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.
I think I covered Durametric Pro here. It also queries the ECU for over-revs, tells you how many total rotations the engine did in each over-rev range. Crazy stuff. I would buy the Pro if you're even considering buying another Porsche.

The Pro version will allow you to turn off the ding-ding-ding when you unbuckle the seat belt. That's what I meant when I wrote that you can turn off the seat belt sensor.

With Durametric you can also cycle the brake servos in the MC, test run the windows, reset trouble codes that don't even show up with normal code readers, etc. The ONLY problem with Durametric is that you're limited to one and only one car. Pro solves that.
