Couldn't reset steering angle sensor on mine either - 2010 997.2. Have pro version, it has a few bugs.

Couldn't save & back up config files successfully either, did successfully disable rear wing operation. That's why it's still a beta version of the software. Clears faults OK. Couldn't disable multi function steering wheel either.

Wow, for a hyper-expensive 'pro' version it doesn't seem to be able to do a whole lot. Its been in beta for ever it seems.. are they even working on it.

If I need a version that doesn't do a lot but clear codes, the basic version fits the bill fine. All I really want is to be able to specifically set the reminder interval to a particular value for mileage and time.

interesting. was tech support able to provide any assistance on how it can be resolved? or do they just tell to wait for 'beta' to become 'gamma'?

I've not been able to get tech support to respond.

No solution for the multi function wheel, a very mechanical process for the files, so much so I haven't bothered. In actuality the Pro version is very primitive, better off not getting for most. I got it because I changed to a fixed rear wing & removed my multi function wheel. Thought it would provid me with flexibility when I wanted to change back to original config over going to the dealer (that's why saving the configs was of interest to me).

Talk to vivid/softronic it's a bit flakey I've found as well. Been in Beta for a long while.


What we need is a cable & software to get serious like they do with BMW's.

Or Volkswagen / Audi. My VAGCOM, at $180 purchased many years ago, has served me very well over many cars.
