I did some searching and quickly realized there are more than a few versions and sources for these cables. I'm ready to finally purchase one, and was wondering...

1. current best source ($ and reliability-wise)
2. differences between the versions and what I get with each

Thanks for any and all replies!

i have a version 12 cable and im running version 13 software, it works great no complaints here.  my cable is solid black with a white mpps sticker on the obd connector.  i think it was less than $30  and ive used it probably almost 100 times over the past couple years.

You may be pointed to a "good" clone but still it is a gamble .

The same chinese company sells white clones/black with stickers clones , all version 12 or 13 but the outcome is different everytime.
Buy and test it may not work , buy again from the same company it may or may not work again.

That was my story not very long ago . Nowdays I got an original MPPS and everything is fine  Cool

Do you have some "Firmware Update" message any time? When that message appears it close program.

Is this happening with the cable plugged in?

I have used cable more than a year, sporadically. I have been testing cable on bench, interface connected to ECU and computer, computer have no internet, no antivirus and almost no program running.
