eSID 03-06 components
The eSID 03-06 consists of two components: eSID-HPD that mainly controls the display and eSID-GW
that is a data collection and pre-processing unit.
eSID-HPD
HPD is short for “High Position Display” and was the internal development name of the display
located near the windscreen on these model years (commonly known as SID, Saab Information
Display).
eSID-HPD needs to be installed behind the SID, in series with the display cables between ICM and
SID. See separate Installation Guide.
eSID-GW
eSID-GW (Gateway), needs to be placed in the diagnostic connector under the steering wheel above
the driver feet. eSID-GW is easily installed within a few seconds.
Current consumption
It is always important to reduce the quiescent current consumption to avoid having an empty
battery. If the vehicle needs to stand for a longer period of time its recommended to remove the
eSID-GW from the OBD-connector.
eSID-GW does not have any memory and can be removed without losing any settings.
eSID-HPD stores all settings and keeps it also when the battery is removed.
