Why buy a Porsche 19 pin adapter cable?

• If you own an older Porsche, before the year 2001, your Porsche does not yet possess OBD2. Many models up to around the year 1996 use a 19 pin diagnostic connector. To read out your Porsche with this type of connector you will need this adapter cable and a suitable diagnostic tool that can handle older OBD1 connectors. Please note that this cable is not suitable for Durametric systems, these need a different pin-out. Please contact us for this.
