Durametric possibly pulling incorrect values

I had to disconnect the passenger side door airbag as part of door panel removal, to replace the door lock mechanism. To check that I replaced the part correctly, I reconnected the battery and turned the ignition key, and got an "Airbag Failure" warning. The fault didn't clear even after disconnecting the battery, reconnecting the airbag and closing up the door panel, and reconnecting the battery. I confirmed the airbag was reconnected. I suspect that it may be a "latched' fault that can only be cleared via the Durametric tool - thoughts?

I'm unable to connect to the engine module on my '09 Cayenne with my new Durametric cable. I called tech support for an assist and was told that they are still working on coding to allow for connecting the 957 to the engine module. The Durametric website does list the MED9 for V6 as being available for reading/clearing codes. Wondering if anyone else has found a way to get this to work. I'm using version 6 software.

My car is a 2005 911 base model 997.
I had a tune installed and am having some issues with it. I only had the tune done because I put high flow cats on the car and had a stumble. The tune company is wanting a data log with the following actual values.
1. Engine RPM
> 2. Injection Time/Injection PW
> 3. Ignition Angle
> 4. Pedal Position
> 5. Actual Throttle Plate Angle
> 6.Actual Lambda Value Bank 1
> 7. Mean Fuel Trim Bank 1
> 8. Actual Lambda Value Bank 2
> 9. Mean Fuel Trim Bank 2
I started out trying to get this done with Durametric. The first obstacle I ran into was Durametric did not have compatibility with the variant on my ECU. I called their support and they were able to quickly get this resolved. The problem that I have now is that I don't have any actual values for the Actual Lamda Value for Bank 1 or Bank 2. Durametric basically told me that they have nothing to do with the values and if its not in there they can't help me.
The following is all the Actual Values in Durametric that I have to choose from.
1. AC pressure
2. Actual Camshaft angle bank 1
3. Actual Camshaft angle bank 2
4. Actual throttle plate angle
5. Air Mass 1 (sensor)
6. Altitude correction Factor
7. Ambient Pressure from DME
8. Ambient temperature
9. Camshaft deviation bank 1
10. Camshaft deviation bank 2

23. Engine roughness cylinder 1
24. Engine roughness cylinder 2
25. Engine roughness cylinder 3

I am looking for other means to get a quality data log. I have just purchased an ODBlink MF wi-fi unit. I also have a few phone apps like Torque Pro, OBDdoctor pro, and OBDLink. The problem I am having is they have several Lambda PID's to choose from and am not sure witch ones to use.
If anyone has suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. even if the solution is using a totally different data logger.

Hello. Great site. I recently purchased a 04 996 AE with 113K. My OBD showed random misfires. I checked the plugs and coils. Coils were cracked so I replaced all plugs and coils. The plug condition was consistent across all cylinders... ash gray color and no pitting or carbon or oily plugs. The misfire codes returned and I noticed the idle is rough but the engine pulls and is smooth off idle and through the rev range. I purchase the Durametric and I ran actual values (codes showed random misfires across most cylinders) the check engine light came on at one point but had gone away on it's one while waiting for my cable to arrive.
My problem is I have lots of data to look at but no way to understand or to translate it into actionable information. I am not even sure that I captured the right parameters for my misfire error codes. Is there a good place to look at what the actual values should be for a 996? or a link to any tutorials on how to read the data and translate that into a what to check or troubleshoot?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thoroughly utilized.
