Thanks for the clarification. That's way too long even if you baby your car. What's the max interval for 997.1?

 

Does the enthusiast tool report the complete over rev data, ie, all six ranges?

TIA, Dave

 

Dave, it does. BTW, that's a very nicely twisted road you were driving on in your avatar. Where is that?

 

Does the enthusiast tool reset the perimeters lost when the battery is changed or discharged? I.E. heated seats, airbag stuff ect.?

 

i'm sure someone else will chime in but..."perimeters"? can you explain further? the only thing (that's noticeable) that i am aware of is the PSM fault after the batt is disconnected/fully discharged. i have changed my battery and also disconnected several times and that is the only out of the ordinary item that i recall.

 

I am not sure what is lost when battery is unplugged. But I have read where certian things did now work correctly when battery is changed. On my last service visit the airbag light was on (CPO) and the dealer said that if it was caused by battery discharge then it would not be covered by cpo and reprogramming would be 120.00. Not that 120.00 is too unreasonable but twice pays for enthusiast tool.

 

Chris, you may want to get the E-tool. Sounds like your p-dealer wants to bleed you on razor cut at time.

 

before i was, how do i say, "self aware" about maintenance, my stealership quoted me $145 to reset/resync new TPMS sensors that i had bought with new wheels. yes. yes, i am referring to the procedure that involves ticking thru a few steering wheel stalk/dash choices and then...driving it for a few mins. whoa.

 

I hear you. That is why I proactively read this forum and the DIY stuff that USMC and others have posted. I am a DIYer and will tackle just about any job, just want to have the right tools. Not much on changing around a lot of things, just want a nice smooth running p-car without the stealership. Thanks Chris

 

Durametric will reset the air bag warning.

Re: battery change - you can test all your car's modules with Durametric too and clear any faults. Usually this coupled with a 30 min test drive resets everything you need. Some things like radio presets and seat & mirror positions, etc may require you to manually rest and save to your PCM and/or key. No need to pay dealer unles you have a real repair need which is outside of your DIY envelope.

 

Does anyone know if this is still the case? Looking to buy a Durametric Pro for use with a 2013 981S Boxster.

 

Can either one of them (enthusiast or pro) turn off the stability control that will cut the accelerator if you left foot brake? PSM is great, and I have no complaints other than the fact that I don't like the accelerator being shut down for an ice age if I left foot brake.

 

Usmc, can you share the parameters you changed to make the car beep when arming and locking the car?

 

Slicky, you go me there... another forum member was kind enough to loan me his DM Pro tool over a weekend. I rushed thru it and did not document my steps. Perhaps someone with a Pro tool would be willing to document some of the features for us. If/when I get my hands on my own Pro tool... I'll likely spend a month going thru all of it's capabilities and doing a few DIY's alone the way this time. IMHO having the car beep when armed is so comforting... no more second guessing whether it's locked or not. Didn't realize how much I missed that feature(normal with all my other vehicles) until I activated it for the Porsche... I don't understand why Porsche would ship our cars from the factory with this feature turned off. Perhaps it presents another opportunity for the p-dealer to $ervice our cars and get to know the customer$ better.

 

i have a pro and have tried to find an answer but from all the research i've done so far (for the .1, anyway), it seems the only way to do this is to install the "remotekey" or whatever that mod is called. i dont even think PIWIS can do it. but anyone ever finds out otherwise, please let us know!
