Four generations. One clear sweet spot.

The POR V3.0 keeps the proven 4-inch button-operated format of the POR V2.0 — then adds the two things workshops kept asking for: bi-directional control (active tests) and a vastly expanded set of high-level service functions. Here is exactly how it stacks up against the POR V1.0, POR V2.0 and the touchscreen flagship POR V4.0.

Core service resets, full-system access and lifetime free updates are shared across the range.

FAQ
Good to know before you buy.

Yes. POR V3.0 includes lifetime free software upgrades. No annual subscription required.

The ultimate upgrade of the POR V3.0 over the POR V2.0 is its newly added Bi-Directional Control (Actuation Tests) capability and a significantly expanded range of service reset functions, both of which are completely unsupported on the older POR V2.0.

It doesn’t mean the device is faulty. You can send your vehicle VIN number to our support team; we will check if AutoVIN function supports your vehicle. If not available yet, you can manually select the vehicle model to diagnose, normal functions won’t be affected. Our R&D team will add your VIN information into the database and release relevant updates later.

Please keep ignition on and engine off. Record freeze frame data first before clearing codes.

Persistent hardware faults need physical repair prior to code clearance.

Some fault codes of systems like SRS and ABS can only be cleared after finishing bidirectional tests.

Please verify your vehicle model and production year. POR V3.0 supports Porsche models manufactured from 1996 to 2025. Certain service functions for 2024 vehicles are still being optimized. Disable the vehicle power-saving mode and update your firmware and software to the latest version.

I mainly bought this as I do my own oil changes and will use it to identify any DTC's in the future if needed. Worked flawless and read my VIN in auto mode on initial setup. Resetting oil change interval was a breeze. Well worth the cost

Great product! It cleared codes, as advertised.

Great product! I was concerned it wouldn't clear the code with the latest generation of Porsche software, but iCarsoft did exactly that. My only complaint is that the interface could be a little easier to maneuver through. Otherwise, it cleared codes, as advertised.

Needed a scan tool and the generic one that I had for my GM vehicle wouldn't work. The iCarsoft POR V3.0 was able to easily connect and provide me all of the information I needed to repair my vehicle. Cleared all of my codes and afterwards everything has been fine.

Worked for Cayman GTS 4.0

I bought this to reset the oil service interval on a 2021 Cayman GTS 4.0. The auto VIN reader did not work, but my car was correctly recognized after entering the VIN, a somewhat cumbersome process. The reset was also a little clunky, including entering the exact time of the last oil change, and I did it twice before I was able to confirm that it worked. But it did the reset, so I'm satisfied. I was also able to read past codes for when the dealership overfilled my oil, so the code reader also seemed to not only work, but provide some useful information. In the service menu structure, I see functions for replacing a battery and for bleeding the brakes. Assuming those service functions also work, I don't have any reason to buy the pricier 3.0 version, and consider this an investment that will pay for itself very quickly.

Oil Reset Porsche 911 (991).

Super easy to use and very intuitive. My only purpose for this is to reset the oil change message and it worked. This item will save me 350.00 every year. Paid for itself the first time I used it.

Oil Life Reset

I bought this OBD II to reset the oil life on my porsche cayenne. The Porsche dealership wants $400 to change oil. One DIY oil change has paid for iCarsoft tool. Haven't tried any of the other features on the iCarsoft tool, but at this point everything else is just a bonus.

Very nice but did not read my issues

Really nice device. Unfortunately it did not read the issues I was having. I would have kept it, but I'm trading in my car soon for a new model and this one does not support new Porsche 911. I think I will return to purchase it at a later date, but for now I will need to get something like a Duramax which is more expensive but has more options for diagnosing more items hopefully the ones I am having issues with.

DIY must have for any Porsche owner

It actually works!

Purchased this scanner for a 2008 Porsche Cayenne S, and it worked!!!I have spent about $1,000 trying out different scanners that people said had worked. None of them did until this one.Reset my oil light, reset my air bag light after I replaced my buckle.Unfortunately it didn��t scan anything until I forced it to. Which was quite ridiculous, but I��m glad it worked anyway.

Just confirming that version 3.0 works to reset the oil maintenance on a Porsche Cayenne 2022. I just changed the oil and reset the service warning using this tool. No need to upgrade nothing.

Great upgrade from iCarsoft POR II

This is a worthwhile upgrade as functions like BMS reset, park brake air gap and PDK calibration on a 2016 Panamera are all possible with v3.0. Diagnostic menu has been expanded and is much easier to use. Was considering an off brand Piwis but this unit does everything I need so far. Definitely recommended :)

If you own a Porsche, you need this

It is amazing all the things this can do for your Porsche that a regular OBD2 sensor cannot do. Look at product details for a list of capabilities. I've used mine to reset Oil Service light and adjust mileage intervals. I adjusted tire pressure sensors after a tire rotation so dash would show proper pressure for correct tire. I reset service lights and modified service frequencies. I really like this thing.

Worked Perfect for a Macan GTS Brake Job

This tool was pretty handy for retracting the EPB on a 2021 Macan GTS. I read a few negative reviews and decided to update the software on the device before first use. That was surprisingly easy to do via a Windows 10 PC.Plug it in. It powers on. From there I spent about 20 seconds during "figure it out as you go" to get into the Service tab and then EPB. It provides some nice step by step instructions and even a few warnings when performing the EPB "return to home" command. Ignition ON, hit F1 and I could easily hear the motors retracting.This tool now lives next to the spare tire in the Macan in case it's ever needed for diagnosis or maintenance while out on the road.

Works for 2023 Macan after update using Apple MacBook.

I bought version V3.0 (Enhanced Version) and received it July 3, 2024. It came with software V32.60 and when I tried to reset the oil service interval on my 2023 Macan base it said it was not compatible, just like some previous reviewers mentioned. I went to the iCarsoft website and downloaded the latest software version (V33.60 as of July 13, 2024) and installed it using my Mac (they now have an Apple version of the installer, not just Windows). After the update, everything worked fine. The scanner seems well made and it was able to read my VIN without having to manually enter it. Haven't tried any other functions yet.

Great tool

Bought this specific iCarsoft for my Porsche Macan after returning a unit of the different brand which has useless manual and non intuitive interface. This unit came up after connecting to the OBD port. The VIN number has to be manually inputed vs smart scanned but all functions and steps were straight forward without using the manual. I was able to do oil and maintenance service reset easily and the warning light were off at the restart of the engine. There were also a lot of online posts and YouTube videos on DYI usage to reference. The other brand has a lot of good ratimgs but it��s all about the spec and capability of the tool, not how to use certain function�� can��t even figure the format for service date and the customer support in China didn��t respond in 2 days. Much happier with this tool especially it allows battery managemt as I am replacing that soon.

Easy to use intuitive interface, does what it's supposed to.

Purchased to replace an older unit which was end of support for updates. Listing Porsche as one of the models it supports, found it to work in 2014 Cayenne and 2010 Carrera. Reset the oil change counter, service interval, can do other things like TPMS, airbag, and more. Avoids a costly service call to do each of these things and given the cost, it pays for itself after the first use. Also puts the brakes into service position you can change pads with sufficient clearance.Found this to be logical, key entries result in what you would suspect, graphical interface is easier than the majority of those I've used. For the price it's worth it given the services you can do at home vice dealership. Recommend this, especially for Porsche and it is a fraction of the Durametric tool, though that one does a lot more. For simple services this one is a winner.

Save a ton of money

I purchased this tool so that I can reset my oil change light on my 2014 Carrera S (991).I still take it to the dealer and of course it cost a fortune to have the oil changed.I only put about 1200 miles per year on this car.I��ve also decided to have oil changed every other year.Which is probably still overkill.In any case I plugged this unit into the OBD socket in the lower left kick panel. The unit immediately identified the car and walked me easily through the process of resetting the service light for another year.The only thing that was a little bit confusing was when they ask you to enter today��s date for instance.You key it in to the unit year month day running all the digits together.No dashes,spaces or slashesI.e. 20221014. For today��s date, which is October 14, 2022It would be nice if when you key in the date, it would ask you to Key in month day year.And the option of putting in slashes, periods or spaces between the digits would also help.Rather than running all of the numbers together.I��ll do additional reviews as I do more functions,But for now as far as I��m concerned this gadget has already paid for itself.And it��s giving me a little bit of control over my car rather than having to rely on the dealer or a shop to do the simple little function.I��m also looking forward to being able to install my own battery when the time comes.I know that on a lot of these new cars you have to reprogram the cars computer every time you put a new battery in.Again that adds a few hundred dollars on the service if you have the Porsche dealer do it.
