Is Durametric cable needed for 2001 Boxster?

There is a new entrant in the Porsche diagnostic products race. Pedro is offering it over on his forum. Lots of claims. No independent feedback yet. Time will tell how its support stacks up compared to the Durametric.

He is reselling the iCarsoft Porsche unit, which you can already buy on Amazon for the same "deal" price. Last time I looked at it, the unit could not code, activate systems, or read cam deviations, amongst other short comings when compare to the Durametric system. Only advantage I saw was it was stand alone (no laptop needed).

Nothing new about it
It's the iCarsoft PORII i960 and it sells for about $180. Why he is trying to sell them to unsuspecting buyers for $250 is beyond me, but it may be related to his selling $20 HID kits for $200!
