Original Launch X-431 OBDII Diagnostic Scan Tools

  Tutorial:   Porsche 981 power steering calibration to GT3. Model example:   2015 981S. Tool used:   Thinkdiag   or   Thinkdiag 2   Power Steering to GT3 Calibration: Pick up a ThinkDiag and perform GT3 steering calibration. Done it using Thinkdiag and Android phone. Warning, the software update and Porsche diagnostics upload took longer than expected so I strongly suggest to use a charger. I used Schumacker 10A and voltage never dropped below 12.3V from my 9 years old Banner battery (OEM). Steps: 1. Hook 10A charger directly to the battery. 2. Open Thinkcar+ app in android phone (register first using email address to save time) 3. Insert Thinkdiag to OBD port. Color will turn green 4. Turn ignition to ACC (do not start car) 5. Pair Bluetooth 6. Activate the Thinkdiag using serial # and activation code from the manufacturer 7. Software update might be needed. Ensure strong wi-fi signal in your garage. 8. Click VIN scan on the phone app 9. Porsche diag...

 About a month ago I purchased the ThinkDiag Bluetooh OBDII Scanner . I bought it to try activating a feature on my RV (Mercedes chassis). It was a well regarded scanner on the Mercedes Sprinter forum where I also hang-out. I figured it would be cheaper and less hassle to do the coding myself rather than deal with the clowns at the Mercedes dealership who will probably say it can't be done and would want to charge a minimum diagnostic fee as well as a min hour labor.. The ThinkDiag communicates via Bluetooth to the app which is installed on my phone. It easily did what I needed on the Mercedes and more. Plus I figured I'd have other uses in the future. Last week I was wondering how well it would support coding on my 987.2. I remembered long ago wishing I had a Durametric Pro (IIRC about $500 at that time) to activate some neat stuff on my 987.2 Cayman. There were some P-9 threads over 10 yrs ago that explained some default features that the Pro could modify via coding. But I ju...

I purchased $89 ThinkDiag coding scanner that came with licenses for 1 year for up to two manufacturers. I only used one manufacturer and only the Porsche had some potential I was interested in unlocking. More 1-year licenses could be purchased as needed for about $40 each per year, per manufacturer. All you had to do to activate a manufacturer was connect to the car's OBDII port. and download the manufacturer-specific software module. No cable needed since it all runs over Bluetooth on your smart phone or tablet (or even your Android based head unit). While I find their price scheme confusing and a little annoying, I think you are not limited by how many VINs - the licences seem to be per manufacturer. So I went back to find those old P-9 threads on activating/modifying 987 features. Use Google and you'll find lots of them on P-9 and other sites. I only found a couple "features" I wanted to try and maybe a few I'd like to play with. There are mor...
