Durametric Tool


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I have been using this tool for over a month now.

My general feeling is that its super outdated and for the amount they charge they need to have a more modern software/interface.

Also surprised its missing some key engine parameters, ie oil pressure and has no manual to explain some actual values, ie spec RPM!

 

Would love to hear your thoughts.

The Durametric system can see every value the DME sees, but it cannot create values that are not part of the DME's PID file.  As for spec values, or explanations of what those values mean, that is not Durametric's prevue; if you want to know what the car's specs are, or an explanation of the codes it reports,  you need either the factory OBD II manual for the car (about $2,000.00 when it was still in print, which it no longer is), or the vehicle's factory service manual (13 volumes, but also no longer in print, but available online with either a monthly or annual subscription of around $5,000.00, depending upon what you ask to see).  Your other choice to get everything you want, you can lease the current PIWIS III (lease only, not for sale), starting with an opening annual lease cost of $20,000.00.
