Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

So it looks like the durametric is the only unit that will change options and The PORII will so about everything else but that.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

I have a 2011 987.2 Cayman . Looking at an an OBD device. Anyone use or familiar with the PORII. Particular interest in live data and resets. Limitations? Better model? Thanks In advance

POST 2Original post

The iCarSoft PorII is the only scan tool I have experience with on these cars. It can read and reset just about everything on the car (most importantly the service reminders). I haven't used it for reading data on my Porsche . But I also have an iCarSoft unit for my Volvos and it reads everything. There are better scan tools for Porsches. But considering how cheap the iCarSoft is, and that it's not locked to a certain number of VINs, it's my preference.

POST 3Original post

Thanks, that is helpful. I had read that it can read live data with a PC so was just checking , thanks again

POST 4Original post

I'm also in the same situation as you... researching what to get for reading codes/reset service mostly. I am debating between the iCARSOFT CR Plus (not POR II) which works on alot of other manufacturers, and the Autel MD808 Pro. Any one have any experience with either?

POST 5Original post

So it looks like the durametric is the only unit that will change options and The PORII will so about everything else but that. .Correct?

POST 6Original post

Correct, that has been my experience.

POST 7Original post

Hi all, This is my first post in this forum. My car is a 2010 Cayman S 3.4 PDK , right hand drive. Two weeks ago I bought iCarsoft POR II because I want to diagnose an intermittent problem with the engine (PSM Failure). The POR II comes with latest software. I found out that POR II can not access DME menu, always got message " Fault in communication with vehicle ECU ......." , but I can acces PSM, Tiptronic menus (Read DTC, Clear DTC, Live Data). In car selection menu I chose CAYMAN , also tried BOXSTER (987) but still can't access DME menu. Any advise ?

POST 9Original post

I tried to contact icarsoft via emails a couple of weeks ago but I didn't get any response. I went to an indy garage who has PIWIS , they can access DME so it means there is no problem with DME . In conclusion iCarsoft POR II does not have capability to access DME in my Cayman S 987.2 .

POST 10Original post

Recently had the same issue. I am guessing mine is plugs/wires, but would love to know for sure without having to get it scanned. What did yours end up being?
