Downloadable from their site? Does the unit come with software for my PC?

Don't tease. If that's true Edge again makes me do this:

The unit does not come with the PC software (called Lightning), you have to download it from the EDGE website. It is free. The updates to the Evolution are accomplished using the Lightning software. The sotware is free as are the updates.

I'm happy, I won't need to buy a Scangauge. Now my lowly FX4 can have some of the Lariat features!

Hey kd4crs,

You sound pretty confident about this update including the instant MPG reading. Can you tell us what you heard and who you heard it from? Thanks!

I was contacted directly by an engineer at EDGE. I would rather not publicly name the individual to keep him from being deluged with emails, questions, and requests. He was kind enough to let me know they are going to add these features in response to customer requests. I just wanted to let the folks here know what is coming.

CCRider,

Did you see the latest TRP coupon? Use "eef2400jan06" and it will save you more than the regular "edge" coupon. It is actually pretty close to the group buy price.
