Durametric works flawlessly. It's much more than just a tool to reset the service light. Significant functionality for diagnostics and programming. The $300 isn't for the cable. It's take smart people many hours to develop and produce robust software. Somehow a business needs to make their payroll.

Went in for state inspection and asked the dealer to reset the oil service light. They said they could not do it - they would only reset if they did the work. What the . . . . Looks like its time to buy something.

Looks similar to the Chinese version.
I zapped icarsoft a note for more info on their device comparing it to their multi-car (including Porsche) for future car purchases.

I know quite about about diagnostics.
ICarsoft is owned by launch, and although you might get emails appearing to be from the USA, and the HQ is supposedly in the USA, trust me this is not the case. They just rent an office in Washington.
All correspondence is dealt with in Hong Kong & China. Which is not really a problem as they are pretty good and fluent in English and are able to understand issues if they crop up.
I have all of the relevant data sheets for the iCarsoft products if you require anything just pm me your email address.
Diagnostic World is my business ran from the UK (where I am from) so we have used the iCarsoft products on a lot of cars.
We sell a good number of iCarsoft products to Porsche owners but they tend to work best on 997, 987, 991 - 911's, boxster, Cayman, cayenne.
A bit troublesome with 996's.

So I wound up buying the iCarSoft model PORII. Got it in 2 days. Just cleared the Oil Reset, took about 20 seconds.
