Help with a OBDII tools of choice.

My wife's Macan is coming up on two years old. The warning light for the intermediate service is on and warning her it is coming up due soon. It has just over 9,000 miles.




This is the list of stuff to do (with the real high mileage stuff edited out) that I plan to tackle.

The first step is to get a readout of the fault codes. I don't know of any, but I do know I will need a way the clear the intermediate service warning.

So my question is:

What tool is the one to get. The Macan is the only car we have with OBDII as my cars are from the mid 1980s.

I hear a lot about the Durametric, and that sounds like a good choice. But I would like some input from the brain trust on OBDII tools for Porsches.

Bonus question, where is a good source to buy one. I am leery of the once on Ebay as I hear there are cheap Chinese clones "out there" so I want a real one, and up to date.

The Durametric is likely overkill for the little I need it for. What is a good second option?
