The latest TaZer firmware dropped a few minutes ago and I feel we should start a new thread due to some of the changes incorporated with it's new One Touch Return to Stock (Marry Feature)

EDIT: Can you confirm what the stock settings are supposed to be for 2.3.2?

It's different for each trim level and in my case different completely because I have one of the first scat packs without the bee splash screen. if you have trouble remembering your settings their support should be able to assist. They take these requests all the time which is why they made the one Press return to stock feature

I take it steering wheel and seat returns to last setting on start? Only one setting allowed?

Thanks for the info, fan of your youtube videos!

Ooh so interesting, I was watching your video's yesterday. I was thinking to myself, "If only you could automatically have the car start up in Track mode to keep the Exhaust wide open all the time, instead of pushing a button. I'd rather push a button to get it into normal or Eco, then to do the reverse.

Sigh...seems 2015 6M Scats are left out, again...

Reason I asked is because on 2.3.1, the default changed.

Drv Mode used to be OFF by default, but if I did that after 2.3.1, it would prevent me from using my paddle shifters and sport mode would lack the traction setting.

I guess I'll find out.

Autosport mode and Trac Kill!

So what happens if you do not set factory defaults when you make the switch to 2.4 FW?

When you marry to a car it allows access to all the menus and unlockable features. Because the TaZer will marry to your car and take a snap shot of the current state it will assume that is your stock setting. When you unmarry it will return the car to that state. You will not be able to return your car to stock manually because when you unmarry it will just return your car to the state you married it to.

hope that makes sense...

Agreed and now it's a reality

How so, I'm a 15 Scat Pack M6, what are we missing out on?

Oh, I thought there was risk of bricking Uconnect or something.

OK now I see, you can marry the Tazer to whatever setting you had prior to the 2.4 firmware the only drawback is if they are not the stock settings and you need to go in for warranty service you can't go back to stock unless you unmarry, install firmware 2.3.2 and change the settings. Reason being, the 2.4 firmware will not let you change settings unless you marry the Tazer.

It looked like most of the new features were for 2016s...guess not

 

[Tommyv]

How about 17 and 18 392 TAs...same features as scatpacks?

 

[ChallyTatum]

Well I just set my 15 RT+ M6 to factory setting with the 2.3.2 firmware. I decided to push my luck and updated the uconnect to the 17.11.07. After a little over 1/2hr (car sat in the garage on a battery charger and set to run) the uconnect updated. Checked to see if sport mode and sport steering worked and to my surprise they did (engine gets a kick when I hit the sport button and steering is firm indicating to me sport works). I then upgraded the tazer to 2.4 and married it to the car. I then turned on STP & PerfP and it looks like performance pages is now working. The real test is to see if it will still be there tomorrow morning...I am not too optimistic though but it would totally make my Friday. The only thing different this time is when performance pages was loading (greyed out) I tapped it and it said no active uconnect account and to resubscribe with uconnect (something along those lines). Never said that before. I will keep you all posted.

Watching…………. Cool stuff!!!!

UPDATE again:

So get in the car after work, start it up and still no sport mode. Can press the button and no flag or bump in acceleration. Half way home, performance pages go blank and no longer shows up as an app. This was the longest I have ever had it working. Usually it would work for maybe 15mins or until I shut down the car. Honestly, I am fine with no PP on the uconnect screen as all it shows me is the extra gauges and power/torque (no longer accurate as I have a SC). For the RT+ paying over $100 a year ain't work it.

I get home and unmarry the Tazer and pressing the sport mode now shows the flag but a test drive indicates it is not working (don't get that bump when I press it). Looks like I have to wait for the OTA patch (available for only for the 2015 manuals). Despite this experience I must say that I do like the new auto traction control disable feature (can't wait for the sport mode to work again as that would be auto as well). I know I originally said that sport mode was working with the update but no it seems as that was wishful thinking. When I test drove the car the night before, it was still cold and the bump I was feeling was most likely due to the car warming up (tends to buck a little at cold temps). This time the are was warmed up and I tried at slow, medium speeds and pressing the button does nada. Without the sport mode and even with the SC, the car is not as peppy. Oh well, at least I now can update the Nav maps...although probably won't do that until spring of next year.

Well I just set my 15 RT+ M6 to factory setting with the 2.3.2 firmware. I decided to push my luck and updated the uconnect to the 17.11.07. After a little over 1/2hr (car sat in the garage on a battery charger and set to run) the uconnect updated.

Never said that before. I will keep you all posted.

UPDATE:

So this morning I start up the car and to my surprise the performance page app was still there and worked all the way to work (see attachment). One other thing I noticed that traction control was off shortly after starting the car. I guess by default both the sport mode and traction control turn on automatically when you start the car (tazer must be plugged in). Here is the kicker, my sport mode no longer works. Press the button and nothing happens. WTF! It was working after the update and after I married the Tazer. :soapbox: I am going to try and unmarry the tazer later today to see if sport comes back. Stay tuned.

FCA blocked unauthorized access via the ODBII port for 2018. They are finishing off a new product that will connect to the canbus in the trunk. it wall also be backwards compatible with over models (I believe 15+) so anyone who wants to free up the ODBII port for data logging will most likely want the new one

If I understand your issue correctly... From what I've see with SOME others if the uConnect is setup and attached to your online account and you let your subscription expire they will take away access to performance pages. You will need to remove the car from your online account and also reset your uConnect to disassociate it with your online account to get performance pages to return.
