code scanner suggestions - 993

Just moved sideways to a 993 so am researching code scanners/capabilities.

Any suggestions or "Stay away froms" ?

Thanks

A basic OBDII scanner (I use an Actron) will read most of the codes you need, reset CEL's and tell you if the readiness indicators (for smog) are set.

If you want to get into airbag or ABS control, then you have to step up to a durametric for the factory PSTII.

Durametric is pretty good but not perfect

Durametrics is as close to the real Porsche scanner as you can get. Plus they have GREAT customer service and will help you

What year 993.

The 1995 had OBD I with an OBD II connector...at least mine does.

The 1996 and up models as with any make/model car went to OBD II.
