Default Durametric owner willing to help reset service light

After changing oil and filter recently, I still have the service interval light on in the Boxster. Anyone with a Durametric willing to help? I know the enthusiast versions are limited to a number of VINs, and I don't want to use one of your allotments...so I'm open to other ideas.

I have a Durametric Pro (unlimited). If you want to drive down here, we should be able to reset your light.

For the future, you might want to look into something like the iCarsoft POR V2. If memory serves it was ~$145 when I bought it reset my airbag light after a shifter install. Handles service interval resets as well.

I did see that as an option as well, but didn't see them for that cheap. IIRC, they were about as expensive as the Durametric enthusiast package. I may not have been looking in the right spot, though.

I'm a bit hesitant to spend too much, as the car will _truly_ be for sale in the fall, and the replacement won't require it. I've advertised the Boxster here for a few months, but I'm really enjoying it too much to sell it right now.

Once my LS1/951 is closer to completion, I'll need to sell the Boxster for spousal harmony. I can't complain too much...I have a DD, a fun car/track car, and a motorcycle.
