Add the J2354 driver in the Tabscan settings, then use a loggiing program like VEHIcal.

AFAIU using the J2354 protocol is applicable only if you have a PPN account

But it also allows for J2354 protocol to be used as a pass-through with PPN.

Is this done in the Tabscan Manager app?

ah, so not using PIWIS for logging.

$50 to $100 PER MONTH (!) for vehiCAL access is not in my budget

I already have other J2534 cables: Tactrix OpenPort, and DrewTech MFC3 Mongoose Plus. I have access to ICS NeoVI through work.

anyone purchased and used the PIWIS 4 available from VXDAS or similar sellers. Are they completely unlocked and work as intended? does it need a PPN account

PPN is pay as you go or need. Not too bad, but you need a solid network connection.

Looking to update my PIWIS 3 setup. Currently on 38.200.017 with a VAS interface. I have not been able to pull DME reports from a 996 Turbo and 997 base that I tested, although I can on a 997 turbo. It does not seem to communicate properly with some of these cars.

I am looking at purchasing a T6P3G and updated PIWIS 3 software. The three options I see so far are:

42.400.050 V/E modes, Full Engineering + 38.250 V/E/P models, Full Engineering Windows 11 from Bell Auto, whom I got the last software from. He has provided good service thus car.

The other option is from mhx_log recommended by some here which is 42.400.037 (not sure on the specifics of the build V/E/P)

In the past, I have read that is is beneficial to have the earlier version, 38.xxx along with the later versions 42.xxx as the 38 version has some capabilities that were removed in the later versions. I dont remember the specifics though.

I deal with earlier 996, 986, 997, 987, 991, 981 cars mostly, but would like the ability to pull DME reports, check and clear codes, troubleshoot cars up to 2020 and possibly newer down the road. I would like to be able to code and possibly program modules if needed on all these generations.

Currently, what is best option? Is getting 38.250 with V/E/P models still beneficial?

They are similarly priced.
