This is my official first post. A couple of months back I purchased a 2004 Cayenne S with 24000 miles on it. I am a do it yourself kind of guy, so I plan on posting things I learn as time goes by. Anyway, my question: I just got the Durametric software and was wondering if there was a way to read the version # of the DME that is installed in my car using the software or any other way. My dealer said it has been updated, but I'm not sure if he was just blowing me off.
All Cayennes are DME 7.1.1.
The program is whatever the dealer chooses to upload based on country requirements.
If they chose US LEV (Low Emissions Vehicle) then they uploaded the latest program from Porsche. There really are no other options when you do a factory re-program. You use what Porsche gives you.
