Do you have the Tazer for the 2022 truck?

Yes. I ordered 2022 tazer, confirmed with Boosted that I had a 22 version, updated the firmware to the latest, and confirmed with Boosted that the latest firmware was compatible.

I just installed mine today and it partially worked. I was able to mess with the light shows, but could not get into the settings to marry. After turning the ignition to off and back to run, the uconnect screen would not boot up. Even after repeated resets it was completely unresponsive. I unplugged the tazer and plugged the car back in and everything went back to normal. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but it seems like the tazer and the car (22 just picked up) did not get along. Could the advanced cruise control cause a conflict? What am I doing wrong?

Sorry you are having issues with your Tazer. Let's try something here....

Is the Tazer still married? If so, plug it back in and try the Live Features. If it's not, then try remarrying the Tazer, Full Reboot, cycle twice and then try the Live Features.

Report back and let me know how it went.

Thanks,
Bill

I was not even able to get to the menu to marry it. I was only able to get the light shows to turn on (and flip between them). But then it went offline, I could not get it to respond, and the uconnect was basically blacked out. The live feature of the mirrors extending and retracting was working before I unplugged it, even though I had not set it.

What audio source or settings should be on when using the Tazer menu?

I’ve tried radio off, fm, xm, usb but the dash will constantly update to what is currently playing, no device, radio off, etc while trying to navigate through the menus.

Another issue I have is after adjusting the tire size, the parking sensors are disabled.

I have a 22 and have the latest update on the Tazer

Some of the features are default to in such as the mirrors so that tells me your truck sees the Tazer. Also, I’m assuming you have not married the Tazer to your truck yet. You can check this by plugging into your laptop/desktop and opening the update utility.

Whenever I first setup a Tazer, I turn the uconnect (stereo) off prior to starting. Make sure your center display is on audio prior to turning off the uconnect. Close the doors, turn on the ignition and wait until everything cycles before starting to program the Tazer.

Every vehicle I’ve installed a Tazer in has worked when following these steps in this order.

Taser worked flawless for me. Try updating the software, and try again. Thanks Bill, couldn’t be happier.

Love the look, but you should go to a detailer who Installs film and see if they can give you an overlay flim to perfectly match the oracle yellow to your ambers... sorry...ocd!

Other than that, Nice beast!

I followed your approach this morning. It worked and I was able to get it all configured. I'm not sure if all the functions are set the way I want, but I'll get that sorted out soon enough. The big problem that I had is that the screen (even on radio mode), keeps getting overwritten and blanking out the tazer text. I had the uconnect off, so it was displaying the mute logo and text which would overwrite the tazer text constantly. It resulted in seeing things like "MughtSh" instead of light show and "MogLght" instead of fog light for example. If there is a way to get around this, I would really like to know.

Thank you for all your help getting this sorted out.

Glad you got it sorted out!

Some of the overwriting glitches will always be there until the bugs get worked out of uconnect. The beauty of the Tazer is, you only need to set it up once and then you can forget it.

Question for you. If I unmarry to take it to the dealer and then remarry, does it remember the previous settings?
