MY08 requires the use of the Openport 2.0 cable. MY07+ use can bus, which is not accesible using the openport 1.3 or VAG COM cables.
To read/write your MY07+ ECU buy one of these:

While all post 1996 USDM cars needed to comply with OBDII, ADM and JDM cars do not. Most ADM cars (just like JDM) do not comply with OBDII but simply use the same connector to communicate via SSM (Subaru Select Monitor) protocol, therefore you will get very limited, if ANY data from these generic OBDII devices
Hope this helps clear it up a little.

You can't use it to flash roms though.
Also like to point out the bluetooth one works great for android devices (Torque app is awesome) and you can use a pc to connect to it as well.
The bluetooth one doesn't seem to be compatible with iOS so if you're running an ipad or iphone you'll need to get the wifi version. The iOS app is called Rev.
I gave my sister my Sansung Galaxy S2 and it's crippled my use of the bluetooth odbkey device.
I might order the wifi one and run it in the car connecting to the ipad (i just think the iphone screen might be too small to be useful?)

its pretty cool watching everything work, and you can also data log with "Torque", record 0 - 100 kph, 0 - 60 mph, 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile times too.
