Edge owners: Tuning thread

Well the Edge is perched right next to two windows, which if memory serves... glass is not the best insulator in single pane applications. All of the other electronics are tucked into the dash. I would venture a guess that being next to the two major heat sinks (ie windows) slows the response time. Also, how many other electronic devices in the truck have small LCD screens? I know that on the real cold days, my radio also is slow to respond. Simple current running through a cold substrate is one thing... when you are throwing hot electricity into the liquid crystals that have a much lower temperature than the typical operating parameters, performance will definitely suffer.

Rich,
I was just joking with you, as I live in Southern California where we don't get below 40F in the winter (if that) I feel for you guys.
But while we're on the subject, I don't remember any mention of LCD screens in your post, you stated "Electronics". (another bad joke on my part, I guess I'm in a Smart A** mood. Stay warm, it was ~ 65F here today...

When I do that, I lose the average MPG and sometimes the screen turns a different color. Sometimes when I shut off the vehicle, the screen will stay illuminated and eventually might rund down the battery. Luckily I caught it after a couple hours after seeing a green glow coming form my truck.

Does anyone know if starting the truck with a autostart without the display in will cause problems?

Edge
I don't understand why one should have to take their Edge in every night. I don't have to remove my radio, remote start, or any other electronics every time the temps drop below 20*.
Today my truck did not start for some dumb *** reason! I went to work this morning with no problems, left at lunch and shut off my truck but changed from level 3 to level 2 before getting out. After about an hour I went to start the truck and it turned over a little slow and my gauges went crazy. I went for a short ride then went to restart the vehicle and it was dead, again gauges went crazy. I returned program to stock and still nothing so I got a jump start. The rest of the day everything has been fine.
WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!

edged
i have had the edge now for a few days. out of the box i had some issues but after talking w/edge tech we got it narrowed down to the tire size not programmed correctly. but i must say wow!!! i have the unit set on level 2 and so far could not be happier.
cant wait to try out level 3 when this tank of 87 is empty.
one draw back i find is i cant seem to keep my foot off the go pedal..
love this thing...

bcoates,
Yes I had to pull mine out because of problems. Before I pulled it I set it back to the stock program and the truck runs OK. I contacted both the dealer and Edge Products. The dealer stated that they would refund my money but I decided to return it to Edge. Haven't heard anything back so far... not sure if I will reinstall it if/when I get it back.
The truck ran like crap and it scared the crap out of me, thinking I screwed up my new Screw.
