of driving.

Service electronic stability control popped on then about 10 minutes later no bus appears on dash and about 8 different systems warnings from headlights to park sensors and loss of all window switches and turn signals but the headlights still work and the radio and lights inside then 5 minutes later the truck cuts off while still rolling and then comes back on and tells me I need to shift to park to start truck. I pull over, cut it off and it will start right back up and drive but with a check engine yellow light on.

That’s exactly what I’m facing.

Ac will be on fan, interior lights will turn of, signals, horn, highbeam, even the windows I will lose control on everything.

Even after unmarried tazer the car was fine for 2 weeks and I wanted to try it again and all sort of no bus, this time it more often and even with unmarried and 2 sleep cycles of reboot without the tazer I’ve experienced it once.

Here are some photos, over the past week Only

I’m also having a blue screen after trying to connect the front camera by ZAutomotive.

The screen shows 2 cargo camera buttons, but nothing is showing on the screen only blue screen.

I reached out and I had already did what they said try because I changed the battery before I got their email.. response below
- with the Tazer removed, and the security gateway connectors reconnected to the vehicle, remove the negative terminal on the battery for 2 minutes and then reconnect. At that point retest and see if the problem persists.

I responded and told them I had already did that and I’m still having issues. I know because of the holiday I expect that I could have some delays in response.
