Edge Insight CTS - Set-up Help

A couple questions:

1 - In the standard configurations I don't see a reading for Engine Oil Temp. How do I get that to display.

2 - What other vitals have ya'll added to the standard monitoring?

3 - Do I need to unplug it or turn it off when I shut down the truck?

Any other new user tips are appreciated.

it should have ford pids to select from after you plug it into the truck and make the proper selections the first time
I watch EOT .ECT .boost . batt voltage,trans temp I have a standalone EGT gauge if I didn't I would pick that over batt voltage
did u update when u got it ?
it will come on and off automatically after the first three user agreements

No, I did not update it. I just plugged it in. How do you update it? I am installing the "mystyle" software on my pc now. Likely somehow through that, huh?

What is a pid? I just picked Ford and there was no other options from there, but maybe if I connect to PC and update it, you can further select from there?

I played around with the analog and the one that shows 8 readings, they are small and hard to read.

I use the analog and if u want to change a PID ("Parameter IDs", are codes used to request data from a vehicle)

just touch the one you want and a new screen will pop up and you can pic from there
