97-03 Edge Evolution Alpha/Beta testers
I tried disconnecting all other USBs and tried the other USB ports too..and still nothing. I don't see how it can be a USB issue though, because when I connect the unit it makes that sound, letting you know that something is connected.

My question is, how much can I safely advance the timing? I once heard 1 degree for every octane, but don't remember where I heard that.
Also, I raised the shift firmness 5 between each gear. Is anyone running more than that?

To me it is a great improvement over stock! The 1-2 shift is definitely a lot firmer. I may increase the others more. You will be able to tell the difference, but the shifts aren't firm enough to feel like the truck is slamming into gear. My girlfriend noticed a difference, so if she noticed it I know it made a huge difference.

All USB ports on a PC are not created equal. Certain devices might only work with a certain USB ports. I know it is hard to believe but it is true. The USB ports directly wired to the motherboard, that is native to the hardware itself are the ones I would try. Some PC's with multiple USB ports actual have a internal hub to allow more USB ports say to the front of the case and more on the rear of the case.
How about another PC ?
hey does ANYBODY besides me on the beta testing team have big tires and or regear?
ive found a glitch in the software . . talked to a techie but havent reached rob yet . . trying to figure out if this is an isolated case for me or if everyones experiencing it. then again from looking at everyones profiles i think i may be the only one wtih a lifted truck

zaairman hvae you been able to confirm your readings with a GPS? it seems that no matter if you set your circumference to lower or higher than the magic number, it still reads your speedo faster (EX - me going 70 at 2000 rpms as verified by friend's GPS a while ago; setting edge for low and high circumference and still having it read 75 mph at 2000 rpms regardless of setting high and low . . . [intuitively, setting a higher tire number lowers the speedo reading and setting a lower tire number increases the false speedo reading])
aghhhhh. techs also told me we are still in beta and distributors, while they are supplied, arent authorized for sale . . . and they are still selling . . wtf over

just go back into level 3 or whatever you picked and ask it to tune, then itll ask you if you want to edit custom programming options
i really hate it because it has to completely redo the programming. probably because thats the way the PCM needs to be edited

If you remember my other posts, mine would not finish the initialization process. Never had even once, before or after we sent back to Rob. I talked to regular tech support and they determined my unit was faulty and sent me a replacement, took my credit card info for security in the event I do not send the failed one back.
Also want everybody to know that in my opinion Edge tech support is excellent.
Now for my question:
Lost Pup and others, do I need a key and what would I do with it if I had it? I never lost my stock tune, and I assume the key would give me the ability to enter a mode that would allow me to restore the stock tune if I had lost it?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Randy
