Purchased this unit but was disappointed it does not perform a service reset. Only oil service reset. Not really worth the cost IMHO. Durametric here I come...

I thought any service showed up as "service now" and you can reset to 2 yr, 20k with this PORii ?

Updated my PORII today using a friends windows 10 computer and it worked as advertised. I reset my oil service indicator but not sure what interval it uses. I loved the convertible top scan and steering wheel calibration options.

Happy Customer

all... got the POR II... when I connect it to the car it sort of runs through a bunch of tests and they all say fail... when it is finished I scan for error codes and says there are none... is that normal?

Has anyone been able to figure out if it will do real-time oil temperature readings?

The iCarsoft kits won't work on the 996 & 986 cars for systems like ABS and SRS AIRBAGS.

I have tried and tested an alternative which works on both 996 & 986 for these systems and is shown in this link here http://www.diagnostic-world.com/page...7&p=121453.cfm

Thanks

This just happened to me as well. Sellers on Amazon are definitely just shipping random packages. They sent the iCarsoft MB-II (Mercedes benz) not the the iCarsoft POR-II. Something fishy is definitely going on. That or Amazon's RFID or QR code scanner can't distinguish between the different devices.

I ordered one a couple weeks ago from Amazon and got the right one.

Any idea if this unit will help bleed out the PSM unit? There is a function for PSM actuator test, I assume this would do it but would rather not be the guinea pig

I was so happy with my Land Rover I carsoft, I got one fro the 997. I hate it when you have a glitch and it latches so that every time you drive the car, you have to stare at the red !. Cleared it out in 2 minutes.
