So I finally got a reply from ThinkDiag on this issue and here is what they said: The device only comes with one optional manufacturer software and you have selected the Porsche, it didn't include the service reset function.
I think this is contrary to the experience of others so if you have any help or input on this I would appreciate it.

I bought the one that was available early on in this thread with the 20% off deal. I think I bought it around January. The box just says Thinkdiag and Thinkcar's email calls it a "Thinkdiag device with single software package". I think the single software means that I chose just Porsche and not all brands but I don't understand why I can't do the simple stuff with it as standard. I can do some coding but can't reset the stupid service reminder!

I was looking in to the same thing for when I install track seats and harnesses in my 981 next month. I checked and the settings listed in the post linked below are available for coding in my car using ThinkDiag. Will post an update when I install the seats and actually test it (or if you try it before then, let me know how it goes). From what I've read elsewhere, this coding needs to be done with the stock seats installed prior to swapping in order to work correctly.

So I went with the backup plan and just disabled the relevant warning lights in the instrument cluster coding category.
Swapping seats next weekend so will see then if this at least prevents the warning light when I unplug everything.
Still hoping I can get the coding of the airbag, seat position sensors, etc working somehow, as this seems like the best way to disable the warning light with relative confidence that the rest of the system is still functional. Will probably try to borrow or buy a PIWIS eventually if I can't get it to work with ThinkDiag.

Quick update. I had some time to test this and unfortunately trying to change any of the settings in the airbag coding category resulted in a "write code failed" notification.

I have a '15 911S and want to change my one touch turn signal to blink 5 times instead of 3. Under which menu options can I select that with a Thinkdiag?

Were you able to enter the text? Locus_red on the 718 forum got this to work. They said the entry had to be ten characters. They entered some trailing spaces after the text to make it ten characters.

I have to say that for the price, the thinkdiag unit is a great investment. I just competed final part of my SC/Sport+ activation coding and it's all working great.
Here is the list of items I've been able to code.
1. Windows down/up with keyfob
2. Activate auto rain sensor
3. Change spoiler auto up speed
4. Change how far back seat goes for easy entry
5. Added Torque & G-force screens to MF
6. Programmed 991.2MF steering wheel
7. Added new set of console buttons - programmed PSE and Sports+
8. Activated SC using online activation code
Not sure how much value adding PSE, SC and Sports+ adds to a car but it's more than the cost of a thinkdiag.

I'm a little unclear on what works on the 991.1 vs 991.2
Clearly the GT3 doesn't work due to the 991.2 updated steering.
But it's unclear of comfort windows/rolldown with fob works, or illuminated dashboard?
