I already went and bought the original at full price though as I need the cable already.. I called durametric a few times and couldn't catch then with a refurbished cable. Please let us know how it goes with the knockoff, maybe it can help some people save some money!
I wouldn't waste any money on a knock off to replace the functionality of a durametric, as a scanner maybe but there are plenty of those on Amazon. I used a VGate OBD2 scanner for checking codes and clearing them but the durametric has a myriad of additional features.

The "knock off" has the same functionality of a version 1 Durametric cable since it uses the Durametric software...quite a bit more than an OBDII scanner.

I bought the real deal so I don't fry my DME with questionable Asian electronics. Took 3 months of back and forth with Durametric to get it to work, though.

Durametric not very customer friendly.....or to me that is

I have a enthusiast version , while quite neat I would of course like more capability. Someone had posted that Durametric would upgrade your enthusiast cable to pro for $100 and so I was excited and was ready to throw money at them....I contacted them and got a very short terse response that they do not upgrade enthusiast cables and could I send them a picture of my cable.

I of course did not...even though I have a real Durametric....what happened to customer service and being nice.
