Works well with 2014 Cayenne Diesel

I bought this unit to reset the service interval codes on my 2014 Cayenne Diesel. As others have said, the manual is grammatically imperfect. However, the required operation was simple and could only be understood from the prompts on the device's screen. Good display and very easy to use. Just plug it into the ODB port and it will turn on automatically. I deployed it and did a code reset in less than 3 minutes. A really good product for the price and doesn't require a separate computer or power

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • dull packaging

Software updates are full of BUGS

If you just want to reset your Porsche service display and save yourself a trip to the dealer. It costs $150. If you intend to use it regularly and need the latest software updates, it might not be worth the hassle. Overall the product works as advertised however the product software updates and the program they use to perform updates are buggy and often crash. It took me several tries (using the right steps each time) to get the program to work. On a couple of occasions, the updater got stuck…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design

not impressed: diagnostic, test and measurement tools

I bought this specifically over the Foxwell 5030 because it had better reviews and was supposed to have better support. I connected it to my 981 Cayman but selected "Cayman". and got a link error. Finally I tried 981 Boxster and was able to connect. There was no link in the instructions to update the firmware but I saw it mentioned online. but it didn't seem to change the version on the device. I later noticed that the update added the files to the SD card that was also connected to my…

Pros
  • very impressive
Cons
  • faulty

Well made and serves its purpose.

If you own a Porsche, you'll quickly find that you need a special Porsche OBD reader to reset service reminders, refuse automatic oil changes, etc. Also, if you fire up the Check Engine light dial codes, you'll want access specific Porsche codes in addition to the generic codes that the $39 tool will give you. This Icarsoft product works once you get the hang of it and a few YouTube videos helped you out. The included instruction manual is printed in fine print, one step ahead of the…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Not sure

Works as advertised with some minor caveats

I ordered this to check the diagnostics and reset the service interval message on my 2014 Cayman S after servicing 60,000 miles. Updated software before use. The upgrade process was simple and straightforward. Connected to my car via the OBDII port and was able to easily reset service interval alerts. I went to diagnostics and things got a little weird, but I quickly found a workaround. My car was listed in the division simply as a Cayman, while the Boxster was listed as a 981 Boxster, although

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • No instructions

Software update maintenance

device worked as described. The interface is reminiscent of a 10-year-old GPS and is just as slow. But again, this is a carport interface and a USB 1.0 port used for a computer. The manual was spartan too, and you had to fiddle with menu screens to get things done. In fairness, the device performed reasonably well. The question concerns "Upgrade". They install a program on your computer that forces you to enter an email address and one of the identifiers on the main screen. They could just send

Pros
  • great for me
Cons
  • updates
