Durametric (and also PIWIS) problem


Recommended Posts

Hello to all, I had a problem with Durametric cable since the diagnostic only has success with engine, tiptronic and instrument cluster modules, but fails with the other ones.

I drove the car (99 c2 cabrio) to the Porsche service in order to try with PIWIS, and they told me that there was some problems, and this BECAUSE PCM WAS REMOVED. My audio system was in fact modified installing a mini Ipad instead of the PCM, but I have seen many others Porsche 996 owners did the same and it seems both Durametric and PIWIS work on their cars.

Any idea? Suggestions?

On PIWIS you can run individual module tests - so you would just skip the PCM tests.

 

Thank you a lot Loren, in fact at the service they told me to be not worried about this, since they can run individual tests, but it's a pity that I cannot use Durametric at his best. And, furthermore, I know that other guys installed an Ipad mini just like me and their Durametric works great. Maybe there is a chance to "reconnect" the chain, interrupted by the disconnection of PCM?

 

Thank you in advance

Thank you Loren, does that mean it is possible for the Porsche diagnostic to make my actual configuration "legal" so that I could use my Durametric?

Alternatively, if I reconnect my PCM, could this turn the car again "readable" to Durametric? If so, I could do this everytime I want to check the car with Durametric...
