I've just completed the installation of my IPC 650 Gateway in my 2006 9-3 2.8L Aero convertible , it is so amazing. The electrical connections are exceptionally easy, all plug-n-play. I went to the Auto recycling place (junk yard) and picked up a dahboard bezel just to test the fit. It took less than an hour to trim (I was taking my time). Everything appears on the new cluster. I have Sentronic shifting and the manual gear indicators even appear. I took my 9-3 ICM and stripped it down to just the printed circuit board removing faceplate, dials, and rear panel. I’ll find a place in the dash for that so my Tech2 will always function. Thanks Henrik, for a superlative device.
Hi, Any updates on when this may be available? If you need any beta-testers, I have the 9-5 cluster and a (Non-chinese) GM Tech2 and a 2006 9-3 Aero. Thanks!!! Tom
Is there a function right now or with a future update to automatically fold in the electric mirrors if a 9-5 has them? Nice to see it on the 9-3s, but it would be appreciated on the 9-5s as well I think.
@@Wha_SAAB The folding mirrors on an OG 9-5 are very primitive and very analogue, thanks to the OG 9-5 being in production for 12 years with late 90s technologies. It only works with the dashboard switch and if you have the ignition on. If you want to replace that circuit you're looking at decoupling the switched 12V circuit to it, adding a permanent 12V line with a relay controlled by the eSID, putting the dashboard button parallel with all of that so it still functions, all of which is a lot of effort when you can also just remember to push the button to fold the mirrors inwards before you switch the car off.
@@vel0city96 oh, I was asking about adding power folding mirrors to a Dame Saab 9-5 without power folding mirrors. I know I’d need the switch, a set of power folding mirrors, probably a harness? Do you have any insight since your Saab seems equipped with power folding mirrors?
@@Wha_SAAB Your best bet is to find a parts car that has them. You need a couple of wiring harnasses (dashboard for the switch, inside the doors to the mirror base, dashboard-to-door, etc). If it's just the retract function you need you can probably wire it yourself using a couple of connectors from a parts car and free pins in the door-body connector, you just need three extra wires and an extra connector to the mirror base for the power folding system to work. Look it up in the WIS wiring diagram, it's quite a simple system.
I saw this a few months back and love it. Would love to do that on my 2006 9-3. Is there any chance we could get an update/tutorial on this at some point? Also, to make it look nicer and more “stock” I guess some sort of backplate/panel for this cluster could be made and added. I have a few ideas on how I’d potentially do that, but I would need to understand the implications of this conversion a bit better! Cheers from Spain!
hello, I have a saab 9-3 from 2006 with a 1.9 diesel, I want to put the turbo pressure on the display, I already put the pointer motor and the led but nothing works
Det är trist att SAAB aldrig hann tillverka en riktig 9-3 NG med samma nya finesser som 9-5an fick. Insignia-ratt, den här instrumentpanelen, HUD, panoramatak, CIS, mm. En vacker dag kanske man kan installera den här i en post 2008 årsmodel också. Passar lite bättre in med utseendet liksom 🙂
In 9-3 facelift with cluster and steering wheel form 9-5NG there would be amazing effect. Amazing work, but I’m devastated that there are no plans for fitting it to facelift 9-3 - saying that as someone who have fitted 9-5ng steering wheel to 9-3 facelift 😢
It would require more work.. You need to disassemble the original cluster and hide it behind the dashpanel, otherwise you wont get turn indicator sound, park assist sound, all configurations in the built in SID wont work, the Ip-switch panel with Night panel etc wont work.. Its a lot more work. But as said If you manage to keep the cluster hidden somewhere, then it will work.
Bro, you still have 10mm positive wire from generator to starter. (Bad start engine and other electric issues). You need 50mm from generator directly to battery. That how it should be, but manufacturers save millions in copper with 10mm
This is soo cool and long awaited! I just switched cars with my dad who mainly drives highway so the more comfortable 2008 9-5 SC TiD with extralights suites him better while i got the 2011 9-3 SC 160 TiD. This will be on the shoppinglist for his birthday next year!
