That's interesting.
I have both the Durametric Pro and the Foxwell 520.
the only differences I have noticed when used on my 2000S is the Foxwell cannot activate the Cruise control or the onboard computer .
My 2000s is very basic didn't even have the cruise control option. Thus the reason I have the Durametric Pro model.
Seems the more options the car has and the newer the model the more the Durametric stands out but at a price premium.
I also like the Foxwell because I am not limited to just one manufacture.
