Quick question about the Edge. Does it always need to be plugged in, or can you plug in, install tune, and unplug like other handhelds?

The only time I can see myself wanting it in the dash is when towing.

Thanks!

Yes, you can do as you ask. Makes more sense if you don't have a dash pod.

Once the truck is tuned, you can unplug it until you want to use it again. A tune literally is just a computer file so once it's uploaded to the truck, just gonna stay there until you change it.

That's a good idea! Especially if thieves see it in your truck they could break in and still it. Can't trust anyone now a days!

May I ask why you wish to remove it? I love having the extra gauges and being able to read any DTCs. It's the main reason I picked the Edge as well. It's more bang for your buck getting used all the time instead of getting tossed in the glove box.

Personally, I don't care for the looks of it. They did a nice job with the pod, but it doesn't look factory enough for me. I don't have it yet, but I don't plan on running it in the pod.

Also, I think the information it displays is only going to be useful when towing or making long trips. As mentioned a few posts earlier, it could be tempting for someone if it is in plain sight when my truck is parked anywhere.

Mine is unplugged and in the center console. I had it out and watched it for 6 months or so, got tired of it and couldn't find a clean factory looking mount for it. Now it's only out to adjust my tunes.
