Anyone have a Pro-Durametric near Seattle?

I recently acquired a used Dension 500 and got it installed last weekend. I would take some photos but there isn't much to show... it's all neatly hidden! However I do need to program the car to think that there is a CD changer. I talked to the dealer and they want $75 to do it. I have a 'enthusiast' Durametric cable but that does not allow me to reprogram anything. If I had a little more cash laying around I would sell this one and buy the pro cable.

Since the weather is getting better I was wondering if anyone had the pro version and for some beer and good conversation I could get my '05 to think it has a CD changer.


I was just surprised that the dealer said it would take no less than a 1/2 hour. I guess they have to pay for the PWIS tool somehow. But last time I had my car there for a track inspection I mysteriously had a can bus error afterwards. That is what prompted the buying of the Durametric in the first place.

But for good news I'm about to roll it over 87,000 miles! still runs like a top!
