I have a PIWIS II system running v17.500. It connects and diagnoses to anything later than 2005, eg 997, 987 etc, but it will not allow me to run diagnostics on 996 cars. I can select Porsche 996 under the Diagnostics menu, but when I start to interrogate the car, I get presented with a menu of cars that are all 997 or newer. I tried selecting 997, but the diagnostics fail.
The PIWIS 11 will diagnose the 996 and even further back to the 993, 964,, 928 and 968 if you have proper adapter plug. I have helped with quite a few PIWIS II units and all of them cover all models from 90''s forward up thru 2017 models.
Please post a photo from your screen after you have selected doagnostics an f then , 911 with the various 911 models it is displaying. That should and confirm that you have 18.1 and the models available to you as a start.
Hello,
you probably have a bad Samtech interface,
It is surely an interface FTDI type ALLSCANNER, it emulates the samtech driver to work.
in the periferic manager, either you hsx for the original head or very good copy or com com for the wrong head.
If you want to have the certification open your case, you will see right away if it's a samtech or not,
double pcb - samtech
simple pcb - all vcx scanner bad interface
. use google to see the differences ;-)
sorry for the translation I am French-speaking Belgian.
See you soon
Durametric has always run well behind the current model years as they have to obtain the latest models and then spend a considerable amount of time and effort to crack the DME's. Asking someone to lend you their brand new $150,000 car for a couple of weeks has its limitations.
Porsche PIWIS II diagnostic tool is designed to work with newer Porsche models and may not be compatible with older models such as the 996 and 986. It is recommended to use a different diagnostic tool specifically designed for these older models to diagnose any issues.
On the tablets, it runs inside a VM. The OS is Windows 7. I have not tried a native installation as none of the newer tablets have drivers for windows XP, and I don't know if the touch screen will work or not. The advantage of this setup is that you can use the tablet for other things too, and not just PIWIS...
A legit PIWIS 1 does not exist. Porsche killed all the tools in their last update. I know some Porsche dealers that were begging for something like this when it all happened, simply because for older cars (through 997), the PIWIS 1 is the preferred tool.
Interesting. I wonder what V35 actually has over V34. The diagnostics module is exactly the same (the most important feature) and the Fault Finding and Wiring Diagrams are older versions anyway. Does anything appear below that which is V35?
We understand the diverse demands of the industry. Need a different setup? Whether it's replacing an older version system with another system, adding additional systems, or adding a generic scan tool for specific needs, we've got you covered. BMW + MERCEDES? VAG + JLR? How about all 4? ALL IN ONE LAPTOP. Any combination of systems is possible. Get your Custom-made diagnostic system NOW!

VNCI PT3G Porsche Diagnostic Scanner Compatible with Original Driver
The VNCI PT3G Porsche Diagnostic tool is designed for diagnostic, programming and immobilizer operations on both old and new Porsche models. Compatible with the original Porsche diagnostic system PIWIS software driver, supports the latest PIWIS software and any PIWIS version. It can completely replace the original Porsche diagnostic tool PT3G. VNCI PT3G supports USB connection.
VNCI PT3G Porsche Scanner Features
The PORSCHE PIWIS Diagnostics system is used for fault finding diagnostics and code refresh programming of the control unit for Porsche vehicles, and the PIWIS3 TESTER integrates complete diagnostic functions for all Porsche models. PIWIS3 also allows different control units to be read simultaneously, simplifying diagnostics. Ecus can be coded automatically, individually, or from a control table. The PIWIS3 vehicle status record (known as the VAL Protocol - Vehicle Analysis Log) is now automatically registered when the vehicle is in use, during maintenance, and after maintenance has been completed. The PIWIS3 can be used for DC and AC voltage measurement, DC and AC current measurement, diode test, resistance measurement, on/off or open circuit test to show the change of voltage, current and resistance over time, with oscilloscope function.
PIWIS3 Software system Troubleshooting Guide is faster and easier to use. It can display all diagnostic information, initiation procedures, and possible fault sources, and significantly revised "guided fault finding" (GFF) means that repeated repairs (" first fix ") are further reduced. Integrated online teaching function, easy operation, integrated new database, direct access to the Porsche PIWIS workshop technical information system
The new Panamera can only be diagnosed using the Porsche Piwis Tester IV. According to the current project plan, all early models will be gradually replaced by the new Porsche Piwis Tester IV by the end of 2010. The Porsche PIWIS Tester IV covers all-new Porsche models such as the all-new Panamera 971, Cayenne 9Y0 E3, Panamera 992, Cayman 982 GT4 Clubsport, etc., which do not support the PIWIS II at all. Will not support it in the future.
Support Porsche. Once the early diagnostic procedures are transferred to the Porsche Piwis Tester IV, the Piwis Tester I will no longer be available. When Porsche Piwis Tester IV is distributed, it will include a basic software. This is necessary to start and configure the tester. This system will support Porsche Macan CarPlay activation and PPN online remote support, it does not support Porsche CarPay full screen activation.
4. Finally, connect the VNCI PT3G or the original PT3G/PT4G device, run the ACTIA_D-PDU_API_Tester.exe program, click Start to run, all communication protocols are completely passed, indicating that the original device driver is fully restored to normal, as shown below:
The Porsche PIWIS 3 (PST3) is the newest Diagnostic Tool in the market. It can read trouble code, clear trouble code, shows ECU information. It test live data, display actual values, and programs. On all; process malfunction navigation, showing all interior circuit diagram. Specially if were produced after 2005. The PIWIS III has original oscillometer and multi-meter Function. It is the absolutely necessarily tool for the job.
