The DC706 is replacing IO Terminal because it has full cloning function as well, plus many more functions such as ECM / TCM / BODY ECU, and updates are continuous.
The interesting thing is that it costs a third of the Full version of I/O Terminal, therefore within everyone’s reach and without using a PC, with a Tablet and everything is done. DC706  will clone ford BCM, GM BCM, and clone dodge RFH. Cloning dodge RFH would be real nice to have, so it would pay for itself in just a couple jobs.

DC706 will record every step you performed. Users can easily check pinout and save a screenshot of the operation.

DC706 now adds boot mode reading and writing as IO Terminal.

If you are looking for a ECU/BCM/TCU cloning device, DC706 is a good starter. If need a more professional device, then go for I/O terminal.

Unbiased review on I/O Terminal vs DC706:

“I have i/o terminal tool and dc706.
dc706 is better overall. it is so easy to set up and go. the instructions are top notch, they use real pictures of the ecu and pin out diagrams are very clear, and then they even give you step by step instructions on how to do the job.
They just came put with another huge update regularly, added many GM bcms and ford bcms.
I have seen a post recently about someone cloning a ford bcm, said they couldn’t do it by obd, but bench was fine. no tool is perfect, especially when its so new of a tool. they are quick to respond if
you contact support.
In many ways it’d better then I/O terminal tool, you can virginize the gm bcm. mileage correction. pin codes. all from the tool.
Its easily worth the $1500 price tag.”
