Durametric Won't Connect - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I would contact Durametric. I purchased a used cable that had a similar issue. They were helpful, they reset the cable by sending me a file if I recall correctly. It was a few years ago, so forgive my memory. Said they would only do this once. I purchased the cable from someone on eBay that said it only used one VIN. When it wouldn't work I thought I bought a counterfeit so I contacted Durametric and they verified it was a legitimate cable. After I told them how I got the cable they told me they could reset it but only once. Now it works fine.

Particlewave: I had a similar problem with mine. I bought a new Durametric from Pelican about 6 months ago. Was driving me crazy. It would occasionally connect and then fail. I sent back to Durametric for analysis, they found nothing wrong with the one I had but said they had some issues with some from another batch. Long story short, I finally found that the .NET Framework 3.5 sp1, they said it needed did not contain .Net Framework 2.0. I downloaded the 2.0 and it has been working fine since. Good Luck

Krieger: If your Durametric cable is able to auto select your DME then your .Net framework version is likely fine. Basically this is language that allows the application to run. Do you have a seatbelt fault? I believe this would prevent access to the airbag.
