EDGE Insight CTS
Im looking at getting an EDGE Insight CTS for my 05, what parameters can it monitor? ECT, EOT, Boost? im mainly worried about ECT and EOT, i already have boost trans and egt gauges.
Secondly, any who owns one, are you happy with it, and how did you mount it?

I bought one last summer and really like it so far. I am just using the suction cup windshield mount on mine. I am using it to monitor ECT, EOT, EGT, trans temp, and voltage. I plan on adding the fuel pressure regulator once it is released. There are 15 or so other things that you can monitor (intake air temp, throttle position, etc, etc).
I added a backup camera (a generic camera, not the edge version) to mine as well to help when hooking up with trailers. Below is a picture when the camera on. You can see where and how it's mounted as well. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures with the gauges showing.

looks like a license plate mount
In Arizona I don't think I could use the big edge unit ,, they started cracking down on any obstruction blocking the states name

Check this post out to see how I mounted the camera up. It's a lisence plate mount, but I put it on the bumper. I think a mount in the tailgate would give a better view, but I didn't want to get that involved in the install.
As Zmann said, I went with a different camera because the Edge is crazy expensive.

This particular camera is the Boyo VTL422C.
If you want to mount it like I did, you have to take the camera mount apart and change the routing of the wires. It won't rotate enough if you don't (since it was design to mount on the license plate). Simple to do (two screws and 20 seconds), but it took me a while to figure out why I couldn't rotate the camera as much as I wanted.
