Agreed on that, and I wish the Insight did IPR%. Still, I was able to diagnose an HPO leak simply by watching how long the ICP took to build up after the engine had sat for a while. In fact the leak was so slow that it couldn't be deteced by the shop air test, nor by the IPR%. But I could see the difference in how long the ICP took to purge air. But you're right, we sure would like to have IPR% available. I'm hoping that Edge will listen and add it to a future firmware release.

Edge finally got the FICM V in... IPR% is the last 'critical gauge we're missing. While Edge is changing the firmware they need to get rid of the Power Level: I box.... that's the one thing I hate the most about the CTS

And after all those complaints, they took a step backward from the old model Insight. On it I could have 4 pages, with 8 gauges each, and I could scroll between the 4 pages with a single button. So effectively I had 32 different things I could monitor. Had trouble figuring out what to do with them all. And now we've only got a max of 8 on just one page. Why the hell did they reduce the capabilities?

How hard could it be to add some more options to the screen.... really, put 3 more PIDS where the power level box is is. Turn the power level arrows into page flippers and have more than one screen. Have an option that poking a gauge on the CTS cycles through a list of PIDs assigned to that location, kind of like the buttons on a scangauge. Put a 4 (or only 2) analog sweep option in.
Just little customizations that make the box more yours and less factory. That's the whole point of buying from Edge anyways.

I've seen trucks FICM voltage dip during the initial injector buzz. For instance my bosses truck did this. He has bad hard starts white smoke that smelled of fuel heavy. His only issue was the FICM voltage dipped to 25 volts during the initial buzz. FICM fixed and it starts fine now.

They have officially said no more updates for the legacy Insight.

I also have my old insight on a shelf that I'd still be using if it could read ficm voltage. Never had a problem with it. But the CTS well I've been on the phone with Edge for freezing while loading then two beeps with a black screen. They fixed those problems but now my screen is flickering.

I had the old one and it never worked right, got new ones from them and still problems...well years later I tried again and got the CST. Yes you have to buy a new EGT adapter. But like it and hadn't had any issues.
I wish you could see more then 8 things but have it on analog gage and have alarm set for other things not on screen and it will go off if out of range.Nice to see max's but wish you could chose which ones.
I bought the CTS for bigger screen and wanted (and got) the back up camera.
My wife got me the outside temp gage adapter for like $30 but to hook up you need to buy the other adapter for $150 (list prise) to use it..kinda lame.
But plain on getting the Fuel pressure next.
I had a friend who was having issues with starting and I told him if he came over we could see if his FCIM was low by putting on his truck...never did, but thats what it was he found out later.
So yes i think it was worth it to me for the $$$
