I am hoping to see if there are updates to what to get to hook to a 2017 Macan. Is the Durametric really the best choice? I don;t have any need to mess with airbags or other tasks. Just rest the oil change and cabin filter. It is getting changed due to age, not mileage. It has a light on the dash that the change is due soon.

So Durametric, or an app for my cell phone? What say you?

I think you're still stuck with Durametric. And there are 2 levels of Durametric. I think one will read codes, but not write or change anything, and the other which is a lot more expensive is required to reset things. I could be wrong, but I think that's the case. I've looked at it before. I think the usual durametric is $300 or maybe $400 (not including the required laptop). And the other, that is required to change and reset things is $800 (not including the required laptop).

There does seem to be another tool available these days. This is a post from a Cayenne oil change thread...
