Does the vag com software work on a 2003 Porsche 911? the connector is the same and they both use OBD2

kc

In generic OBD2 mode only AFAIK.

Ken,

I had a boxster service light put out the other day and they used Durametric software. The expensive Smap-on diag machine from the tuning house next door could not get into it, but the Durametric stuff worked without issue, like VAGCOM.

Also can I buy your numberplate yet?

Nice collection BTW.

Tomson

What do you think of my plate?

Very Nice and lovely Porsche - no doubt its stupid fast.

Getting back on Thread

surely you could point KC in he right direction with his question?

"Does the vag com software work on a 2003 Porsche 911? the connector is the same and they both use OBD2

VCDS works on Porsches in Generic OBD2 mode only, like PetrolDave said So if it's an airbag light or something other than engine/emissions related faults, VCDS won't be much help and only a PIWIS/Durametric will read/clear codes.

Yeah like your plate!!

Oh by the way my car is a factory produced Gemballa (stage 2)



So are you saying in "generic" mode it will not reset engine management light coming on because of a lamda, O2 sensor type fault?

Some of the £50 specials will supposedly do that

Nice and rare car you got yourself there kc

Generic OBD2 mode will clear all CEL's, however it won't solve the problem that triggered the CEL in the first place but it will read the codes and clear them, yes

OT I know but Ken, nice to see one of the original RS Drivers Challenge drivers in the video still has their car!

I have got a quick question regarding this Porsche connection.

I have just bought a Targa 911/996 and was hoping to get it scanned. I have not got the car until the weekend so can't have a look at the connection.

Will my VAGCOM scan the car or do I need and adaptor like some of the ones I have seen on Ebay, 16 pin to 19 pin. I'm not fussed about clearing faults if there are any, just want to see what is stored at the moment.
