Edge Products has been making performance monitors and tuners for diesel and gas trucks since the 1990s. The Insight, Evolution, and current CTS3 line all share a common problem: they are more useful when mounted where the driver can actually read them at a glance rather than propped on the dash or stuck to the windshield with a generic suction cup. This guide covers the mounting options for every Edge device currently in use, from the older CS and CTS generation through the current CTS3.
Understanding Edge device generations
Edge has sold several generations of in-cab monitors and tuners over the years. The mounting options differ somewhat between generations so it helps to know which device you have:
Older generation (CS, CTS, CTS2, CS2): These units came with a basic suction cup windshield mount. Third-party mounts and some aftermarket A-pillar brackets support these devices. The suction cup mounts designed for these units use a specific ball socket size.
Current generation (CTS3, Insight CTS3, Evolution CTS3): The CTS3 is Edge’s current flagship. It uses a 5-inch touchscreen and ships with a windshield suction mount. Edge now also makes official A-pillar mounts for a growing number of specific truck applications. Third-party no-drill pillar mounts are also available for common platforms.
Insight+ and Insight Plus: These OBD-II based monitors connect via the diagnostic port and can be mounted anywhere the cable reaches. They are compatible with the standard suction and adhesive mounts listed below.

1. MFX2 Suction Cup Windshield Mount — best universal option for older Edge devices
The suction cup windshield mount is confirmed compatible with Edge CS, CTS, Evolution, Insight, Juice with Attitude, and Edge Juice. It replaces the included mount with a more robust arm and better suction mechanism. The mount provides adjustment points at the base and tip to get the screen at the right angle for your driving position. For drivers with older Edge units who just need a reliable replacement windshield mount, this is the straightforward solution.

2. ChargerCity Windshield and Dash Mount — best flexible option for CTS2/CTS3
This mount works on the windshield or on any flat dash surface. The multi-angle adjustable design lets you position the monitor at the right viewing angle for your specific truck cab. For drivers in states with windshield mount restrictions, attach the base to the dash surface instead. A practical universal solution for anyone with a CTS2 or CTS3 who does not want to go the A-pillar route.

3. Edge Official A-Pillar Mounts (CTS3) — best permanent installation
Edge Products now makes official cast zinc A-pillar display mounts for a growing number of specific truck applications. These replace the suction cup entirely with a no-drill, vehicle-specific bracket that clamps to the factory A-pillar and positions the CTS3 in a permanent, vibration-free location with an OEM-style finish. The zinc construction is significantly more robust than plastic aftermarket brackets and the matte black finish is paintable for a custom look. Available for the following platforms on Amazon:
2020-2023 GM 2500/3500 and 2019-2022 GM 1500 (Edge part 28601):

4. Stinger No-Drill Pillar Mount — best for 2015-2019 Silverado/Sierra
The Stinger no-drill pillar mount is designed specifically for the 2015-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD/3500HD and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD and is compatible with Edge CTS2 and CTS3 ball-style mounts. It uses the factory lower A-pillar grab handle mounting point rather than replacing the pillar trim entirely, so you retain full use of the grab handle while getting a secure, permanent-feeling mount location. No drilling, no cutting, no permanent modification. The OEM-style fit blends cleanly into the interior. A small business product with a focused application — if you have this specific truck and a CTS2 or CTS3, it is the cleanest no-drill option available for this platform.

Which mount is right for your Edge device?
For older Edge units (CS, CTS, original Evolution, Insight, Juice) the suction cup windshield mount is the reliable replacement for the original. For CTS2 and CTS3 owners who want windshield or dash flexibility, the ChargerCity covers all current Edge part numbers. For CTS3 owners who want the cleanest permanent installation, the official Edge A-pillar mounts are the right answer for supported GM platforms. For 2015-2019 Silverado and Sierra 2500/3500 owners specifically, the Stinger no-drill mount is the most elegant solution currently available on Amazon.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size ball does the Edge CTS3 use?
The Edge CTS3 uses a standard ball-style mount connection. The official Edge A-pillar mounts and most compatible aftermarket mounts are designed around this specific ball size. When shopping for third-party mounts, look for products that specifically list CTS3 compatibility rather than generic ball size specifications.
Will a mount for the CTS2 fit the CTS3?
It depends on the mount. The ChargerCity mount listed above is confirmed compatible with both CTS2 and CTS3. The official Edge A-pillar mounts are designed specifically for the CTS3. Always check the product listing’s compatibility notes for your specific device part number before ordering.
Can I mount an Edge CTS3 without drilling?
Yes. The ChargerCity adhesive dash mount, the Stinger no-drill pillar mount for 2015-2019 Silverado/Sierra, and the official Edge A-pillar mounts all install without drilling. The official Edge A-pillar mounts use a clamping design on the factory A-pillar.
Does Edge make A-pillar mounts for Ford trucks?
Yes. Edge makes A-pillar display mounts for Ford Super Duty and F-150 applications directly at edgeproducts.com. Check their pillar mounts section for your specific Ford model year as the Amazon availability of Ford-specific mounts varies.
