Tazer or ProCal

Post by jhoward8821 » Fri Jun 07, 2019 12:06 pm

I'm looking for some feedback regarding which direction to go, Tazer or Procal? I just went to 35" tires and need to get the speedo calibrated, but also want to reset the TPMS. I know both will take care of those two options but not sure if the additional $$ for the Tazer is worth it. I also know that the Tazer has the locker function now, but also know its not a true override like many were hoping for.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Alfaobd can do that too. Tpms is easy, changing the wheel size is a bit trickier as it requires a series of steps to get ABS working. If you do it wrong then among many other things you get no speedometer.

I had zero problem with setting the tire size on the Tazer, not to take away from the person who DID have an issue. There is a pretty new firmware upgrade for the Tazer RAM that keeps some things cleaned up.

Procal is pretty limited.

I also have AlfaOBD and used it to reset the TPMS Threshold. Also for the HID Headlights and some other LED lights. No resister/capcitor harness needed for HIDs if you use AlfaOBD to set headlights to HID (saved $80). AlfaOBD would great if you are going to add any options that didn't come from the factory (HID headlights, front camera, cargo camera, etc.).

For me the right combination was AlfaOBD AND Tazer RAM.

The Procal works very well and is easy. I also have the hardware locker bypass (rather than the software style of the Tazer) that I am quite fond of. That being said, looking at he additional features, I would likely do the tazer if I didn't already have the procal mainly to get the same features (fogs on, TPMS/tiresize/gear size) and to get the Uconnect improvements (address entry, extra camera) as well as the winch idle up.
