just to be sure:
I have an older style Durametric cable. I believe I read somewhere that these cables are no longer supported with the newer versions of Durametric
right or wrong?

Simple Durametric question:
Can you use the cable/software ona non-Porsche? Chevy, Ford, Benz? Just for simple emission and CEL checks?

No, I think I remember reading on their website that the Durametric unit is only for use on Porsche.

Right. You have to buy the new version of the cable to get the new features.
Not sure if they have an "upgrade" option for those with the older cables.

Yeah, you can upgrade to the newest cable for a fee - $150. That's what I did late last year (specifically for the OBC activation feature)

Are you saying that this only costs $150, seems more like $400 to me

Exactly, but you have something for your money instead of feeling that you trash 150$ because they upgraded their hardware

I just got my RMA number from Durametric to upgrade my cable. I bought my cable before there were two versions so it is a unlimited car cable. Durametric said I would receive the professional cable for the $150 upgrade fee.
I think that's a fair deal.
