Thanx Guys. JFP, how is it less capable or what doesn't it do? Jl-c is right the Windows emulator does not work well. It is tolerable with Office but that is about it. It choked on my medical EMR. I am new to this code business. The yellow car croaked about a month ago. I had to have it flat beded to the dealer. The day before it had rained hard. It had codes in it that told the tech that it had misfires on three cylinders. All of my coils were cracked and water got into them. It cost me $1500 for coils and plugs. They sold me NKG plugs for $36 each! They are $4.95 at Pelican. Nobody told me that the original coils in 997s were crap. If I had known I could have watched for it and I could have done it myself for $600 if I could read the codes. Lesson learned. All I really want to do at this point is read the codes and reset the car unless there is something that could be very useful to me with the Durametric. I have not spent much time with the latest version of this scanner, but these things are more code readers than a true diagnostic tool. The one that I looked at could not read cam deviation values, would not reset air bag or service reminders, was incapable of re-coding a car (activating on board computers, cruise controls, steering angle resets, activate the ABS/PSM system to bleed air out of it, etc.), etc. The fact that their advertising says it works on multiple European brand models raises a big flag as Porsche has long been known for have a unique diagnostic system. Even the guys that make excellent diagnostic tools for VW and Audi will tell you that their tools are hamstrung on a Porsche and to go to Durametric. I'm sure it will read global OBD II codes on a Porsche, but remain circumspect that it can function in the traditional "protected codes" areas of the car. The only tools that I know of that can do that are the Durametric, PIWIS, and AutoLogic systems. And before you ask, an AutoLogic tool set up for Porsche is approaching $12K, plus updates. Thanx JFP. It is only a code reader and resetter. This particular version is Porsche specific and I do think it reads all the codes. At least it has one chapter on OBD codes and other chapters on stuff like the seats. I have no way of knowing if it is missing codes. $12,000 is out of the question. If I had that money now it would go into a Fabspeed perfomance system for the Turbo :-) I'll look into a cheap Laptop. The consumer Durametric is limited to three cars. Do you know what happens when you run out of cars? Can you buy an extension or do you just have to buy another one? The only other way out of this one is to spend twice as much on the Indie version. How do you get updates?? I believe that you can either convert the Enthusiast version to the Pro for a fee, or get the unit reset back to three available for a fee. As I have always used the Pro version, I am not sure of the exact proceedures, but if you drop Durametric an email, I'm sure they will fill in any details for you. Periodically, with no definitive time pattern, Durametric releases a new version with patches, bug fixes and new features. When they do, you go to their website and download the new version, following the instructions on the site to replace the older version. Updates are unlimited and completely free. One last question JFP. Does the Durametric now do what ever it takes to change the clutch fluid in PDKs?? The Durametric model matrix is here

How much did you cost for your Durametric Pro? I have a inexpensive Durametric cable. It is possible to get the tpms disabled as well. I have got the manual here: This site does NOT condone the purchase and use of "knock-off" products that violate copyright. Further posts of this nature will be removed and the poster can be banned.

I sent you a PM.

There is a Porsche TSB on PCM for model year 2006 as that was a change-over year. You will likely need both your VIN and the part number on the unit you have in the car now to get the correct replacement(s).

You need to find out whether the FRAU readings are above or below limits to further diagnose. Those numbers will tell you whether to look for an intake leak, or fuel pressure issue, or MAF isssue.

Hover your mouse over PCA and a pop-up will tell you about it and provide a link (this may not work on all phones but works on any normal browser view)

Sorry this diagram is not too clear - but you can rad the color codes for the wires and where they go. (click to enlarge)

Exact model and year of your car please?

That DIY Tutorial is from 2013 - it includes instructions. Please click on each image to enlarge the image. Probably not something you want to view on a phone.

PLEASE read the Lost Radio Code FAQ -- the CDC-3 is a CD Changer not the radio.

I found that only IE will work properly on the site...

Have a look in the Links section (on the menu above) - it's under Porsche Documentation.

It is an hour labor because they have to hook up a PIWIS -- test the system -- request the upgrade from Porsche AG (with proof of payment). Then once approved by Porsche AG -- they get a release code to upload it to your car. If they say can do that in an hour they might be a bit optimistic. (IMHO) Porsche changed to this verification system after too many dealers were either not charging or failed to pay Porsche for the upgrades.

:welcome: If you need them all you can buy them online at the Porsche PIWISTSI website. They are about $1.80 each per specific model and year.

Please READ the Lost Radio Code FAQ - specific Porsche/Becker units only.

Standard is anything except PASM optioned cars. Specs are directly from the Porsche service manual.

According to PET those will fit these models only... (click to enlarge)

Sorry, nothing attached?

I did not see any TSBs (Technical Service Bulletins) on that subject. If you are in a very warm or hot climate - that would not be uncommon. (IMHO)
