Odd enough, in my country the Siemens ECU and other hardware are often blamed for the unpopularity of an engine which was fitted to some Argentinian versions of the Ford Ranger until late-2011.

OBD test is required on cars registered 01/2001 or later, and it's a problem if going for aftermarket ecu..
Only in 01/2012 OBD-2 compliance became mandatory in my country, yet I'm not sure if the most popular aftermarket ECU supplier has any product suitable to this requirement.
