Default OB-I reader for 95's

I see OB-I readers sometimes (car parts stores)- Will these work with the 95's which had the OB-I system?? any one model stand out as a decent value? they seem to be about $150-250

Coleman:

I'm sorry to tell you that Porsche used a totally proprietary vehicle code system on the OBD-I 95's. This was before the Federally mandated OBD-II standards were used.

The only tool that reads a '95 (and earlier) is the Bosch Hammer (or current PST-2 with the right cable) and special Porsche software. The Hammer is now long out of production and NLA.

As of the end of last year, he "retired" from the Alex Job Team.

Thank God he did that as productivity was suffering when he was gone,...

Coleman,

You may want to take a look at this thread to read the code and see if it works on your car. No need to even buy a reader if it does.

Good luck
