Thats the one I got and it worked perfect. Some people have gotten a bad one apparently but it has worked great for me! Ive coded several other peoples cars as well no issues. I have a 11 but I have coded a 06 330 no problem. Good luck!

Sweet! Hoping I get one with the green board as pictured on the site. If not, I'm asking for an exchange due to the discrepancy.

What's the issue/history with the color of the board? I've seen this mentioned a few times on here. I work in electronics and I can tell you when producing the boards you can select any color you want. It has no baring on functionality. It's purely cosmetic. Usually when I'm placing smaller orders of a 100 boards or less the manufacture will offer me random colors of left overs they have at discounted prices. Hence some different colors once in a while. When paying full price green is the cheapest and the reason you see it in the majority of electronics. It's entirely a cosmetic thing.

Oh, I agree! It just seems most people have the best luck with green PCBs in the cable, with white being the least-widely-compatible. *shrugs*

I'm betting there's some part # difference or something between the green, white, and whatever the third color (brown?) I saw mentioned was. Different rev, or something.

Humm perhaps different suppliers each with their own circuit design? perhaps each one selected a different color PCB at time of manufacture? That would make sense.
