Default Icarsoft air suspension question

Anyone have a link on amazon for a icarsoft scan tool that can recalibrate the air suspension on a 957 GTS?

It cannot calibrate the air suspension. For that you need PIWIS, Durametric or perhaps a Launch can do it.

lol, well here's my little bit of experience aka 2 cents.
I used my i-Carsoft Porsche 3 to deflate and fully inflate front and rear to test after replacing two release valves.

My Autel can calibrate the suspension, you should only do that if you have replaced a component though.

The Porsche calibration isn't like a Range Rover.

I have the iCarsoft 3.0, the Launch Elite and Otofix D1 Lite. All three can calibrate the suspension, however the iCarsoft is by far the worst/least capable of the three. For basic stuff, reading codes, clearing faults, etc. it's totally fine, but that's really where it ends. The Otofix is by far the best of the three and has way more capability, albeit for a little more money, but the extra cost is well worth it.

Calibration can be a pain to get dialed perfectly, but you just need to be persistent and take good notes on the numbers you input.

I also have a PIWIS 3 but only bust it out when coding or calibrating. The PIWIS 3 is sloooowww on a 955/957. If possible, I would build it with a PIWIS 2 unless you have newer Porsches you're also planning on using it with. But for 95% of things, the Otofix has been great. It's an Autel product and uses their technology.
