But the way I understand it, the Durametric can actually reprogram things like passenger side airbags, temperature display, etc. (Correct me, Durametric users, if I have misunderstood this.)
How deep do you need to go? The generic OBDII tool might well be enough.

Because Porsche choose to use an unusual diagnostics system, most aftermarket scanners either cannot read many codes, or totally misread them, and cannot clear common MIL's like the air bags, PSM and ABS system codes on Porsche's. It is not unusual for a customer to come into the shop say I have this or that code that I got off my iphone; and when we scan the car, we get something else entirely.
Based upon what people have paid dealers to scan or clear codes, the Durametric system pays for itself the first time the car codes.........
