Can anyone explain for me the advantage of Piwis versus this: http://www.durametric.com/buy.aspx

I am posting this on several Rennlist forums (perhaps, incorrectly).

pwis is probably in thousands of dollars, and good luck getting one from porsche. duramet is 250 and reads pretty much all the codes on the dme and more

The PIWIS is Porsche's all-purpose diagnostic/programming tool. If there's an electronic setting anywhere on your car, this is the tool that can change it. It's a professional-grade tool for use by dealerships and independents with deep pockets. My recollection is they run around $10-12K per year for software updates. This tool is supplied by Porsche and guaranteed compatible with their cars. The Durametric software is more limited in its application, but priced and targeted at smaller shops or enthusiasts with more limited ambitions.
