The VNCI PT3G diagnostic scanner is compatible with original PIWIS drivers and software without the need for cracked or patched versions. It serves as a replacement for the original Porsche diagnostic tool PT3G, supporting a wide range of Porsche models from 1996 to the present, including the 9PA, 9YA, 9YB, 92A, 95B, 918, 970, 971, 981, 982, 986, 987, 991, 992, 996, 997, Y1A, and more.
Why Choose VNCI Porsche PT3G?
Compared to the OEM PT3G, custom VAS 615A, and other PT3G tools, the VNCI PT3G offers several advantages:
- Compatibility: Supports original PIWIS drivers, CAN FD/DOIP, multiple versions of PIWIS, and the KW71 protocol (vehicles before the 1995 model year).
- Coverage: Works with Porsche vehicles from 1996 to 2023.
- Ease of Use: Plug and play with free firmware updates.
Limitations of Custom VAS 615A and Other Tools:
- Custom VAS 615A: Modifies PIWIS software drivers based on VAS6154A hardware but has incomplete protocol layer communication logic, limiting diagnostic, programming, and immobilizer functions.
- Other Tools: Do not support original PIWIS drivers, KW71 protocol, and often require software patches, making them incompatible with older Porsche vehicles.
