That $489 is only if he gets 3 custom tunes. He can just get the gryphon, which is an edge unit for the $399, then subtract the $30 discount. He'll be at $369 for an edge/gryphon, and still have the option to upgrade later. Only $10 more then what you'll pay online for an edge.
OR, use that $30 discount as a free tune, and get one custom tune. Drive around with the gryphon canned tunes for a couple months, then once your custom tune arrives, load and go.

If I was looking to buy an edge, I would do one of the two above. Makes more sense, and will save you money in the future.

 

Thanks for the info JNC and XPerties. Yeah, I'm only getting 2 tunes at the most. So if you need 3 for the $489 deal, then I'd pass. When does the $30 off offer end? I'll have to checkout PHP next week when I have a chance. See if it really is cheaper.

 

You don't have to get any custom tunes when you first order. You can run the canned tunes on the gryphon for as long as you want. A gryphon starts it's life as an edge, so you still have the same options as you would if you bought the edge. Gryphon just overs a couple more options.
I'm almost 100% that you will still get the $30 off with just the gryphon purchase. If you're going to get an edge, might as well spend the couple bucks extra and get the gryphon so you have the option to get custom tunes later down the road.

 

I have a couple more questions. It says on the PHP website that the Gryphon is black. Even if you mail them the default grey Edge for upgrading, they switch the case to black. Why do they do this and is it possible to get a gryphon without changing the case? Also, is the entire pod black or just the gryphon it self?

Thanks

 

No, just the case of the Gryphon is black. For your model year truck, the pod would be the slate grey color that is a near perfect match with the slate grey dashboard.

They switch the case so it is known to be "rebranded". That way Bill can write custom tunes for it. Edge will not allow their units to be custom tuned, so they can maintain 50-state emmissions certification.

Ahh I see. Would rather it be grey but makes since why they change it. Thanks for the info.

 

AutoAnything has dropped their Edge price back down to $349 now.

 

I am thinking about buying an edge from a buddy of mine. What do i have to do to get it to work on my truck? he has already set his truck to stock and it is ready to go in mine but i am afraid to just plug it in. do i have to reset the programmer so it knows its in a new truck? or when i plug it in will it automatically know its a new truck and just start over?

 

What year was your buddy's truck? I notice you have a '97. You need the older model Edge. If it's one of those, and it's at stock, you should be able to simply plug it in and have fun.

Just purchased a edge evo today from autoanything for 349.20 free shipping suppose to be here tomorrow CANT WAIT

 

umm i am not sure of the year off the top of my head. He said the model number for the programmer is 15050. i looked it up and it says 1997-2003? and yes he said he already put his truck back to stock. If for some reason it isnt at stock like he says, what will i have to do?
