I have been told that owners of newer Macans can purchase a relatively inexpensive device to read the error codes and in some cases, clear them. The goal being to see if they come back and possibly save or delay a trip to the dealership. I'm not trying to mod the vehicle just clear the "idiot light". There are several available on Amazon. Any recommendations?

Sorry All, wrong forum....

You can get a generic OBD II scanner that will read generic codes and clear many but the capability is low.
I got an Autel Maxicom 808BTMS which will read Porsche specific codes. It will also reset the maintenance reminder but does not have full bi-directional control with Porsche.
It does have actually amazing bi-directional abilities with my wife's Lexus.
I'm hoping a future software upgrade will give the same to Porsche.
It was about $600.

If all you want t do is to read and clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTSC), don't spend less than $5 or more than $10 and you'll be just fine.

Cheapest OBD II on Amazon is about $20.
Generally the cheapest ones won't do things like read ABS codes or reset an airbag or steering angle sensor light.
For $100 you can get one that will do a lot more.
Mine will read all the codes including TPMS sensors.
I figure if I can avoid one non-warranty trip to the dealer it's paid for itself.

Here you go . . . $9.00 on Amazon.
