Default Best scanner for 991 GT3's
I know Durametric doesn't go past 2015 so what is everyone using?

Default Durametric
Durametric works for clearing oil change messages on my 2018 991.2 GT3.

Not sure if the other functions are available as I haven't needed to try.

I have the same one but purchased the one with all the different makes of cars on it. Well worth it as I have used it to save my dad money on a couple of his Mercedes this past week.

I bought a Launch x431. I've used it to reset my 991.2 touring oil light, relearn a new airbag sensor on my gmc truck, and bleed the f1 system on my scud. it doesn't do everything I was hoping it would on the scud, and is probably overkill for resetting oil lights. Happy with it though overall.

Foxwell is trash....I just tossed a NT510 Elite in the trash this week. Had 1 for about 18 months and used it about 5 times. All of a sudden it couldn't connect to either of my cars. Contacted Foxwell and all they wanted to do was sell me another unit at a small discounted price. All of the updates you have to do aren't worth the time...in fact one of the update files had a virus so I'm sure that corrupted my unit. There are many comments out there about these units biting the dust around the 2 year mark. Buyer beware.......Phil

Thanks for the heads up.
That’s why this Forum is so valuable!

Did lots of research and landed here. It has already paid for itself and I love the TFT color screen. Also worth noting is the 2 year warranty......Phil
