I know that many other peoples have the diametric tool and that is a very nice tool but I don't want to spent 250-300$ on the tool. I want to know if you have brand and model for me like ELM tool or something else.

choice:

small tool EBD2
cable ELM + program that install on my computer
bluetooth cable can work??

thanks for the info!

You need to also be aware that non Porsche specific OBD II tools are well known for reading false codes (non existent or erroneous) on Porsche's due to the unique diagnostics system used in the DME, and there are an entire laundry list of codes that it will not be able to clear if it can actually see them on a Porsche.
