Bought this device for my new 2024 Jeep Rubicon. It is a game changer. It promptly eliminated the auto stop start feature, which was tremendously frustrating. It does so flawlessly and can be easily returned to the factory mode at the push of a button. It also has a built-in light show feature that can be activated from the remote that’s pretty amazing and turns your vehicles lighting into warning lights. It also provides you access to other features, such as extending the time that the home link Door Opener system remains operational after you turn the car off. It also provides the opportunity to turn the center brake light to flash at designated number of times that you set which help helps increase its visibility when you apply the brakes especially if you do so abruptly. I’ve had this product for 10 days and it’s a must to have if you are annoyed by the constant stopping and starting of your vehicle at traffic lights and other places where you need to stop your vehicle frequently. It’s relatively easy to install and takes just a few minutes once you can locate the two plugs that have to be unplugged from the Jeep and plugged into the device. Once that is done, the device is operational. Recommend that you review some YouTube videos on how to access the wires that need to be plugged into the device. Highly recommend.UPDATE: The product continues to operate flawlessly. Before I installed the device I would get very frustrated when my Jeep would hesitant at a traffic light because of the OEM stop/start feature. Recently, I have been stoplights beside a vehicle that has the stop/start feature and I can hear their vehicle turn off, and when the light turns green, I'm well into the intersection before their vehicle starts and they begin moving. It just reminded me how wonderful this device is and how pleased I am that eliminated this tremendously annoying OEM stop/start feature. Highly, highly recommend the Z mini programmer.

I installed this in my new Gladiator because I'd converted from Halogen to LED headlights and fog lights. They weren't working properly until I installed this and turned on the LED feature. The installation was easy. I found a YouTube video out on the internet that helped me find the plug location under my dash. Once I found it, the Z-Tazer plugged in and the install was done.It took a while for me to find the information about how to get from install to submenus, but I did finally find a YouTube video that explained that the next step after install was to "marry" the unit to the vehicle. Once I finally found that video, and performed the "marry" feature, that's when all the submenus magically appeared.There are some very cool features in this product: I now have a 30 second delay before my garage door opener shuts off, I now get a series of quick flashes of the third brake light, my new LED headlights and LED fog lights now work properly, my rear camera comes on with my turn signals, I now have a hood alarm, and can back my jeep up with the door open. All these and more were programable by scrolling through the menus and discovering all these cool features and simply turning them on.

Easy to install, confusing to use at first....follow the directions!!

Worked great in my 2023 Gladiator Sport S. Adjusted tire size which corrected the speedometer. With a 4.5" lift and 38 inch tires I was able to change the gear ratio to 4.88 gears so now the shift points are way better. Also got rid of the stupid auto park feature. I can now open the door and back up the Jeep. I had a couple quirks where in one the reboot didn't finish so I had to do that twice. The other quirt was figuring out how to scroll to all the settings.
