If you’d love to hear which OBDII scanner best for Porsche Boxster, you’ve come to the right article.
In the following, I’d like to recommend some decent Porsche Boxster OBDII Scanners.
Autel DiagLink diagnostic tool: Yes for Porsche Boxster
I recently purchased an Autel DiagLink. It can be used as a OBD II scanner on all cars but has the ability to have specific manufacturer software added. It is about $100 and you get one free manufacturer download. The Porsche download gave the ability to read and erase codes from the DME, Alarm, Air Bags, etc. It is nice to have the ability to reset the Air Bag warning light. I also used to read and reset the central locking alarm faults. Accessing the DME gives the ability to see data real time such as the cam deviations. Additional manufacturer downloads are available for $10 each which is reasonable if your fleet does not have too many makes.
ose a problem that your dealer has (The multi-thousand dollar multi-volume maintenance/repair manuals). Often the codes can have multiple causes. The dealer (and some independent mechanics) have multi-volume service manuals, PST2 code analyzers and additional diagnostic tools. The service manuals give the equivalent of flow charts to show how the mechanic should test to further isolate the real problem from among the many possibilities. That the same code can be caused by several causes explains why, in forums, you can get people asserting that their fix is the right one for your codes when someone else is equally sure the codes point to a different cause/fix.
And no seller should object to a simple connect and scan. Once you show you are seriously interested. If they do, walk away.
