But this reminds me to call edge back ...

As I recall, we group purchased something like 60 of these. Many of those were next day shipped to people and I'm sure they have been driving them around for a while now. How about a few more of you chime in with your thoughts on the new boxes? Mine has yet to arrive
Not as many "Oh my god, this thing is awesome!" statements as I had thought there would be. Or is everyone to busy playing with their new toy to review it?

I received my Edge on Saturday, but because of the holiday I didn't even open the box until yesterday. I had it installed and on the street in about 15 minutes, and I'm in the group of people who think this thing is AWESOME! Easy to install, works great, great price, what more could you ask for! My truck drives like it should have in the first place. What a great toy!

Waiting now for the Edge people to give us a softcopy PDF of the manual. That would be great.

OK, If anybody has trouble getting there edge to connect to their computer let me know. Just got off the phone with a tech and he walked me through it. He said there is an issue with the software and there working on a fix. Some work fine while some don't. The ones that don't you just have to follow a different set of directions to install the drivers.

I've already posted how much I like this thing, but I just wanted to throw out something for any Ford people that have occasion to browse this website. I have been driving around the last few days and have been monitoring the Engine Oil Temp, Coolant Temp, Intake Air Temp, and Trans Temp. How hard or expensive would it be to just add the same features to a vehicle that say has the tow package. The sensors are already there, it's just a matter of a means of broadcasting the information through some means on the dash. Anyone who tows would value the above information.
Also, I had no idea how much longer it takes the engine oil temp to come up. The coolant temp will come up to normal long before the oil temp. Good to know when towing or going WOT. Explains why the fuel mileage goes down in winter. Takes alot longer for the oil to warm up.
Just some thoughts since driving around with the unit on the dash.
Have fun with yours.

Edge engineers, what do you think?

However, there is one feature I'd really like to see Edge Products add: an instantaneous MPG readout (similar to the ScanGuage).
I took a 400 mile trip over the weekend, unpluged the edge and pluged in my scanguage just for the trip computer and mpg readout.
Sure would be nice if my Edge Evolution had a trip computer.
Hint. Hint.

I have had a little trouble with my unit...when i installed it it came back with an error code 0xF1... i just got in touch with edge tech support and they will have to customize a program for me...i wonder if they will put this as an update... they said it may be something to do with the year and fx4's??? i have no idea what that means but no beta testers has this problem.. i hope they hurry up so i can tune my truck. all i have been able to do is monitor the gauges on it and play with the colors... anyone else have this problem??
