Hi
If you should choose a diagnostic tool and programming tool for your 997 (have plans for swapping some parts like steering wheel to a 991 and other things)
Which tool would you purchase then?

I've seen PIWIS 3 but they are at 1.800usd with laptop (Chinese)
I have a PIWIS 2 open and not limited in time etc (original tool) for 1.100 euros.
Both including all hardware (and laptop)

Well there might be other options which I dont know about yet.
Note: We are two guys sharing it

You have piwis 2 already? Or you can get it for 1100 eur?
There is nothing better than piwis. I have durametric which is great for diagnostics but cannot program modules like piwis

No I dont have anything at the moment, but I would like to have one. And we are two sharing the tool, so cost is not so critical as if it was on me own :wink:
 
If you want something with good diagnostic capabilities and ( limited) programming capability at a very reasonable price ( ca 150 USD?) then you can't go past the Foxwell NT 510/520. Both models have the same Porsche capabilities, the only difference being the 520 can be used for other vehicles as well. I used it to e.g. disable the rear spoiler lift after fitting a ducktail
 
Piwis 2 is what i use along with autologic and Piwis 3 ...

Piwis 3 is for 2017 and upwards atm , it will do every car but more aimed at the newer ones .. its dam slow and i would advise against it .

Auto logic is subscription based .

If you can afford a Piwis 2 then that's the best option .. it is what OPC used until a couple of years or so ago .

Warning ..

You can do immense damage if you mess around with it .. do NOT touch programing or auto coding .. basically ask first :D

Thanks for your suggestion - and the price makes it a must have.
I have bought the PIWIS

Fair play .. get a USB extender to protect the port .. it stops future problems with the computer usb port .

Thanks for that advice - better safe than sorry. I'll get an extender :)
 
Btw it looks like you have PET on there which is great for finding parts / part numbers .. have a look around to see if it also has Poses ..

Some of these units have that as well .. very useful .
