iCarsoft POR II for Porsche_Porsche scanner
OK, I am completely ignorant about the new cars and the computers. My 1980s cars don't have much to interface with.

We have a 2017 Macan on order and it is supposed to be here mid March. The dealer wants $240 for an oil change. The parts are close to $100 from what I have read. My question is simple. Can the iCarsoft Por II reset the oil change warnings and do the things likely necessary like maybe a airbag warning light reset and such? In 21 years I have owned my 911 the airbag warning and ABS lights have never been an issue. It is like the water pump and power steering pump on the 911, never been an issue at all.

I hate buying a tool and then finding out for a little more I could have the tool that really does what I need. But I see no reason to buy a pro version of the Durametric if the competition has a $200 version.
