Thanks for the info. Wish I knew about it a week ago. It would have helped me troubleshoot an issue. I'll be updating tomorrow. Reps to you.

Did my update also and ran allot of numbers the other day while on a freeway trip. Was happy to see the FICM voltage on there. I didnt get anything on my TCC duty cycle though. The numbers were 0.0. I must have a wire unplugged or something. I have had my tranny rebuilt.

Nice. I have the older model Edge Insight. Wonder if this update is available for those too? Sure would be nice to see the FICM voltage.

This mount works pretty, I used to have a fuel gauge behind it but now that I got the fuel pressure I got rid of that gauge. I have no problem reading it. I like the mount in the pillar. I think you could see it a little better.

My TCC does read 0.0 too. I guess I missed that one. I have also had my tranny rebuilt.

Right now I have mine mounted on the windshield with the suction mount.

hm I have all of those except mileage avg and mileage coach. The mileage inst is pretty inaccurate, it told me I was getting 7 mpg cruising at 60 on the highway

Edge Insight list of PID's

Edge Products| What's Happening

Half way down this page is a list of available PID's by vehicle type.

Comparing it to mine I notice ...

Engine Oil Pressure -> Edge website claims I should have this ... I don't.

Manifold Abs Pressure -> This PID is available on my Insight ... it is not listed on the website.

ICP Voltage -> Edge website says this is measuring pressure ... mine measures voltage.

I rented a new 2011 Suburban recently for a family trip. It had one of those in-dash computers that showed the instant mpg and when it was running on 8 cylinders or 4.

It totally changed my driving style while I was in that vehicle to be sure. It became a game to see how to keep that number up ... if it was accurate or not I don't know, but it did break the monotony of mile after mile after mile of highway.

Have you downloaded "fusion" and "egde my style"? Cliick on "Fusion to opne is and then is will ask you to plug in your CTS and it will do it automatically.

You will have to go onto Edge's website and download the fusion software if you don't already have it on your personal computer (PC). The fusion software is the program that allows you to transfer things to your CTS unit from your PC. The fusion software may also be on the disk that came with the CTS. I can't remember. Then you download the newest version of the CTS software to your computer (It's Free). Then transfer it from your PC to the CTS via the USB cord.

Not really that hard to do. Just takes some time to do it.
