Understanding Saab OpenSID Part 1: Basics - Trionic Seven

[@av8b13c]

Amazing!, what I missed for 11 years now owning a 9-5NG Now roll back on Viggen , hope this will work (open SID), I’m new in OG

[@amirhaikalanuar3310]

Hi, thanks for this. Still awaiting part 2 to this video

[@TrionicSeven]

It's unfortunately very hard to shoot the next part because my new car has the sid in the MIU, can't really get a camera in there...

[@ROYteous]

@@TrionicSeven shouldn't be too hard to mount an action camera such as a gopro to see it.

[@alexanderostlund3885]

Väldigt bra förklarat, har openSID i min 9-5a och har lite svårt att förstå det. Detta underlätta mycket.

[@TrionicSeven]

Hoppas det hjälper! :)

[@LarsGTV6]

Kanonbra och tack! Just what I need to keep my 9'5 running in the streets and not in to a highcost garage. Greetings from Norway!

[@hammerfix7241]

thank you very much! i just got my first saab and apparently it already has an open sid and now i know how to use it. keep your flag flying high!

[@TrionicSeven]

Glad you like it :)

[@goodcitizen3910]

Literally going downstairs to the garage to check if my Saab 9:3 2006 already has this done ! If not will definitely be doing it today

[@endijs.ogrins]

This is so cool! I have 9-5 2002 Aero but automat. Open SID2. Now i finally understand what are those reads! :D Tnx :)

[@TrionicSeven]

Glad you like it! :)

[@superstrongchedder]

Omg this is such a good video,! i never new open sid displayed so much data about the car

[@TrionicSeven]

Glad to be able to help!

[@jpogera9939]

enjoy all ur vids .... great job ty ... west of new york city usa here

[@TrionicSeven]

That's great to hear! I was in NJ just recently (I assume that's where you are?)

[@HerrDagerman]

Suveräna guider! Tack

[@TrionicSeven]

Tack för din kommentar :)

[@SorryCounter1]

Really excited for this series. Going to need to get a spare ecu and start messing around :)

[@TrionicSeven]

Good luck! Beware, because it's highly addictive :)

[@figgeberglund4145]

I love this guy. ❤️

[@unlikelyninja8345]

thank you thank you thank you thank you

[@TrionicSeven]

Glad you liked it!

[@chicagoui9299]

Jonathan. You're a genius!! Thank you!!

[@TrionicSeven]

Nah, not a genius. Thanks anyway! :)

[@chicagoui9299]

Can I ask you, I have an 04 95 ARC 2.3T w ESP. I tap the plus- buttons and I can't get my sid to open. Any thoughts?

[@TrionicSeven]

Well, opensid isn't included from factory. You need to enable it (see my other vid)

[@chicagoui9299]

Ahhh okay. I missed that sir I will re-watch and pay better attention. Americans. Sheesh. Haha

[@TrionicSeven]

Lol

[@isaugonzalez5180]

Can you make a video on how to enter the radio code

[@DanTaninecz]

Gotta get a tech 2 to fix it. Takes 4 seconds. Typically a nice mechanic will do it for free.

[@larrygynch1249]

Thank you

[@asenlz]

Hi, thanks for the videos, but where can I find the second part?

[@sbske1]

Well done Jonathan. A really anticipated video. I have open SID in my 2006 9-5 aero and it is very informative as well as addictive. Please make sure that you explain all the parameters and their values. There are available info on the parameters online but their values and their respective normal boundaries are not explained well. Also, are you aware if there is a performance parameter available to measure accelaration etc. Something similar to the eSID available for the 2007+ 9-3 ss models. Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@TrionicSeven]

Hey, thanks! Please tell me more about the accel feature in eSid. I've never used it so I don't know what it does. Is it the same thing as the 0-60 and 0-100 times you can find in the obd2 apps? Oh, and I won't be able to explan *all* the values, there are hundreds of them :) I will focus on the important ones and give estimates of range and so on. Problem it, too many details and it will turn into a lecture about engine internals and modern electronic engine management systems!

[@sbske1]

Trionic Seven , Yes it is similar to the accelaration features in obdii apps. I am asking if it is possible because esid takes the data from the ecu and shows them on the 9-3 sid. As for the parameters i know there are many and it is hard to describe them all, just do your best as always. Thanks. :):)

[@TrionicSeven]

Hey! No, opensid does not have that feature as far as I know. That's somethings that the apps are better at :)

[@beareggers]

Great! Now I have motivation for fixing my missing pixels.

[@TrionicSeven]

Do it! I have never had that issue, but I think it's just a matter of getting a flat cable.

[@edwardskinner3954]

i have a 98 saab 900 s and my radio wont come back on is the sid causing that to happen ?

[@TrionicSeven]

Sorry, I don't know much about the 900. You can ask this question in our Community Forum: facebook.com/groups/733705113501723/

[@Lappen79]

Hur får jag detta på min 9-5 2.0t -04?

[@TrionicSeven]

Kolla min film om "saab tuning introduction" :)

[@glennnyland7047]

Hey! Great video. My amul says -513. Any reason to be concerned? Would this be a tuning error or an error on the car? 2.0t stage 1 .

[@TrionicSeven]

Yes, I'd definitely look into that. Check for vacuum leaks or a bad tune.

[@glennnyland7047]

Thank you for informing. 2 more questions.1: Does the fact that i got 10 in Limp value and -614 in AMUL have a connection? My buddy has +1000 in amul now, but no Limp. 2: WIll exesive + and - values be caused by different things since it compensates in 2 different directions?

[@ЕгорБудкин-х1ц]

How to convert error codes? For example i have 5216 error on my screen...

[@drndarevicnikola]

Hi, is it possible to have Open SID feature with SID 1 display installed (the one with three buttons on the left side)?

[@TrionicSeven]

Good question. I don't actually know but would guess it's possible.

[@drndarevicnikola]

Trionic Seven Ok, thanks anyway 🙃

[@musikad2007]

yes, i had open sid in my old my99 saab 9-5

[@drndarevicnikola]

Thanks guys, that's a big relief!

[@TrionicSeven]

Great to know there are so many knowledgeable people in the comments! :)

[@arthurwatson452]

i have a 2003 9,5 aero limp mode doesnt want to reset

[@InTheMiddle95]

I had this available but for some reason now i only get the "engine mode" menu. Can't open up these readings. Does anyone have a fix ?

[@TrionicSeven]

Sorry, I don't know the answer. Perhaps ask in our forum? facebook.com/groups/733705113501723/

[@Jamarshallauto]

How do I convert the code to hexadecimal?

[@maxs9046]

Hej! Vet du hur man aktiverar OpenSID på en Saab 9-3?

[@TrionicSeven]

Det går bara om du har en 9-3 med T7. I så fall, kolla min video "Enabling OpenSID"

[@cackyraphael8981]

if when you floor it your mair is 1100, if you divide that by 3.1 it gives you your torque and that comes to 354nm. so if you divide mair by 3.1 you will get your torque in newton meters

[@TrionicSeven]

Exactly! I'll talk more about this in later vids :)

[@victorlucas6677]

Hey what's up man. have a question, my open sid shows me that my LIMP is on 10 and I have a p1231 hope u see this and tell me what exactly is my problem. thx in advance!!

[@TrionicSeven]

Hey, I have realized that LIMP is more complex than I thought. Unfortunately I cannot tell you the exact problem. Perhaps you can ask this question in our community group? facebook.com/groups/733705113501723/

[@salvadoraugustus]

The steering wheels buttons doesnt work normaly , when i push radio volume for example it honks . i checked the connection cables and they look ok. i heard that if SID was replaced and doesnt match the car gives wrong commands on these buttons. I bought my saab 9-5 2004 like that . Any one have any idea on this issue ?

[@TrionicSeven]

Good question, I don't know.

[@innermindseye8773]

Hej hej, I am looking for a way to change the language of the display messages on my SID from Swedish to English. I have a Saab 9-5 2.3t from 2007. Can you help me out because I don't speak Swedish so these unreadable foreign messages are really making me feel uncomfortable! Thanks!

[@TrionicSeven]

Good question. I would guess that you need a tech2 tool :)

[@nngv19651]

My car is colecting Knocks at one cylinder(nummber 2)after i change the spark plugs with new,before that cars was colecting knocks on cylinder N-r 3,Whats is wrong with my car?? No missfire recorded on the open SID using only gasoline super 100 octanes,The engine is recently rebuild completely.WTF is going on,i'm about to give up on this scrap.I ll be grateful if you respond to my message and give me some advice.

[@TrionicSeven]

Hey! I don't know what could be the problem, but hop into our community forum and you'll get a lot of answers: :) facebook.com/groups/733705113501723/

[@ColdPetRat2.99]

My lamn is at 0 all times

[@zxy1987106]

Please try to make boost not lower than 2000 (2.0 Bar), otherwise your engine will not work properly.

[@TrionicSeven]

Lol

[@marcello123456789011]

Can you also can see how much turbo pressur you yust sorry for me englisch

[@TrionicSeven]

Turbo pressure depends on weather and temperature so it's hard to compare. But I tried real quick and it's about 0.5 bar

[@oliverglen4208]

Why don't you blink?

[@TrionicSeven]

I do!

[@cbp1357]

I wish you lived near me. But I don't even live in the right country! XD I would pay you to install it for me! I contacted the company about a adapter and they never got back to me :(

[@TrionicSeven]

Check out my enabling opensid video and the link to the combi adapter by johnc.

[@cbp1357]

I messaged the guy for the combi adapter and he never got back to me

[@TrionicSeven]

I'd say try again, he's always responded quickly to me :)

[@cbp1357]

Okay. Thanks :) gotta see how much it's going to cost me :S poor guy here! XP

[@TrionicSeven]

Around €100 if I'm not mistaken. But you can instead send your ECU to a tuner (plenty in Sweden) and get it done there :)

[@nonyadamnbusiness9887]

Typical corporate bullshit, disabling anything that might make it easier for a customer to work on the car.

[@TrionicSeven]

Disagree. This is nothing you want an ordinary customer to play around with.

[@apowers7783]

I had an Audi and all I had to do to get diagnostics was press and hold two buttons on the climate system. Why did Saab make it so hard to do?

[@Comrade420_]

Because it's saab:)
