Good day all. I have a friend with an Edge CTS and the wiring harness socket failed in the back of his monitor & re-soldering failed to work even with a new harness. Does anyone know if any CTS monitor, no matter the vehicle, will work (with obviously the correct rear plug)? I would think the brain is in the under hood Edge box and the monitor is only just that: a monitor. Thank you very much.  

True. The brain is typically under the hood ties to the CANBus for part of the info. The other part of the info comes from the OBDII port. The cable should have the right MAP sensor plug, and the right CANBus plug. There is 3 different MAP sensor plugs between 1998.5 to 2002. Then there is 2 different CANBus connectors between 1998.5 to 2002.

Thank you for the prompt reply. All he needs is a new monitor but Edge no longer sells them so wondering if he can buy any used monitor (LCD) that works with his EDGE harness. 

Most likely proprietary to Edge Products. The display has to be able to decode the video information properly. I seriously doubt just any random screen will work.

I mean any Edge CTS screen for a different vehicle (say chevy or ford Edge CTS). Thank you for the help. 

Yes a replacement screen from Edge would work for any vehicle... Just run out to Amazon and get a any random screen is what I meant. That won't work.
