Again, the cable is independent from the software, any diagnostic system. The cable is just a tool to communicate with the ECU. The ECU dictates what type of protocol it can TX/RX.

Is the cable offered by Durametric unique? Yes, no doubt! Can other cable in the market able to communicate like the cable offered by Durametric? Yes, no doubt! Does other cable in the market provide the same feature as cable offered by Durametric? No!

It does not mean that it's cloned or ripped off!
After Durametric version 5.1.3, they changed everything (cable and software) to limit cloning efforts. Durametric 6.0 and later will not work without the latest Durametric cable, which has proven hard to crack due to each one being unique. The latest cable will also not work with the earlier Durametric software. If that were not the case, there would be $39 versions of the current Durametric software and cable being sold on the internet.
