This is not a probability of success.

Tre software is in ver 6 now and IIRC, the old cables cannot be used with Ver 6

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have been offered a "great deal" on an original Durametric cable that comes with v4. Should that be enough to reset codes and do basic stuff or should I spend more and get a current one? Thanks

POST 2Original post

What is the "great deal" Tre software is in ver 6 now and IIRC, the old cables cannot be used with Ver 6 Not 100% sure that is correct Check out the durametric website to see that has changed

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah the cable was for V4 so I just ordered a refurb cable from Durametric. Good price full warranty. Thanks

POST 4Original post

Quotes source post: 509375

What was the cost on the refurb cable? A new one is $287 so I'm curious what the discount is.

POST 5Original post

Last time I checked, refurbished cables are $225 shipped from Durametric.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

$217 plus shipping was the price today and they had a "few" There were several shipping choices.

POST 7Original post

Any downside to the refurbished cable? I'd expected a big discount then this?

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No...same cable same warranty as new.
