Default Best tool to reset maintenance and error codes on 997?

Folks,

I am sure that this has been discussed in the past, but what are the various tools offered to reset maintenance codes and error codes on a 997.1?

I have been looking into the Durametric software but read some threads that left me with mixed feelings about it, especially if you only buy the Enthusiast" version.

I would like to hear from your experiences.

Thanks
Yves

Finesse not required.

Actually, other than Durametric, factory tools are about your only option.

Clearing error codes should be doable via ODB2 computers for general /standard codes, but Porsche specific ones would not necessarily be cleared by a general OBD2 tool/app.

Durametric can 'reset' service reminders to the max interval the computer allows, not to a specific interval that would produce a new 'reminder' at the correct time/mileage. Durametric can clear Porsche specific codes and help you understand what they are.

PIWIS is the only tool that can do it all correctly.
