Why would I pay over $350CAN for something I just bought for $50.00CAN that works great??? As far as updates? The only updates they are currently working on are for new models and adding new ver's whenever the motronic ver is updated. They have not added anything for my year car for quite a while now and most likely will not. The software is one gen later then the current release (up to 2007 997) and I can live with the operation tabs moving to the top of the screen instead of a link in the bottom left for the real time reading of engine functions. No big deal - I'll save the $300 bucks. The ver I have works on all P Cars with OB2 ports, ie , 993, 996, 986, 987, 997 and SUV. Not sure about 944/928 models but I believe it does if they use OB2 type ports.
It shows all codes, tells you what the code is and you can clear them as well as turning off CELL's. It shows details on your car such as VIN, engine VIN, gearbox VIN, radio code, type 1 and 2 rev ranges and some option codes.
I like the real time output to an excel format (or to printer). I plug in the cable supplied and turn on the car (after backing it out of the garage!!) and record over 30 some sensor outputs. It's already saved me money as I identified an issue and cleared the code and fixed the problem without a visit to a dealer.
Oh and another thing: Anyone selling these items on Craigslist or Kjiji for $100-$120 is importing the item as I did for 50 bucks and marking it up by 100 percent.
You can save money by buying it yourself unless your lazy and want to give someone an extra 50 or 60 bucks for the same thing.
If you want an email address to buy it directly PM me - she takes PayPal and I have hooked up a few other P car owners. I will not answer any public requests for this email.

Hey thanks for trying to reset my airbag light.
I looked at 'net software, thought about my DME and whats at stake, paid for the Durametric.
Also no other system I saw guaranteed system support for the airbag which is a common issue when you start messing around with stuff.

Can someone provide the link to this tool to reset the airbag light? My 01 996 airbag light is on and I don't feel like buying a durametric for $350 just to reset it.
