Introduction
eSID 03-06 (here referred to as eSID) is an integrated add-on system to the Saab NG9-3 2003-2006
which gives the driver the possibility to read internal hidden performance data from the vehicle on
the normal display (SID) together with additional functionality like one-touch-three-blink-indications,
the manual wiper interval function and the possibility to read all fault codes

in the vehicle and have
them displayed on the integrated standard display.
*) All fault codes in the vehicle, not just the Engine emission codes like the basic diagnostic tools.
The standard display, SID (Saab Information Display) is controlled by the Infotainment System (more
specifically the Infotainment Control Module (ICM) and the SID control panel (SIDC).
The ICM exist in three-different equipment levels:
• ICM1 – No Display
• ICM2 – Monographic Display
• ICM3 – LCD Display
The figure below shows how these three components look like (Example equipped with ICM3):
Components related to the SID
The standard functionality is that the ICM unit reads the status of the switches/encoders from SIDC
and then controls the output to the SID accordingly.
One of eSID main objectives is to be integrated with the original system and with a long press on the
INFO button on SIDC the SID will switch between ICM and eSID control, making the two systems work
side-by-side.
Note! It is strongly recommended to have ICM2 or ICM3 while using eSID due to limitations in the
Saab Infotainment System, please check the “Limitations” section in this manual.
It is also important to update the ICM system if possible and be aware that ICM could potentially
freeze and don’t go to sleep, please check the “Limitations” section in this manual.
