Question Bosch or Siemans?
I've read conflicting information in terms of what years the Bosch software is used vs Siemans. Can someone with certainty clarify?

I've read that the 04-06s have the Bosch software, but I've also read conflicting information that they switched to Siemans in 2006.

MY 2008 has switched from a Bosch ECU to a Siemens SDI.

Siemens AG is not Greek, I wish it was, it's German and it's a huge company.

Also builds RUF's electric motors and DMEs.

VAG COM works for 2005+ Cayenne, but I'm not sure for which model exactly.

Durametric made a beta update in August 2010 and now supports all 2003 - 2010 Cayennes, including the Siemens SDI4 engine unit for 2008+ models.

Sorry, I assumed you didn’t know since you mentioned Greece being a third world Country, which is wrong by any standard, either the gross domestic product list or by the former use of the term 'Third World Country' that arose during the Cold War to define countries that remained non-aligned. Not even by the term “third world countries” that is mistakenly used now to define the Developing Countries.
