A foxwell will do Almost all of the things that a Durametric can do.
Depending on the year of your car and its ECU programing you can be some what limited in what you can do anyway.
On my 2000S there are fewer things I can access or do with any scanner, Durametric or Foxwell included.
(I have both). Then say on a 2010 model car.

If you go to the Durametric website you can look up your car by year and see the modules the Durametric will access.
I think you can do the same on the Foxwell website but not positive.

Foxwell will access any OBDII and pull codes and live data.
Durametric is Porsche specific.
