Been asked by several people what hardware revision this is. I believe it is the latest. Based on the info on Durametrics website.

Which generation cable do I have?

Cables with the electronics inside the 16-pin OBDII connector can be either first or second generation cables:
If the cable has the LED light on the side that reads "for use on: PORSCHE," then it is a second generation interface cable and it is compatible with version 6.
If the cable has the LED light on the side that reads "Enthusiast Version" or "Professional Version," then it is a first generation cable and it is not compatible with version 6.

Here is a picture of the cable for sale.
