Alright guys, just got an update from Edge about a Major update. Here it is:

It says it's a major update to ALL CS/CTS units, but then goes on to say it has enhanced PIDs for Cummins, Hemi, and Jeep owners. So i assume all units get something out of the updated, but the Cummins, Hemi, and Jeep units will be getting something "extra" that the rest wont?

Oh and also, i noticed the other day my custom tune gear ratio is set to 3.31, but I have 3.73's. My speedometer seems to be reading correct though, anyone have a thought on that? (Just to clarify, I have a Gryphon CTS)

 

My Edge does the same thing, it always shows 3.31's until i change it to 3.55.

 

My CS was showing 3.73 until I changed it to 3.55

 

Just remember if you have a CS/CTS from PHP along with custom tunes and want to update you'll need to contact Bill so he can reload your custom tunes on edges server.

 

Sounds like useless clutter to me. This is a vehicle programmer, not a general purpose computer. Use a friggin; spreadsheet to track all that other crap - most folks who have one of these already own a 'puter or three.....

It also sounds like they are (still) ignoring the things still missing that the previous modesl had. ( I'm not gonna rehash it here - y'all can just go search for it).

IMHO - I would rather see them address the core functionality and UI improvements to reduce all the confusion with settings - and from all of the posts related to this, don't tell me folks is not confuded - (additional pop-up help screens where needed, sanity-checking for inappropriate data inputs, entry of TS / GR in ony ONE place, etc), than go off on this dumb tangent.

Learn to walk before you run, Edge. What - you trying to emulate Microsoft?

I totally agree MGDfan.......

It like getting the fluff with no stuff!

 

Thank-you!

Back on subject: I would not be in a hurry to do a firmware update here. This is NOT like the email addressed specifically to me that I got telling me about an update that improved the longevity of the LCD screen. This seems much more vehicle "non-specific" or, seems to be improving how the programmer works with vehicles we don't have. I don't intend to apply the update.

If it bothers you though, call Edge Tech Support. Tell them you have an Edge CS/CTS in an f150 and you want to know if the update is something you should apply. (Don't mention the word "Gryphon" here - it tends to confuse them.)

And, as 88Racing said, if you DO apply the update, Bill will have to reload your custom tunes on the Fusion server after you do it (if you have custom tunes.)

So did either of you guys notice any difference when switching it? Maybe I should give Bill a call and see if he knows the reason for the strange gear ratio numbers.

I don't know if either of you guy's have had any first-hand experience with the new line of programmers, but they are quite straight-forward to use. The tire size and gear ratio settings are adjustable from an easy-to-access screen and the tire size allows you to adjust based on multiple measurement formats, all of which is followed up by a friendly little screen that informs you on what has been/needs to be done to complete the changes. Maybe good 'ole MGD just can't handle this new fangled technology? ...only kidding MGD, I agree there are still things that need to be changed.

I'd really like to see that average fuel mileage PID...

Thanks, guys, for pointing out that Bill will have to reload the tunes, I'm sure some will forget that and i forgot to mention it. Should probably also mention that you need to switch back to the stock tune before updating. Would hate for anyone to have to go through the hassle of recovering a PCM.

Oh and Jack, I agree that it is probably not that important of an update for us. I might decide to give Edge a call, but will probably just hold off.

 

I cant notice a difference at all when i change it from 3.31 to 3.55

 

No reason to call. The update is for GM calibrations:

 

The only change you'd see would be in speed indications. It SHOULD make your speedometer read slower (about 7% I think) compared to the 3.31 setting. Depending on your speed, you may not notice that at all.

Have you checked to see what ratio yours is at Jack? Does it match up with your correct gears by default or did you have to switch it manually? My speedo seems to be reading correctly, and you would think 3.31 compared to 3.73 would make a pretty significant difference in speedo accuracy.

 

That is not the update in question shotgunz. The one we are discussing is GOING to be released some time this month. The one you posted up was released in September it appears. At least that's what I gathered from the email I received and the picture you posted up.

 

I believe you are correct. As far as I can tell, the update in the email i received is not out as of yet...unless shotgunz knows something we don't?
