I tried one but never got it to work so I bought a 2nd hand Durametric (enthusiast model with one car used) and that's fine.

Does everything, live data, over-revs the lot, but I have to tell it my car is a 993 for it to reset airbag lights.
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.

I get the occasional fault code on my dash since I replaced my cats with 200 cel big bore ones. It costs me a tenner to get the code removed each time, so I am after my own one so I can remove them myself. Can anyone recommend a decent model, then tell me where I plug it in?
This is alright and you can also read the live data with it too:

Plugs in passenger footwell on the LH side under the glovebox.
I have an ELM 327 bluetooth OBD dongle that costs about £3 from ebay and the Torque app on my android phone, reads fault codes and clears the EML light with a few taps of the phone screen and works on all makes of cars.
I also have the Porsche Specific icarsoft 960 fault code reader for non EML codes for airbags and abs faults etc which is about £100 from the manufacturers :thumb:
I also have a bluetooth plug like Kris & the Torque app on my Xtrons head unit so I can see live data, faults, GPS info, the works whilst I'm on the move.
I use a chinese "piwis" from eBay, its actually a durametric clone nothing like Piwis. I think it was £8 delivered.

I bought the cheap Chinese clone too - but couldn't get it work on any of the modules except the alarm. So it was useful to know which bit was causing the odd alarm not setting thing.. but no luck with things like ABS, gearbox, A/C etc etc.
I think 996.1 has better luck?
Oh you also need an XP computer. Not one in a VM environment - an actual XP laptop.
