For $27 you can get a very early version of the software and do it at home.

Durametric Interface Diagnostic Cable For Porsche Car ,Can Access All Systems | eBay

DO NOT try to use the more modern version of the software. it will kill the cable.

Chinese cable. See comments by JFP elsewhere.Ironically it works(?) because it is such an old version.Oh well maybe there is some merit to the clone cables after all. Good suggestion thank you

I bought one of those to play with when I got my first Boxster. It read the DME on my '99 but didn't work with any other modules (did not reset the airbag). It required a Windows XP computer and did not work with later versions. Not saying they all won't work, just be sure to read the fine print (if they bothered to print it).
