VXDIAG Porsche VCI Driver PT3G Not Installed Solution

Problem:

One of our customers set up OEM Porsche piwis iii software (not our HDD/SSD) with the VXDIAG VCX SE device. After install Porsche PT3G VCI driver in manager, the vcx se device cannot detect software,  vx manager reported an error “PT3G not installed”.

Here is the clue.

If use OEM or 3rd party Porsche piwis3 software, you also need to install original PT3G VCI driver.

We don’t provide OEM driver.  Need to find driver by yourself.

Or use our software SSD.

The PIWIS software is a bit odd and not always straight forward, so we share how to update the battery after changing it out.

Opening screen – select Diagnostics

you can manually select your car or wait for the auto-detect

once selected, the software will start communicating with the car.

you can just hit F12 at this point

after a couple minutes this screen will appear, you can just hit F11(no) as it is only necessary warranty repairs

once this screen comes up, select “Energy Management”

then select the Maintenance / repair Tab

things get more straight forward at this point, select Battery Change and hit F12

you can now select the battery typre, size and manufacture

as noted elsewhere you can simply enter Zero’s for the serial number and part number, once you’ve entered both hit any of the write (pencil) buttons and you are done.

VXDIAG iCarsoft Autel or Xtool for 2018+ Porsche?

What is a the preferred OBD2 scanner and service reset tool for 2018 Panamera 4 and newer cars?

Here is the clue:

iCarSoft Pro 2.0: $270. It is not compatible with (model 971) of newer Panamera, it works fine with older Panamera models (model 970) up to 2017.

No coding capabilities, but does a fine job at reading and erasing MIL codes, diagnostic information, and oil change interval resets.

 

Durametric: it does not support any Porsche past 2015.

 

Autel MX808: is not compatible with new Panamera

 

Autel MP808:  unfortunately the car was not supported by this scanner. The funny thing that, the unit shows Porsche car model and was able to read the car VIN. There was only two items to choose from “odomoter support” and “Oil rest”, both items did not work and not able to do any thing with this scanner. It has many more function and items for other cars but not meant for Panamera or even Porsche. In addition, the unit will need an annual subscription for $350, for updates and only the first year is free once you register it.

 

Xtool D7/D8: The D8 picked up the vin automatically but identified the car wrong. Also pulled in some incorrect failures. The xtool support put me in touch with engineering and they released a patch right away to fix the incorrect model identifier but tool doesn’t support service reset needs and still some bugs reading all modules

 

VXDIAG Porsche MultiDiag: 

The best software of diagnosis definitely is PIWIS. But does cost some coin.

Solution is Piwis 3, which is now available for less.

It will be a little difficult for newbies.
If you need full system diagnosis and want to play coding, this is the better choice.

PIWIS iii works fine with both new and old Porsche models from 2005 to 2022/2023.

Paramera (971) 2018-
Caynenne (92A) 2018-
Macan (95B) 2018-
911 (991) 2018-
and other old models
