Well, the difference is that the orlando college student (as well as the rest of us) is using leaked/stolen BMW developed software to do the work.
Companies like Bavarian Technic and such have to reverse engineer BMW's way of doing things. If they bundled up the NCS Expert/WinKFP software with their cable BMW would sue them out of existence. I'm sure their cable would work with the software without much fuss, the issue is reverse engineering the software and integrating into their product in such a way that BMW doesn't come after them for stealing their code.
There are a few companies which have reverse engineered BMW's software and make commerical products that will do all the custom coding you want, like Autologic, but expect the $10,000 price tag on the product.
