No generic OBD2 scanner can do that.

Not quite correct; many aftermarket scanners cannot even see some codes on Porsche's, or completely misread them. While all "global" OBDII scanners can read standard emissions codes (miss fires, O2 sensors, etc.), they cannot even see Porsche's proprietary code areas. We often have customers come into the shop say their car is throwing this or that code according to their iphone, only to find something entirely different when we scan them.
And based upon what dealers are charging to scan cars, the Durametric pays for itself the first time the car codes...........
