I think, from what I've read, that upgrading from an Edge to a Gryphon costs like $30, plus and extra amount (have to talk to PHP) for each custom tune.

They are taking preorder deposites PENDING the release in July. So its July and the release has not happened JUST YET. I read the notice in orange that Groovy Chick put on there and that's what it sounds like to me. Turn your DEPOSITE in to get your place in line to make sure they have enough programmers to meet the demand.

When Groovy Chick posts that they ARE available then they are avaialable. The only thing I have seen her post is that they are getting the cable issue resolved and getting close to releasing the 97-03 gryphon back to the market.

When you upgrade the Edge, you send it in, along with the OBDII cable. PHP will recase the unit and flash new firmware into it. This turns it into a Gryphon. They will also load the custom tunes you order into it before sending it back. AND, they will check your cable to be sure it is not one of the ones that is prone to failure. If it is, it would have to be replaced.

You can get an estimate of the time it will take to have your unit converted when you call them. I think they are trying to get the "conversion units" programmed and returned on a faster schedule than an ordinary tune request, since they know they are tying up your unit.

There was a time when they were swamped with orders and that led to long delays. Bill has gotten past most of that hump now and I think the wait might be 4-6 weeks (but don't hold me to that figure - I could be all wrong).

They stopped doing all upgrades for those MY's until Edge worked out the cable problem. They also stopped selling new Gryphons for those MY's for the same reason. They continued to support any previously converted or sold Gryphons.

I don't think you really want to ship your unit to them yet, because they're going to keep it until it can be converted. And before you do, please take the time to read this page carefully: http://dygytalworld.ehost-services13...p/Upgrade.html Notice you MUST return your truck to stock! The link to the order form is on this page too.

At the end of the order form is a box for your electronic signature. When you click on it, you will be given the opportunity to use and existing digital ID or to create a new one. It's all pretty obvious if you just read through the form and let your mouse hover over any of the input boxes.
