Smile Durametric cable

Hi All,

Bought myself a PIWIS clone cable from China and have a version 5 download of durametrics can anybody with experience advise please.

Is it simply a case of plug 'n play? Are there any no - no's/ any way I can do damage to my DME etc.

I believe the ignition needs to be on for the software to communicate does this have a detramental affect on the ignition coils etc. Just want access to fault codes etc rather than paying Porsche a Kings ransom.

Thanks,

Rob

Durametric software won't help you. All the proprietary info from Durametric is embedded in their cable not someone else's.

Do yourself a favor and get the actual Durametric cable. Given the prices of our cars, Durametric is very reasonably priced and I can vouch for the fact that it work.

Good luck.

That's fair comment and along the lines I was thinking myself. Seems to have been a few people done this quite successfuly and I jumped in! I guess there is no shortcuts in life.

Thanks,
