The eSID2 is the Coolest Thing You Can Buy for Your Saab 9-3! 

You should start calling us Saab-scribers

HI...ADAMBE FROM MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA YOU HAVE CONVINCED ME WITH YOUR SHOWS ON BUY THAT SAAB ON THE CAR SALES SITE THAT I REALLY WASN'T GOING TO GIVE A SECOND LOOK AT.. NICE BRO

The power and torque readings seems spot on for me. I have the 1.9 TTiD (twin turbo diesel- you didn't get any diesels in the US). They're rated 180bhp and 400nm stock (295 ft lb). My eSID reads 184bhp and 407nm 😁 P.s. I managed to buy mine 2nd hand for £60 (75 USD) 😁😁

You forgot the MOST important option in my opinion... the blinker touch activation (5 blinks for lane changing) 😬

O ordered one of those for my hell cat u plug it under the fuse box and it tells you everything it bugs me to death everything I do it takes note I out gas on my car and I used mid grade and it sent a message I should use premium and add one of those engine and carburetor cleaners like stp or whatever kind it works good it's takes note of everything from tire pressure to oil and everything else 😂 it's really cool it sends data to my I pad and phone it's cool good to have very useful thanks trader 😂🤣I have one already and your right it works very well 👍I can't complain

Need a tech 2 version to this

I bought a 05 9-5 arc today for $1000. Runs and drives good and only 94k miles 😎

The car looked great, you did a great job detailing it. You mentioned flex fuel, my Durango is flex capable, but I have never used it. Heard too many bad things about it....

Ordered one yesterday so hopefully I'll get it after the weekend. Looking forward to read out the kodes . Hopefully that will give me a clue of what's wrong with the auxiliary heater that is the best feature of the car in snowy Sweden atm. Just depressing knowing that there is an auxiliary heater that the side let me start with the key remote if you don't wanna set a time manually before leaving the car. But no pleasure or warm car when that stupid German heater brake down in every 9-3 TiD & TTiD >:(

Sometimes tire pressure needs some time to show up. Unless it's been disabled on your vehicle with a Tech 2, which is possible. Also, even if you're tuned on e85 it will not tell you the ethanol content. Possibly only works with the European biopower models.

Looking this up because I just ordered one. I had to replace the windshield on my 9-3 and ever since the rain sensors work like crap. So I lost intermittent wiper mode.. When I read that the Esid2 can let you set your own intermittent mode then I bought it. I want to see what the differences are in power gains too, after I put in my exhaust and tune. I'm not going to Dyno it but I do have the Torque Android App and I guess I could check the differences between them.

Anything saab good dry or moist 😉👍💪all good 😎

You should review the Saab 9-5 aero 2011!

Hey, I wanted to thank you for your content. I just bought a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi Bio-fuel, and your videos have been really helpful in learning tips and tricks about my new (old) car which is being delivered today! Regarding this esid3, does it really do anything more than a decent $50 OBD2 can do? It seems like it does the same, but on a smaller more fiddly display as opposed to connecting a regular one to a decent mobile app? Seems a very high price for what appears to be a lesser item. Convince me otherwise?

Already have one 👍

BHP AND TORQUE READINGS ISSUE: My 2008 TiD is chipped witha 73bhp increase and I have an Android DVD/CD head unit (2 DIN) and Torque Pro app fed via OBD2 ELM327 plug. I get many many more readings and I can choose the layouts of pages of dials, graphs, charts, input safety thresholds so that dials flash and warning beeps go off etc. And having live Load and Boost gauges lets me drive more economically (EG - 6th gear on the Aisin AF40 flappy-paddle auto box is not economical under 90mph, so only good for German Autobahns). Anyway, my Torque and BHP figures are mismatched too, because the MAF sensor maxes out at 22.3psi. The Turbo was 0.7BAR for 150bhp, but is now set at 1.8BAR for 223bhp. So it's worth checking the abilities of the existing sensors, but also, what the car's ECU is translating performance into, seems as you have a piggy-back ECU modification.

Since you recently sold this Saab, will you install the esid 03-06 on your MY2003 9-3? Possibly make a video on the install as well?

I've debated it for a while, but this is not at least the second product that you've convinced me to buy! Lol. I'm looking forward to using it in my manual Turbo X. Do you think the torque/power readings may have been inaccurate for you because you had the incorrect engine selected?

Thx love my Esid2 1) I’m not sure but maybe your torque and HP are reading from the trans rather than from the crank 2) I used my Esid2 today to pull codes after my X started running rough. Threw 2 codes both indicted miss fires! Oh well at 80k time for new plugs and coils

Great video man, does anyone know where I can purchase?

I need this toy

The horsepower and torque seems like its calculated at the wheels. The numbers are accurate that way.

Wonder if that model would work on my 2006 with a face lift dash

Okay on the horsepower, you mentioned you got all that power to the crank. Maybe the eSID measures it at the wheels, you know, there is drivetrain loss.

It is possible to activate this same functions with Tech2 ?

Hey, i wonder if you know about the esid3 they are now offering at maptun. Is this just the update from the esid2? the esid03-06 is still available too ^^ thanks :)

Is it compatible with SAAB 9-5 Aero (2010) Diesel FWD? And thank you for making those videos!They're very informative and it's good to know that there still people who know about this great company and take care about it cars, it's very rare for nowadays. My Dad are fan of this company and so do i. His first SAAB was 9000, it seems to me. His friend owns a 9-3 Turbo X, like yours, but silver. And it was my Dad's car before 2010. And hello from Ukraine SAAB Family! Good luck!

I noticed in this you have a ‘cornering headlight malfunction’ in this video. Have you been able to fix this? I have the same issue on mine and can’t figure it out. Any help would be appreciated!!

Dang. I wish one was made for the OG 9-3 vert. 😢

Were do you order this or buy it from

XWD will eat that HP to the wheels if that was measured at the crank?

Enjoy washing the car, its a blessing

This is pretty cool sadly I have an 06 and it requires some wireing it's not a plug in like this one

Does this show a digital speedometer without all the HP and Torque info?

Maybe it is giving you the WHP? You were saying the CHP that will be higher than what the WHP is because 1 it is at the wheels and 2 it is AWD. Maybe it selected the wrong engine as well.

11:42 HAHAHAAHA

I dont know how To pic up favorits?

Here is a project for you buddy, I know you did a video on the new 9-5 estate (I think you call them a wagon) but I challenge you to find out if the Estate ever made it on to the road. These are the facts I know. Saab were ready to take the 9-5 estate to market just before it was going to released on general sale throughout Europe when it went bust. A few estates were seen plated and rumours of emergency services getting them first in Sweden. Lots of estates had been made and were on site in Trollhattan ( what happened to those?) They are know as the Unicorn SAAB. I have searched Swedish Auto sales sites and I have never seen any for sale. The problem getting info is that any good info comes direct from Sweden but their lies the problem...I don't speak Swedish. This would make a great video if you have the time to do it justice.

tire pressure can only be measured while driving

legit.

Your missing the tire pressure sensors in your wheels. You can go to any tire store and have them installed!

Present

It's probably because you don't have tire pressure sensors in your wheels

Doesn't it kinda make sense though that the power/torque wasn't correct, if you had the wrong engine selected to begin with..? 🤔

Looks to be going for closer to 300 nowadays it looks like

not available for the 9-5...damn

Why did you sell your Turbo x - so so rare

As cool as this is I'd prefer getting a bluedriver or other scan tool to be able to diagnose other vehicles.

It maybe was wheel horsepower

If your car doens't has OEM tire presure sensors, it won't show up

You probably don't have tires lol

Manual or standard not "stick".

Or save yourself 100$ and get a bluetooth obd2 scanner and the torque app
