Default Bluetooth OBD reader app for Porsche?

There are several OBDII scanners that send CEL codes via Bluetooth to phone apps like "Torque". Has anyone found an iPhone app that also reads Porsche chassis codes a la VAG or Durametric? Would a generic OBDII scanner pick up those codes?

I haven't. I know those app things work pretty well, but in all honesty, they tell you the same info that auto zone or napa would tell you - and those stores will do that for free.

It's why I still see value in Durametric because you can scan the whole car, and do a lot more than just read and clear codes.

Well, the apps like Torque seem to do a lot more than read CEL codes, but I agree that Durametric/VAG capability would be much better and that's why I asked.

I use iOBD, works really good especially for logging stuff on the fly
