[swivel]

That A2 looks sweet... wonder where you would mount it.

 

[JThiessen]

I'm fairly certain that its going to be ONLY for the 555 trucks. The 600 guys will have to "wait a couple months... ... "

 

[Fireman]

You mean, it's for the 600 trucks. Us with the 555s are SOL.

I wonder if they might market this as a "stand alone" without the "Juice"?

That way it would work with any truck

 

[Cummins4WD]

Yeah I'd be upset to finally get the new Attiltude w/ Juice only to hear that the A2 came out two weeks later. I think they are saying May but it should work with our 305/555s right... wasn't the issue with the Juice or something? Is the A1 Attitude for the 305s out yet?

 

[nickleinonen]

nice idea on the product, but the case is too styled... all one color in a more similar shape to the original A1 controller would look nicer i think

 

[ceaman]

sign me up for one..... it would change my idea bout buying the tst and get me to go to a edge

Fireman

No Kidding! I didn't realize that my truck was the most complex peice of equipment ever designed by mankind.

 

[Fireman]

AndyMan,



I fired that shot, and thought it went right over everyones head ! I see you got it. Man, I waited 18 months for the Juice before I gave up, and now over 2 yrs later the newer trucks got it, but we still don't ! Just DANG !

[Slicks]

Any idea on a ballpark price?

Fireman

Yep yep... it's got me quite concerned that they may not come to market with one for me. Since the 555's are old news, and were only produced for a year and a half, I wouldn't be suprised if we never saw a juice box for our trucks. I wish I could get away with telling my customers "next month" every four weeks for two years knowing that they would wait it out.





YEAH, I'm sour grapes! Don't y'all start with me!! MAN! the 600/610 guys havin' all the fun!

No way the jucie attitude has no chance aginst a TST EZ stack

 

[KLockliear]

1. The A2 will be compatible with all Juice products that Edge makes.

2. The A2 will simply be an upgrade option. The original Attitude is not going away.

3. The core A2 unit will offer a color display, graphics, the ability to show HP and Torque, the ability to display more features than the current Attitude. Also, it will have full GPS (maps and audio). We will offer an optional wireless back-up camera for customers that want that feature.

4. Edge is still locking down on the overall cost of the A2 as many of the components are cutting edge technology. They will finalize pricing in April, but expect that the cost for the core unit (everything EXCEPT the camera) will be between $1000-1200 at retail. The camera is expected to be a $250-300 upgrade.

 

[JVolpe]

ouch! OUCH!!

 

[Gunnernmybike]

... but will it be available for the 305/555's?

 

[Fireman]

Only if they come out with a Juice for the 305/550 trucks.



Don't hold your breath.

[Cummins4WD]

Why couldn't they make the A1/A2 work with the EZ... What is so different about the Juice?

The data link connection... gives them a view into all the various engine parameters.



As to the expected retail price... . well, what did you expect something with all those capabilities (especially GPS) to cost?
