I don't have durametric, and have no plans for getting it. BUT, I do have a Toyota program & cable for my Prius--it's a Chinese clone program (which means it's pirated.) It's easiest to use on Win XP computers--obsolete by at least 5 years. Which means that one can get really nice, clean restored laptops or netbooks for practically nothing. I paid $35 for mine and found it on Craigslist. It is from the "It's a Dell, dude." era.

It doesn't connect to the internet (no wifi adaptor.) So it's isolated, immune to internet born viruses, etc., and never needs to be upgraded.

If ever I come across someone who's practically giving away durametric and an OBD cable, I'll install it on my good old XP laptop. Apple stuff & Android are wonderful, but I wouldn't go to the trouble with old netbooks available.
