Thanks for the review. We love to see honest reviews and what customers think about the products. A few things for you I wanted to mention. - We are working on more fixes/updates for things like gauges taking a minute to load randomly and monitor staying on randomly. Also, Mileage Coach software will be added but we wanted to get the main features out first then update with those other features. Thanks for the ideas on the power off button and Bluetooth/wifi to phone for photos. We have heard of those and put them in a wish list from customers to see what is possible down the road. Lastly, the EFI SOTF for Cummins is more an intellectual property concern with EFI and us. We tried to work with them and things didn't work out right so we are not able to do it that way.
Thank you for watching and responding I hope it didn't come off too negative because the unit is an amazing unit but it's just a few things I had on my mind
@@duffdoesstuff I don't think your missing it, I think they are still working on getting the bugs worked out so they can work on getting some of those features back to us.
Will the CTS3 leave a foot print in my 2020 F350 Ford dealer will see? I am just looking for a Monitor at this point. They saw the my CTS2 obviously because it is a tuner as well. I had a great experience with this unit BTW 👍🏻. Thank you
Thank you for an honest review.I just bought my first deisel 3 weeks ago.I got a 2006 Ram 2500 5.9 So far I removed factory exhaust and replaced with a 4 " magnaflow.Installed an S&B cold air intake and an edge evolution cts3 we first hooked it to the truck and the truck wouldn't crank Finally got the truck to factory reset.We went to work and started over dealing with edge tech support which were no help at all.My son finally was able to get it working but now I'm afraid to mess with anything.I love it because I only have factory guages now I can see more.
I have a set of the glow shift gauges and even with them set to night mode they are pretty blinding at night. I contemplated putting a switch in to just shut them off at night.
Some do and some don't, I believe there is an add on that allows you to change tunes but I'm more of a fan of having the 5 position switch in the truck
Can you please explain how to hook up to WiFi hotspot on phone. I tried with 3 different phones for about a hour and it kept saying error on the monitor
I believe the reason the ct3 is $399 VS the cts2 $729 is the evolution is a tuner, not just a monitor like the cts3 insight. I'd much rather have the 3 but wanted a tuner
U can unlock the cts3 with the addition of some addon components to be capable of loading tunes essentially making it and evolution but can't say for certain if it purely for custom tunes/calibration only or if u have the ability to use edges generic preprogrammed tunes I believe it's called the edge revolver is the addon to make ur insight cts3 load tunes
@@Cargill450 yea unfortunately at a not so pretty price tag there boost sensor EAS is kinda a joke retail price for it using all the same parts including the same isspro sensor they use delphi 3pin and more wire then needed for uder 90-95 and that's buying buying singles so u know buying bulk at wholesale thier cost is a hell of alot cheaper.
The one thing I did because I knew the eas boost setup was going to be so much, I went with a 10 bar map sensor to get an accurate boost reading and it gave my tuner more data to make a better file.
Im having a problem changing the colors under theme settings. Every time i change the bar color or any of the other choices i have a option to hit back or customize then save. When i hit either the color goes straight to black EVERY-TIME. It has worked before but all the sudden has started doing this. Do you have any suggestions or heard about this issue?
@@Cargill450 maybe you could give me some insight (pun intended) Got an issue- been running a raceme eco tune for about 7 months now with no issues. Defaults timing default trans settings. I just got my edge cts3 insight these last couple days. Set up the monitor yesterday and had my first drive with the truck to work today. When getting onto the highway Truck seemed to be completely gutless and would not up shift past fourth if I wasn’t going faster than maybe 50mph, rpm would sit around 2500 rpm. Any ideas if the monitor is interfering with the tune or maybe something else? I have a 400 mile road trip Saturday and need this truck asap
Thanks for sharing mine does it too with it turning on after it shut off it happened 3 times to me and it had froze on me like 8 times had to unplug it then connect it again i agree efi live would be nice to switch on the CTS3 also.would have been nice for edge to throw in the back up camera adapter for free when they release it I do love it though nice upgrade from the cts2 thanks again for sharing your review
I really appreciate that, that update that I did in the video was actually a pretty big one so hopefully some of those problems are fixed but no disrespect to edge but these are the joys of running the first batch products, I know they did alot of R&D on the thing but you never know what might pop up once they hit the streets
Great Video man! I'm in the market for one of these for my LBZ Duramax... I'm contemplating on the Edge CTS3 but I've read so many bad reviews... not only on the Edge website but also on numerous other dealer websites... I'm curious to know if you still feel the same about this product now that some time has passed??? Any "Insight" would help... Thanks man!!
So for me it's great, yes it has its moments where it does some stupid stuff buy the data is there, it reacts quick when it's not messing up and the screen is alot nicer to have on at night compared to the cts 2. So I am still happy with it but at the same time I do feel like they could have done a little better, the cts2 has features that the cts3 doesn't have, nothing serious but the mileage coach that the cts2 had was fun to have at times. They are actively working on fixing the bugs but I'm guessing they didn't expect so many.
Would this monitor be worthwhile on a stock(no plans to tune) 2019 ram 3500 H.O. currently towing a fifth wheel occasionally. Btw I like your reviews, not too many out there especially for the rams. Oh,, and your truck looks awsome,
Thank you!! I would say absolutely, the big thing for me with these diesel trucks is knowing what is going on with them even if they are stock, for instance even a pulling a pass with a stock truck and a trailer can go bad pretty quick. It would be good to be able to watch coolant temp, trans temp and egt and setting the alerts accordingly, also with the new trucks like yours you can watch regen data so you know what its doing
@@Cargill450 thanks for the quick reply. I'm kind of on the fence about purchasing one, and researching everything I can. So far you're the only one with real time experience that I've heard from who owns a ram. Thanks for the info, and if you could show us a video of it working in a real time sutuation. Ie driving unloaded and under different scenarios.
Tow mirrors are out. Every time I see a Ram unloaded and not towing with their tow mirrors out, I want to chase them down and smack them with a fly swatter. Solid video though!
Haha yea I understand that one, I had them down for a really long time but after running them up for a little bit I found that I can see alot better with them up. It used to pass me off to see people who left them up but honestly I get it now.
I run with them up while not towing, and down while not towing. One: the frog mirror is in the wrong spot, and I can barely see to the end of the bed. Two, with them down, I can see where my trailer's wheels are in turns, etc. I don't need to see the top of my trailer, there's nothing up there, and I know how high it is. Just my opinion, but I know some people wig out over mirrors being up.

Cargill450 It was great. And we like honest feedback. Thanks for taking the time to do a review.
Do you know when the mileage coach software will be added? Or at least a way to check mpg? Is it already there and I'm missing it?

Thank you for watching and that truck is going to be a really good setup 👌 I bet your pretty happy with it
@@Cargill450 I'm a 50 year old kid right now.I get up in the morning and can't wait to fire it off.
I have a set of the glow shift gauges and even with them set to night mode they are pretty blinding at night. I contemplated putting a switch in to just shut them off at night.
I have never had a set but have been around them a little bit, I could see them being too bright.
Excellent review!
Thank you im glad you enjoyed it!!
So does this tune the truck at all? I’ve seen that feature in the corner of the screen but I’ve heard it can’t actually tune the truck
Some do and some don't, I believe there is an add on that allows you to change tunes but I'm more of a fan of having the 5 position switch in the truck
Can you please explain how to hook up to WiFi hotspot on phone. I tried with 3 different phones for about a hour and it kept saying error on the monitor
Absolutely I can do that
@@Cargill450 i was told my edge that hotspot on a phone wasn’t strong enough to pair? But you update yours through your phones hotspot rite?
Is it normal for mine to turn off as soon as I put it in gear and start driving ?
Not at all.....
I believe the reason the ct3 is $399 VS the cts2 $729 is the evolution is a tuner, not just a monitor like the cts3 insight.

First thing I would do is check for updates on your monitor then go from there, if you update it and it still doesn't work let me know
@@Cargill450 Updated it and now it works!
Nice!! I need to update mine now 😅
Bro where did you get that bad ass grill.
Still having issues with the monitor staying on after vehicle off?
It will do it every once in a while but not much
@@Cargill450 is there anything I need to do to run this monitor with a tune that’s already on the truck or would it be fine just plug and play?
@sickmansgas483 if you just but the monitor and not “with attitude” it will be fine

@sickmansgas483 is it possible to leave the raceme plugged in too or atleast plug it back in to see if it goes back to normal
Very good life advice in the first minute or so
Great video very informative. What headlights are those? I’ve been looking for that style.
The headlights are spyder brand headlights I got them on Amazon.
Does that suction cup mount in your trick work for the cts2 also? If so, can you post the link to it here?
yes the suction cup mounts are the same for both of the monitors, here is the link

Each mirror flipped up is plus 5 hp
too much yapping, and 99% of the video showing your face, not the product....no thanks
