Setting up Edge cts 3

Do I need to unplug from obd2 to turn the monitor off? How?

Tom it should shut off by automatically when the truck shuts off. Mine usually shuts off about 1-2 seconds after the truck.

Sometimes it will get confused and stay on when it shouldn't be. I will usually just unplug and re-plug and that fixes it.

Also smart to connect the CTS3 to a computer and check for firmware updates. Mine had quite a few which helped fix some other nuisance issues. It can supposedly do updates over Wifi but I've not been able to get that to work.

Is your CTS3 a programmer or only a scanner? (thinking of upgrade to a CTS3 , run actually a CTS2 programmer since 2018 with Gearhead tune)

Hartwig, mine is a scanner only as well. I've got the standard version:

What I like about the Edge CTS2 and CTS3 is the large screen. To my knowledge, Gearhead no longer offers tunes for the Edge devices. Now I'm looking for alternatives....
