WTB Durametric or similar code reader

Finished a big round of maintenance and wouldn't you know it....a check engine light popped up. So it's time to invest in a code reader. Looking for a durametric or something similar. Let me know what you've got.

If you just need a code reader, most of the mid range readers will work. If you want the detailed Porsche specific capabilities then a Durametric would be best. I have an Autel (not sure the model) that has Porsche specific functions, and it can reset some of the sub-subsytems like airbags and engine specific errors (I've had a recurring issue with the TPS throwing a code, and it will clear it), so it really depends on what you need. I have a friend with a Durametric, so that helps...

I just checked and mine is the Autel MaxiLink ML629, and it has Porsche specific options. And of course it is now $34 cheaper than when I bought it. The AP200 should work, although you may want to confirm with the seller on what functions will work on the Boxster.
