What would be ideal would be a tool that permanently turns off all the idiotic service reminder lights. I have always tracked my mileage/time and know what service I need to perform and when. I have never relied on those stupid reminders. Their only purpose is to annoy me. If there was a tool that would permanent turn them off, that would be fantastic.

Alas not everyone is as conscientious as us.

We keep notes and receipts, if it says to change oil at so many miles, we do it n thousand miles earlier, not to mention all the other fluid changes. IMHO the reminders should remain, just a simpler way to turn them off would be good; not requiring the purchase of a multi hundred dollar tool to do this. Again if that's all you want, many other cheaper options are available.

OTOH of course, if that option was available, the door to misuse would be wide open and you would have no way of verifying if services etc. were performed. I fully concur that because a dealer states they did a certain item doesn't mean it's actually been done or done correctly... but that's what we're faced with.

I do all my own work and keep receipts religiously as proof as well as mileage and date when the tasks were done and corroborated by the vehicle logs.

YMMV

Waiting for the oil to drain on my car. Just came across this thread. How is the Autel unit? I'm considering this option. Does it provide any user coding settings & capabities? Can do some things which PIWIS 3 can do such as lighting, convertible top control with the remote, etc.., ?

This unit looks really attractive to for all of my cars, but from what I understand, even if you downloaded the updates onto the machine, they apply some shady pay-gate for you to renew the update subscription. Otherwise some functions are locked out.

Our Hondas have a simple way to reset the maintenance minder via the screen. No reason that it isn't available on the 992.

This should be covered under right to repair legislation.

For the 992 series Service Reminder Reset, does the Autel MaxiAP200 dongle work? I have this unit and it is compatible with my 981, 982 & 991.2 vehicles.

I have a 992 on the way and wonder if this simple to use, no annual subscription tool works with the 992 series 911 vehicles.

Of course, moving right along....

Check on the Autel website to see whether it does or not.

No. I own both. My AP 200 wil not reset service reminder. However, my 808 will .

Haven’t we had this conversation before?

981KMAN

I have... I'm asking if anyone has actual use experience with the Autel MaxiAP200 on their 992 series vehicle.


Thanks for the feedback!

siberian

The only two that I know will are PIWIS and Launch.

981KMAN - You do not need to buy an annual subscription. If you buy the 808 after your 992S arrives, you will be fine.

@Fullyield Thank you very much for the input!!

Which "808" unit do you have?

Fullyield

MK808S. $373.

Avail on Amazon from $375-480 it is and online at other sites. Waiting for a sale now and to determine if I will have dealer service and change my oil one last time or not before my 2022 992 S goes out of warranty in 11 mos or not.

siberian

$375 vs $whatever they charge??... not sure what we're debating Sir. Skip the sale and get whatever works for your ride!
