Where to update Edge?
I just bought a new truck and wanted to update my edge off of my 04 before I put it up for sale. I can't find anywhere on there website to let me update my unit? Any help is appreciated... I've been searching on here for about an hour and not having any luck. Thanks.

Surely you jest
http://www.edgeproducts.com/product_updates.php
Y'all need to download and install some software first. Windows pc required.
Return to STOCK before you sell it, or the new buyer is gonna get pissed

Worst-case - call Edge Tech support during bidness hours ... sometimes the FREE redneck podunk tech support available on here ain't so great

To the OP - if you plugged the Edge into your PC BEFORE installing Fusion, the PC will try to find and load drivers for it. They will be the wrong ones. You will need to uninstall both Fusion AND the drivers and then start over with a fresh Fusion install. Once that is on your PC, activate it BEFORE plugging in the Edge and the PC will install the correct drivers (maybe).

I understand that.... the only thing I find listed for drivers is under the Fusion file.. so I thought it may get deleted at the same time.... Does the edge need to be plugged in still to show the driver? Thanks.

A. In Windows XP:
1. Open [System Properties] by clicking on [Start]->[Control Panel] and then double click the "System" icon (or just use the [Windows]+[Pause/Break] shortcut).
2. Select the Advanced tab and click [Environment Variables].
3. Click [New] below the "System Variables" panel, which will bring up a "New System Variable" dialog box.
4. Type: devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices in the "Variable Name" text box (or copy and paste it from here) and then type "1" (without the quotes) in the "Variable Value" text box.
5. Click OK, note that this new variable appears in the System Variables list.
6. Click OK again to return to System Properties.
7. Click on the Hardware tab, then click on Device Manager.
8. Click on the View menu heading and then click on "Show Hidden Devices".
B. In Vista or Windows 7:2. Select the Advanced tab and click [Environment Variables].
3. Click [New] below the "System Variables" panel, which will bring up a "New System Variable" dialog box.
4. Type: devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices in the "Variable Name" text box (or copy and paste it from here) and then type "1" (without the quotes) in the "Variable Value" text box.
5. Click OK, note that this new variable appears in the System Variables list.
6. Click OK again to return to System Properties.
7. Click on the Hardware tab, then click on Device Manager.
8. Click on the View menu heading and then click on "Show Hidden Devices".
1. Go to [Control Panel] and double click "System" to open the System applet (or press [Windows]+[Pause/Break]).
2. In the left pane, you will see an "Advanced System Settings" link, click on that and then click the [Environment Variables] button that appears on the "Advanced" tab in System Properties.
3. Under the "System Variables" panel, click on [New].
4. In the "New System Variables" dialog box, type: devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices into the "Variable Name" text box (or copy and paste it from here) and then type "1" (without the quotes into the "Variable Value" text box.
5. Click OK.
6. The System Variables list should now show this new variable. Click OK again.
7. In the System Properties window, click OK.
8. Log off and log back on, again, you have to have "Administrator" privilages.
9. Open the "Device Manager" (Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager).
10 In the "View" menu, click on "Show Hidden Devices".
C. The device list will change at bit at this point. But here's where I'm not able to tell you what to look for. I THINK you want to look at the entry labeled "Ports (COM & LPT)" in the driver list which will likely appear "washed out". Expand that entry by clicking the "plus" (+) sign next to it. I'm guessing there may be an entry with the Edge or Fusion name here. If so, right click it. That should give you an "Uninstall" selection which you would choose. If you don't see such an entry, simply delete any entry there that appears "washed out". A washed out entry indicates devices that are not connected, so, DO NOT have your programmer connected to the PC at this time!2. In the left pane, you will see an "Advanced System Settings" link, click on that and then click the [Environment Variables] button that appears on the "Advanced" tab in System Properties.
3. Under the "System Variables" panel, click on [New].
4. In the "New System Variables" dialog box, type: devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices into the "Variable Name" text box (or copy and paste it from here) and then type "1" (without the quotes into the "Variable Value" text box.
5. Click OK.
6. The System Variables list should now show this new variable. Click OK again.
7. In the System Properties window, click OK.
8. Log off and log back on, again, you have to have "Administrator" privilages.
9. Open the "Device Manager" (Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager).
10 In the "View" menu, click on "Show Hidden Devices".
My programmer was converted to a PHP custom tuned device, so my drivers have that name in them.
Bill Cohron at PHP explained once that if a driver installation is faulty, Windows sets a flag that keeps you from getting a good install unless the faulty ones are removed. The proper drivers are included in the Fusion installation package.
I hope I haven't confused you with all this.

Thanks for everyones help. Your directions were spot on to delete the driver. Howerver, it appears my unit is to old to update and I would have to send it in to update it... so I guess I will just sell it for an 04-06 f150. Thanks again.
