Resetting Oil Change Reminder (after changing oil of course)

Thanks, Blue. Any chance you can see if it will enable windows/up with the key FOB? Also, to a recent posters question. The unit will function fine indefinitely, the update fee is just for the latest software updates. Think of it just like your computer (if you still had to pay for updates). Hope that makes sense?

The annual fee is to update the vehicle data. If not updated, the tool remains fully functional for all of the vehicles that were updated prior to the end of the one year “free” update window that comes with the tool when bought new. This is only an issue for you and I if/when we were to buy a newer car, 2024 and newer at the moment. The intended audience/market for this tool are automotive technicians, not individual car owners like us.
It sounds like a great tool!

The OS Version is: V03.60.00
There are also TPMS Version and Software numbers. If you need those DM me and I'll put those together as well.

I'll take a look around tomorrow and see if I can turn the *** off on my C2S. It does appear that one can do bidirectional function tests with a number of the systems that are on the CAN Bus Network. Some of the ones I looked at this evening do allow one to disable the output. Now whether this is possible for the *** and whether or not this change is sticky after you remove the MK808 from the vehicle . . . . . . . .

Our Autel MaxiSys MS906 BT works with my 992. When the unit was fired up in November 2021, it automatically did updates including Porsche. I've done multiple full systems scans and cleared DTCs, and some coding is available. Haven't used the oil service light reset as did an oil change in October, but it's on the menu. The unit recognizes all systems and subsystems via Blutooth, grabs the VIN and stores it...just the same as other vehicles we use it on.

There are other cheaper alternatives if you peruse this and other threads.

If you want to do more, PIWIS is cheaper (+ doubt you'll need to renew) and if you work on multiple cars, Launch is your best bet since you get two years free and IIRC, the yearly is cheaper than the Autel not to mention based on feedback there's a lot more people using Launch than Autel. Not selling anything just placing it in perspective. YMMV

Thank you again Blue for taking the plunge and verifying the Autel wifi model works.
I purchased the MX808 model and was able to successfully reset the oil maintenance light on my 2022 C4s.
For those for purchase a MX808 version, the LIB was version 2.76, OS version V03.60.00, software 5.40.00 and firmware 1.08.
All in all don't mind the price seeing as Porsche would charge this amount to purchase the MX808 unit just for 1 oil change interval.
Still can't believe it took the aftermarket 3 model years to catch up, but glad they did finally!
