Let's compare it to a tactrix cable.

Tactrix-
Does not offer data log support ( must use other software)
Only Supports Subaru, and EVO
Has a mini USB connection thats easy to break <- I've gone thru like 5
Has micro card support for datalogging w/o computer

EcuTek Cable-
Comes with non-java based datalogger that graphs
Supports - Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, Subaru Diesel, EVOX, FRS/BRZ
Solid cable that will not break if you bash your leg into it or rip the USB cord from it.

I think it's worth every penny.

you can compare it to things all you want...a USB security key is $5 - $10. There is no way that cable costs more than $50 to make...even that sounds high.

So they sell their $60 cable for $350. That's crazy. It would be fine if it included the license to use their software...or if the license to use their software included their cable.

Anyway, I'll stop bitching now. I'm stoked people are tuning this thing....I just don't like seeing companies blatantly overcharge for stuff.
