I have a durametric now but started with one of the ebay asian knock offs that worked very well for the basics. It reads and resets all codes. It didn't want to work with the airbag system at all. But for the engine, perfect. DO NOT try to update the software and firm ware. It will make it all non functional.

An example:

Uses Durametric version 3 software.
