I know I’m resurrecting an old thread but I have a 996 gauge cluster in my 986 and I want to sync up the mileages. The Aurelio Mk808 does not do Porsche mileage changes.
I bought an eeprom reader but I am having a hard time making it work. I connect the clip to the chip on the board but nothing happens on my computer. I bought a cheapo chip programmer on Amazon and I wonder if I don’t have what I actually need or if I am just doing it wrong.
What chip programmer hardware is good? Do I need a program for the computer to read and write values? From what I was reading in the Amazon page it seems like the seller is saying once it detects a chip the app should just pop up but I didn’t install anything special.
This is what I tried following and didn’t have any luck.

Both Boxsters I need to do are late-style cars, a 2001 and a 2004.
I super appreciate the help, thanks!
