Since the basic Durametric has a limited number of VINS, most people will not share it with the causal aquainance.

You need to find someone with the unlimited version. Indy shop.

Plus, I don't know that a Durametric can enable the OBC? Perhaps the unlimited version? You can check the durametric website.

I believe you are correct, sir.
I found this in the procedure:
"When the installation is complete, the computer will not work, unfortunately, until the coding is modified in the instrument cluster using the Porsche factory PST-2 or PIWIS programming tool.

For some reason I think I just jumped to the conclusion that it could be done with a Durametric.

I enabled the OBC on my '04 with my Durametric (enthusiast) after I installed the correct OBC stalk w/wire (thanks, pdwight).
