In modern diesel performance, knowledge isn't just power—it's protection. Whether you're towing heavy loads, fine-tuning a boosted-up turbocharged setup, or just trying to keep your truck healthy on long hauls, proper monitoring of your engine is critical. That’s where the Edge Insight CTS3 comes in. More than just a digital gauge, it’s a comprehensive, all-in-one monitoring solution that has evolved to meet the needs of enthusiasts who demand more control, more data, and more reliability.

The Backstory: From Digital Pioneer to Industry Standard

Edge Products helped change the game in the late 2000s when the company released the original Insight CTS, one of the first digital monitor displays to offer real-time engine data on a touchscreen. Designed for diesel and gas truck owners who wanted better visibility into their vehicle’s vitals, it quickly became a staple for towing and performance communities alike.

But the Insight didn’t stop evolving. Drawing from years of customer feedback gathered from forums, installers, and events like SEMA, Edge completely overhauled the platform—starting from scratch to create a faster, smarter, and more customizable tool. The result were the CTS2 and the Insight CTS3 (Color Touch Screen, 3rd Generation).

One Device, Endless Capability

The Insight CTS3 isn’t a tuner, but it might be the most powerful device you can add to your truck without changing the tune. (Note: preloaded tuning is available on the Evolution CTS3, read on) It gives you access to critical engine data—like EGTs, boost pressure, transmission temps, intake temps, and regen status—all through your OBDII port. This allows you to [callout}catch potential problems before they become expensive repairs. It also integrates seamlessly with Edge tuner modules like the Pulsar, giving you real-time control and visibility from a single, sleek display.

Digital Gauge Layouts Made for Enthusiasts

Right out of the box, the CTS3 features a clean and detailed digital gauge layout. You’ll find live readouts for everything from RPM and boost to coolant temp, fuel rail pressure, and gear selection. But it doesn’t stop there. You can fully customize the layout, change gauge styles, add or remove PIDs, and even upload your own background wallpaper. It’s like turning your dash into a digital cockpit—tailored specifically for your setup.

Powerful Datalogging and Diagnostics

Need to troubleshoot an issue or dial in a tune? The CTS3 offers robust datalogging functionality, recording OBDII data that can be reviewed later with Edge’s DataViewer software. Instead of hauling around a laptop, you can monitor trends, identify trouble spots, and save logs—all from the driver's seat.

The CTS3 also serves as a code reader and clearer. If your check engine light pops on, the CTS3 will show you the trouble codes and let you clear them on the spot—no tools, no panic.

Built-In Performance Testing

Want to measure the effects of your latest upgrade? The CTS3 includes 0–60, 0–100, ⅛-mile, and ¼-mile acceleration measuring, complete with a Christmas tree light launch sequence. It’s an ideal tool for before-and-after comparisons, tuning refinements, or just showing off. It also includes pitch and roll meters, making it equally valuable for off-road and towing applications.

The Ultimate Regen Cycle Solution

One of the most frustrating parts of owning a modern diesel is dealing with the DPF (diesel particulate filter) regeneration cycle. Most trucks will attempt to regen automatically, but short trips or inconvenient timing can interrupt the process. After several failed attempts, your truck may enter limp mode or require a costly trip to the dealership for a manual regeneration.

Just tap and let the system do its thing. It’s loud, it’s hot, and it works. And that one feature alone can justify the cost of the unit for many truck owners.
