Important information

We make the T-OBD adapter only, and have not made the Scantool software. We are unable to alter or add functions in the software. Scantool is freeware, made by people on Rennlist, the US-based Porsche owner community. 

We have seen several customers reporting problems connecting to the Motronic DME in 993 models with Porsche Drive Block immobilizer. This is a shortcoming of the Scantool software. We have no conclusive solution to this, see the discussion threads on Rennlist. Some describe a rewiring mod that overcome the problem. This problem affect the connection to the DME only, all other units (alarm, ABS etc) can still be contacted.

Most later 993 models (1996-1998) have a 996-type SRS airbag control unit, with a 996 part number. Scantool is incompatible with these units. This also applies to the Bosch "Hammer" diag tool.

Scantool software and T-OBD does not support the special C4 brake bleeding functions.

Please note that the rear-wheel-drive Porsche 964 Carrera (often called C2) have a ABS control unit without OBD diagnostic features or connections. Only the 964 Carrera 4 ABS/PDAS units have OBD capability. However, this applies to the ABS unit only, the Motronic, alarm, air bag and climate control units are available in the C2 models by using a OBD tool.

This product may not be possible to use in 993 models equipped with the rarely seen wide centre console option. (often named as the bat-phone console) The USB cable going to the PC will probably not fit in the deeper car diagnostic connector opening. An OBD extender cable may solve this. (not stocked)

Scantool works fine for reviewing and deleting fault codes in Porsche 968 engine control management, Air bag and Alarm system. However, it is not originally designed for using in 968, some of the engine Actual Values and others may be displayed wrongly.

T-OBD is Made in Norway, and has a USB-interface for connection to a Windows PC. genuine FTDI USB-chipset.
