Vag-Com can check everyone's car, all day long. and there's a lot more VW's on the road than porsches.

Ummmmm..........From Ross-Tech's (the creators of Vag-Com) web site:

“Porsche: Although Porsche now owns more than 50% of Volkswagen AG, Porsche still does diagnostics quite differently than VW and VCDS does not do OEM diagnostics on most Porsche system. However, we've heard good things about Durametric's Diagnostic Tool for Porsche.”

So it won’t do quite every car……………
