Without users like yourself thinking of ways to improve it (weither the ideas be great for everybody or just yourself or just really crappy ideas) the Edge will not continously improve. So dude...call them up and explain your ideas. Who knows, they might incorporate some of them into the next release.
Like I said, I did send them an email. AND, I didn't like the brief, closed answer I got. SO.....
I came here, to 'help' them 'understand' the market... blah blah blah..
And pretty much all I got was a bunch of guys tryin to tell me how dumb I am, and how I have no clue how the Edge works.
BTW... I am very glad you were able to articulate your(lol... MY) point so well. Thanks for 'getting' what I was trying to accomplish....

Also I wasn't refering to Troyer tunes at all. I was refering to the XCalII device. Leave it to some people to add words inbetween the lines they are trying to read from.
Peace out...I'm done on this particular issue in this thread. Dont' want this to turn into a Troyer vs Edge Thread..which I had no intention of getting into.

So your comparison is really not valid. That's due to being uniformed - in this instance, about the feature set in the Xcal2.
BTW - I never mentioned Troyer - you did. So your comments w.r.t. that are also out of line.
But, I'm heartened to know my comments on perfection, reliability and safety are recognized as being synonymous with his work !
Just sayin'

Most of us aren't being defensive. We are just trying to do understand what you were trying to say in your first post. Also trying to help a fellow Edger understand his product. Honestly, it came across in your first post that you didn't have the slightest clue how to use your Edge. But now I think we are all on the same page.

Perhaps, I should start over.....

You did good.
You should be able to 'cull' your requirements form all the responses here - even mine
.It would indeed be great if the Edge guys, who surely continue to troll here, would just post their stance.
Over @ SCT, for example, folks are forever giving their *cough* feedback & they at least DO listen & even respond with rationale. Where's the Edge equivalent to this ? - it could well be here if they so chose....

So many of your current customers would LOVE to be able to upgrade our Edge to allow for More Tunes... and yes... IF ONE COULD BE CUSTOM, I KNOW I"D PAY AN ADDITIONAL 150 BUCKS or so to "upgrade my current device.
Example:
1.) Transmission Tune
2.) Towing 87 oct
3.) Towing 93 oct
4.) Performance 87 oct
5.) Performance 91 oct
6.) Performance 93 oct
7.) Custom Tune
8.) My Default Tune
That would make this device THE PREMIUM TUNER!!!!!!!

1. Didn't read the instruction manual enough to know how to change octane levels in tunes
2. A user who wanted the Edge to do some custom tuning.

mmm.. astute observation.
You'll note the email is from tuesday...
Maybe I should have prefaced the post with "I quickly become an expert in using anything computer within hours."
I am SO sure that would've made such a difference.. but whatever.
As you can tell.... I no longer have any motivation to endure further explanation... it's not really my strong suite anyway.
