The Durametric site generally has a list of all the airbag, transmission, settings, etc that it will do that a OBD2 won't. Lots of Porsche specific things the OBD2 standard doesn't require a manufacturer to reveal but which Durametric has figured out over the years. Great tool.
If you are going to do serious work on a Porsche, Durametric is highly recommended.

Oh, no doubt that the Durametric is the way to go! I just wanted to see what my standard OBDII reader was going to pull up, since my CEL was on. I was fully expecting a long list of codes, but I was lucky and only one came up, P0430 (Catalytic Converter Conversion Too Low- Cylinders 4-6). Which through a search here is probably due to a faulty O2 sensor.
This forum is awesome! TONS of great info with people willing to share, maybe I'll get a Durametric for Christmas!
