You need to be cautious when buying a used cable online, make sure it is the current version (second generation) and not the earlier version which could be a Chinese rip off. From Durametric's website:

"Durametric version 6 is only compatible with our 2nd generation cables. If you purchased your kit after February 2008, then you have a 2nd-generation cable.

If you aren't sure, check this list:

•Cables with a white, label-wrapped box in the middle of the wire are 1st-generation cables.
•Cables with the LED light on the OBDII connector can be either 1st- or 2nd-generation.
◦If the cable has the LED light on the side of the connector housing that reads "Durametric," then it is a 2nd-generation interface cable and it is compatible.
◦If the cable has the LED light on the side of the connector housing that reads "Enthusiast" or "Professional," then it is a 1st-generation interface cable and not compatible."
