It really doesn't make a difference which OBDII scanner you're using they're all the same. If you want more (Porsche specific) info you need to get a Durametric scanner

Thanks... I've decided to go for a more inexpensive one... Actron.

I think there's a servo (an electric motor- right?) that locks and unlocks the fuel filler door. Maybe just sticking from sitting or there's corrosion in the contacts?

Hi... I just surfed their website. I don't know how their Boxster parts pricing would look like.

Thanks for sharing.
