I have the NT510 and it works pretty well, better with my BMWs though. I also got the Durametric as it can read things like overrev count (foxwell cannot) which is better but about twice what I paid for the Foxwell.

Did some searching on this. Found the link above. Doesn't give a map to where this data is stored, but it does show that it can be pulled. Did you all load/buy the "Porsche" make into your reader, or has that practice changed or something? Maybe that's why you're not seeing it yet?
EDIT: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...-software.html has a video review where he shows where he can find the overrev report... and he provides a time-stamp of where he does this. Man, I love it when people do that!
Yes, haven't tried the overrev report yet but eager to. Can you please share how to find that functionality?
I'll jump in my car after work today and then update this post with the steps and pictures. I didn't watch the video posted above, but I assume it will be the same.
I have no idea if this device will do that coding but I can confirm what the PIWIS/dealer can code this.
Hopefully someone with the Foxwell and PDK will see my question and see.. meanwhile I think I'm ordering one from Amazon - since if I don't like it - it goes back as long as I order it from them directly.

I don’t have PDK so I can’t access this function... I could try on my wife’s Macan if you’d like. Not sure what you’re looking to do.
I added the flappy paddles wheel to it (sport option wheel), which was an option in 2010. There are lighted indicators in the spokes for "Sport" Mode and "Sport Plus" and "Launch Control". The wheel works fine - but the lighted indicators don't light up. I know someone who claimed to have enabled these lights at a dealer using a PIWIS. My question is - is this capability available with the Foxwell?
Same same for my 2009 Cayman S - added the flappy paddle wheel and would be nice to get the spoke lamps lit as used as well.
I had thought a new clock spring was also going to be necessary, but perhaps not?
Good info. I asked Foxwell sales what the difference between the two are and was told (today) that aside from the vintage the software was identical. Guess not. I've also heard the 510 has some difficulty reading a fiber buss on the newer BMWs, and the 530 has a hardware change that fixes that problem. Foxwell sales will offer a pretty good price on either one if you ask, and they said they can place the order directly, they just need your Paypal to send an invoice to for payment. I ordered the 530 since it was only $20 more than the 510. Haven't seen the Paypal invoice yet - but expect I'll see it tomorrow.

Thanks!
According to the chap I talked to - it was plug and play, no new clock spring needed, but his might have been a 2010. I'll have to check with him (I think he's on 6-speed..)

Great. Please post when/if you use the special functions ( batt registration, ABS brake bleed, EPB release, PDK recalibration, PDK clutch oil refill) with results and I will do same. Hope others in community join in with their results.
