  • Durametric is one of the most recommended diagnostic tools for Porsche vehicles. Watch me use it on my Porsche Boxster 986. It can help diagnose fault codes, reset them, help to diagnose various systems, and even do a little programming on the car. This video walks you through installing the software and using the tool via the OBD port on the car.

    Thank you for the quick overview, I needed this, never used my durametric before and didn't really know where to start or how to navigate. Just installed on my computer but haven't connected to the car yet, will be making some videos about it of my own once I have a look around, thanks again, much appreciated.

    Did you ever figure out why the VINs weren't listed? I bought a used cable that should have 1 VIN used by the original owner - but I don't see any VINs listed either. BTW, really appreciate the channel as it has been really helpful helping my son and I get his fixer upper up and running!

    0:09 I thought so too. In fact I even borrowed a local owner's Durametric Pro (not limited by VINs) to check it out. But as time goes on you come across many instances where you are left scratching your head because the codes it comes up with are non-OBD. So what do they mean? Nothing to me and nothing to Durametric when I asked them and the internet is just as useless. I am about to order an Enigma Code Breaker to see if that helps. LOL

    And the Durametric Pro that I have still cannot do an ABS Bleed on my 991.1, even though that model has been out for about 10 years.
