I like that seller because hes in Canada.

Sorry guys for being a pain
I would recommend going with the cable that's known to work properly. Some who have purchased other cables have been just fine, others have had intermittent or totally blocking issues. Some of the other cables apparently have shoddy components and/or still have Pin 8 active which can cause problems with newer cars (look at my posts a while back in this thread if you're curious), so like I said before: If you want to try another cable, go ahead, but if you have problems, then the fact that you didn't go with the known good option should be on your list of potential suspects.
