This could include a higher abstraction programming API (e.g. Cardix), or UI applications which are designed to use an underlying J2534-compliant device to connect to the vhiecle.

Yeah I get that, my point is that Lukeyson seemed to imply the J2534 interfaces are better because they have software that allow people to read manufacturers PID's and my question was what software since all I have seen so far for the high priced J2534 interfaces was an API that you could program provided you had the OEM PID's to begin with, no different than doing it on an OBDPro (yes I am biased :-) )
