I thought there were a few other differences, like not being able to change certain settings in the software or something like that?

It will re-set the service light, and allow you to troubleshoot an extensive range of items.

Not sure about the Macan, but on my Cayman I can turn off the seat belt buckle sensor, seat weight sensor (for air bags), and re-set the airbag light if there are no fault codes for the various air bags.

All of those items are pretty easy. I also bought a Hazet oil filter wrench. I've done a lot of other service on it, including changing the plugs and coils. Really simple. I also found that it's necessary to periodically remove the front bumper and clean out the radiators. Bumper removal is a simple 30 minute job.

Right, OBDII reader won't reset the service light. The only thing that'll do is check the codes for a CEL and reset those. Porsche have more computers and more lights, and those require a completely different reader/tool. I think the dealers/shops often use something called PIWIS? But I think the average user is more likely to have Durametric.
