| The first step in identifying our packages is to look at the chip. The image below lists three slight variations of the chip labels we've produced here. | The first step in identifying our packages is to look at the chip.

| Of course, since these chip labels are so easily duplicated, just checking against this isn't sufficient. But for sure if someone supplies you with a picture of the package they're selling and the chip just has a handwritten note of some sort on it, you can bet it's not ours. | Of course, since these chip labels are so easily duplicated, just checking against this isn't sufficient.

| A full 2GV1 package includes an ODBII adapter, DB9 cable, CD, and original DSMLink EPROM chip. Our chip labels are described above. A picture of a valid DSMLink adapter is below. | A full 2GV1 package includes an ODBII adapter, DB9 cable, CD, and original DSMLink EPROM chip. Our chip labels are described above.

| A bit harder to identify without opening the case, but this adapter is actually longer than ours, has a different DB9 connector and clearly different internal components. Our adapter boards are all surface mount IC components, a much better choice for use in a noisy car environment than the through-hole components shown on this copy. | A bit harder to identify without opening the case, but this adapter is actually longer than ours, has a different DB9 connector and clearly different internal components.

| As of the time of this writing (11/01/2007), there are no known counterfeit copies of the 1GV2 package. So as long as the seller is actually providing a 1GV2 DSMLink cable and a 1GV2 memory board (with a DSMLink chip), then you should be fine. Pictures of the 1G cable and memory board can be found below (pulled from our public website). | As of the time of this writing (11/01/2007), there are no known counterfeit copies of the 1GV2 package.
