My biggest grip with Porsche is their proprietary software. Durametric doesn't do everything you need and no way I'm spending $10K on software or buying some Chinese made system to bleed the brakes. Sure would be nice if congress could get their act together and pass a right to repair bill.

Most decent code readers offer versions specific to a given marque that will perform all maintenance functions and some basic coding. For instance I have a CReader Elite that’s made for Mercedes, it will do all of the functions for maintenance reset, brake bleeding, coding new batteries, reading proprietary codes, electronic parking brake, etc. It was under $200. I’m shocked Duramatric won’t do brake bleeding but I haven’t used it in years either.
