Is durametric useless for the 958?
Hey guys....trying to scan a check engine light and read the following fault codes. I can not find these codes on any forum or list of fault codes. Does anyone know what they are or seen them before? Is there a better tool for pulling codes out of the 958?

Yes.
I too emailed them and they made no promises about improving it in the future.
The 958 has been out for, what, 8 years now? I figure if they were gonna figure it out, it would've happened by now.
It's not just the DME it sucks with; it can pull codes for modules but can't tell you what they are. The forum support isn't there yet for decoding them.
It really can't do any activation / calibration / coding like it used to. I was so happy with it on my 996 and my 955, but it's totally worthless on the 958.

You're correct - and if you read my SIG - I've owned both the 955 and a 958 TwinTurbo.. and iCarScan works just fine with the 958, It can read ALL the modules in the 958 - something that people have experienced problems with using the Durametric.

iCarScan x431 (the orange color which is $185). I was able to clear an HPFP error code which requires PIWIS to clear. I bought it directly from obd2tool.com site. Even though it's shipped from China it's FAST. Don can confirm how fast.
