All Porsche models with "service interval alert" systems require either the PIWIS or Durametric system, nothing else works that I am aware of, although I have been hearing that with some of the later VW software may be capble of doing it on the Cayenne (only), but I have not been able to confirmed that.

i heard there was a reset procedure for early models which i had ago , i got it to say "reset serivce confirm" and that was as far as that way worked , but your comment is interesting , i have got the full VAG COM diagnogstics so will give that a go and report back .

Would be interesting to know as the writers of some of the VW software have repeatedly said the two systems are far too different for one diagnostic software to work on the other, but rumors persist that some functions are accessible on the Cayenne using the VW system. Considering the relationship between VW and Porsche, not to mention the vast similarities between the Touareg and Cayenne, that some cross over would be possible. But in any case, the PIWIS and Durametric do work on all Porsche models, including the Cayenne.
