Just got my edge in the mail and it is version E3 13.14a, manufactured 3/16/06. I've read the 20 pages of old posts on updating and such, and I don't know whether it would be worth my time to update. I would have to travel to a friends house to use his internet becuase I don't want to take a chance with our dial up. Those you can answer this question please respond, and please don't tell me to use the search feature, because I've read until I can't read no more.

Thanks for your time,

Your Edge has firmware version 13 and calibration 14a. There have been several updates since then. Here's what each new firmware version and calibration added/fixed:

Firmware Updates
• v14 (03/01/2006)
o Fixed [Display] -> [Setup] menu when changing AMPG or IMPG display selections.
o Fixed problem with Timing Adjust where value was stored incorrectly in EEPROM.
o Fixed data type conversion problem which could cause values to be stored or applied incorrectly.
o Fixed issues where "Reset MPG" would come up when unit was restarted due to the [Enter] key being held down. We now wait for the key to be released before proceeding.
• v15 (03/04/2006)
o Now check for HEX code up to 3 times during bootup to help eliminate 0xF1 Error codes.
o Corrected "A" character in Times9R font.
• v16 (03/06/2006)
o Fixed calculation error on 1-2, 2-3 & 3-4 shift pressures which caused stalling/stumbling during shifts.
• v17 (04/05/2006)
o Custom Options now determine correct Tire Size and Gear Ratio from VID block instead of flash.
o Added redundant checks for "HEX" identifier during bootup. This will help reduce 0xF1 errors.

Calibration Updates
• v15a (02/15/2006)
o Readdress issue with 1-2 WOT shift hitting Rev Limiter.
o Adjust 2-1 shift at WOT to prevent downshift above 37 MPH.
o Address “Shudder/Clunk” issue at light throttle.
o Adjust downshift pressures to make them less aggressive.
• v16a (03/01/2006)
o Address P1205 / P1233 DTC on 4.6L vehicles.
o Fixed custom option issue on some 2004 trucks where engine idle would be unusually high (about 1600 RPM) after changing "Idle Speed" under the custom options.
• v17a (03/04/2006)
o Recompile of all calibration files due to possibility of corruption of some files.

You can find the above information here.

It's your choice, but I think it would be worthwhile to update your Edge.

 

Drove out to my friends last night to update, and forgot the update cable, but it's a good thing those things are so common because my friend had a spare. I downloaded the full lightning version, then the drivers, and had to install the new hardware wizard twice, but when I was all done it said that everything was sucessful and I'm up to date. I guess I did everything right, and thanks for the help.


Do you all have any other tips that the manual doesn't cover that a new edge user should know about?
