Background
The eSID3 is the third generation of a small tool that enhances the Saab driving experience in your
Saab 9-3 MY2007-2014 by collecting hidden car data and presenting it to the driver on the built-in
SID (Saab Information Display) located in the instrument cluster.
It's easy to install in the OBD2 socket located under the steering wheel. Since it is controlled by the
steering wheel controls, it is perfectly integrated into the electrical system. Apart from lots of more
information in the display, it is loaded with new features and functions that were never launched by
Saab Automobile.
Compatibility
eSID3 is compatible with Saab 9-3 2007-2014 which has the upgraded interior with the SID (Saab
Information Display) located in the instrument cluster below the speedometer.
(For 2003-2006 there is instead the “eSID 03-06”, see http://www.esid.se)
Languages
eSID3 supports the following languages (all built into one software). It has an auto-detect setting
where it will switch to the same language as the instrument cluster if the language is supported
otherwise it will choose English. It is also possible to manually select language in eSID Settings.
English
Swedish
French
German

Hardware
The eSID3 is completely redesigned from eSID2 and has lower quiescent current (1.8mA) and also
supports:
Configurable switch input interface
Configurable 12V output driver for LED or Relay with fly back diode (max 200mA)
Simplified interface to set System Clock time when using non-OEM radio/Nav.
The new interfaces are used by connecting additional wires to unused pins in the OBD-connector.
The cables needed are sold separately in “eSID3 Cable Kit”.

eSID3 Cable-Kit
The eSID3 Cable Kit is needed for:
Setting the system clock to make the service interval and timer controlled parking heater to
work, if the car has an aftersales stereo head unit
Connecting the eSID3 12V controllable output, for instance for a shift-up LED or controlling a
relay (with flywheel diode) and configure the eSID3 when it should be active (for instance
Vehicle speed above 50km/h or when a switch is pressed)
The eSID3 Cable Kit consists of four cables, and they are all intended to be connected into empty
slots in the OBD-connector. All four cables have the correct OBD-terminal in one end.
Red (Controllable 12V output pin, open on the other end)
Black (Ground reference to the Red cable, open on the other end)
Green (Cable for adjusting System Clock. The other end of the cable has already terminal to
fit into an empty slot in the BCM connector. No cutting or splicing!)
Purple (Cable for the switch input interface. The other end has already terminal to fit into the
IP-switch panel next to the Stereo/Navigation unit. No cutting or splicing!))

User Interface
The eSID3 is primarily controlled using the switches on the steering wheel.
Start eSID3 by a long press on CLR-switch
Exit eSID3 or leave sub-functions using short press on CLR-switch.
Change display functions with INFO Up/Down switches and use SET switch to reset data or to
activate sub-functions
eSID3 does not prevent any warning messages to be displayed to the driver, those will always
have higher priority and the driver can always switch between eSID3 and the normal SID
functionality with the CLR button.
