I was under the impression they discontinued that with the version 6 software, but as I have not tried the version 6 Enthusiast, I will take your word for it.
OK, checked with Durametric, you are correct. It is, however, one of the few examples of coding that the Enthusiast version is capable of, while the Pro version has a laundry list of coding ability.

How would the average owner utilize the coding abilities of the Pro version? I'm curious.

I don't think they would pay much attention to it; the later cars have more coding opportunities than the early ones, and some of the coding is very low key (for example, on the early 986's, you can set the door locks to lock automatically at 5 MPH). On the later cars you can adjust the ride height settings and how they activate on vehicles so equipped, play with how the memory seats work and so on. One of the biggest problems is that there is almost no reference information, even from Porsche, as to what is possible. A lot of coding capabilities are kind of "stumbled upon" while using the system, or read about when someone else finds it. Almost an "Easter Egg Hunt" kind of thing. Most shops have developed a list of what can be changed and by how much on their own. I think the real reason they took most of it out of the enthusiast version was that people were getting into trouble and not being able to get back to where they started.

Thanks; helpful info.
