managed to find a brand new Edge CTS mount (38405) on that electronic auction place for $96 to my door (crazy how that's a $20-30 savings when just a couple years ago, these were $65 retail). ordered on Memorial Day & got it this evening.
install took about a half hour... including 15min of fumbling around in no hurry whatsoever. the hardest part was getting the mounting screw aligned & threaded, but once i did, it fit just fine.
the bottom edge doesn't quite tuck in all the way behind the dash & sticks up a tiny bit in the corner by the windshield... but it ain't bad enough to bother me. at least now i ain't gotta fold back 6" of my sunshade no more like i had to with the suction cup mount.
after a couple test fits, the CTS2 adapter was a bit too tight against the back of the MM3 (or Smarty Touch) to properly fit into the rubber grommet's retaining ridges, so i went with the CTS3 adapter & accepted it sticking out 1/2". from the driver's seat, you can't really tell much difference. i notched out a slot the width of the USB connector and didn't need to cut the grommet at all.
yeah, after two winters of finding it laying on the dash every time the temp dropped below 20°, i figured i'd bite the bullet.
i was hoping the flush-mount adapter would've worked because it looks more permanent (i.e., harder to just reach in & take), but you can't win them all.
mine's an MM3 (same hardware, slightly different firmware). RaceME Ultra is the third that also uses this module.
MM3 is the more open-source version, if you will, because it comes blank unless you specifically buy it through a tuning entity who's simply reselling it to you with his own programming written to it.
If it got below 20 here I'd move further south. I couldn't handle that for long, 95 with 95% humidity is no sweat though. Haha. I need one for my cts2 that I monitor with on the LML.
^^ same... but i ain't got no choice in the matter.
i will say 40-50% humidity does make a world of difference - feels 20-30° warmer when it gets that cold.
