Airbag deactivation: PST2 PIWIS

Any experience with this eBay el-cheapo "New Diagnostic Tool Cable OBD2 OBDII For Porsche Piwis"

I have the airbag deactivation switch, just need something to program the "Child Seat Occupancy" setting to "Active"

Thanks in advance!

I ordered the same cable and it didn't ever connect to the software they included, or any other version. I complained and got my money back but still have the cable. Their refund reasoning was 'it's not compatible with your car, our apologies'. What they met to say was that it doesn't work with any Porsche.

Actually a poorly made knock off of the old and now obsolete Durametric 5 system. Junk.

Find someone in your area with a real Durametric Pro or a real PST II or PIWIS. 5 min. project..........
