So, I guess that I got a deal since my wife only paid $125 for the cable and it is the newer version.

Interesting result. I had been saving my third VIN in the event that I ever bought a new Porsche. Now I can buy two new Porsches.
This is interesting. My cable, bought new from Durametric, shows no VINs even though I have been using it for over 2 years on my car. The "used car analysis" feature is unclear as well. If I plug it into a prospective car, will the VIN be recorded?
