Looks like they literally reverse-engineered CAT's Comm Adapter 3.
You just install it on your own laptop?

You are correct that you need to either (1) know the current passwords or (2) have a password generator to show you current passwords to make any feature or parameter changes. If you search hard enough on the internet you will find what you seek grasshopper!!
spsauerland and AModelCat Thank this. -
I'd assume they're different than the factory-generated passwords used by Caterpillar when clearing emission system related faults as well? -
However, I assure you, it’s just a diagnosis tool for me. -
Lester I think first mentioned the password generator.

Anyhow, I found the newest model brand new in cat package from a seller in my state of PA. should be here by friday. I was also given a link by the seller from another usa source that has the software and 3 year licensing for full dealer version for 200 bucks. So 900 for the comm unit and 200 to get it running. Not bad considering, 3600 cat to get everythiing including one year customer version. Most sellers if you can find a legit newest cat comm are selling for 1300AModelCat, lester and shooter19802003 Thank this. -

That's crappy. Usually its the cables that break. Probably every 6-8 months I'd have to get a new USB to Comm Adapter cable.

What really killed my cables was being taken out and put back in the laptop bag 4 or 5 times a day.
