Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 1 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

After failing smog test, dealer informed me my DME is not communicating... Wants to replace the DME and reprogram. Costs around $3200... Can I buy a pre-programmed DME off of the shelf / used from another 2006 Cayman S without having to reprogramming and incurring all of the expenses the dealer wants to charge?

POST 2Original post

My last wife quit communicating and it cost me half of everything I owned. Sounds like you got a good deal there. lol

POST 3Original post

First I would get second opinion from another shop or independent. I don't see why you could't buy used DME and get it reprogrammed if needed. My thought is that if you have failed DME failing the smog test would be the least of your problems.
