It doesn't really do any more than the other thing I posted does tho, I don't really care about the car info, I can see my badge says boxster. The airbag light isn't a problem either, got electrical tape for that lol.
Can we get a tool like Porsche uses that does all the stuff on the ecu thats programmable? Apparently they can change all kinds of stuff on the car with their tool.

Hi,
Yea, you can purchase the PST2 Tool from Porsche, but it has a
Gelded version of the Software used by Porsche Dealerships - an effort to comply with OBDII Laws which state that Independent Service Shops must have access to some (but not all) of the Data Parameters. This is to preserve some profitability to the Dealerships.
IIRC, the base Unit costs about $4k with annual Software upgrades running another $1-$2K and you must pay these fees because the Software contains a
Cinderella program which makes it inoperative after a year's use. The Dealerships pay $10k upfront with annual fees of $4k. If Cost = Capabilities, it appears the Dealerships can do waay more with theirs than you'll be able to do with yours. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
