SID 1 and SID 2

What's the difference between the SID numbers? 

I replaced the SID 2 in my Saab, with an SID 1.  The pixels were all out on the one that was in it.  I hooked it up just to see if it would work, and it appears to be working just fine.

The features are different.  I just never bothered to find out how exactly, but it has something to do with a trip computer.

I know they have some buttons different, the SID2 had more on it, but since the pixels didn't work I couldn't ever tell what was going on. 

This other one works though, all the pixels light up and everything, and the speaker works on this one too.

did you trash your other one or do you still have it?

bojib -> RE: SID 1 and SID 2 (3/4/2008 8:23:45 AM)

I kept it.  Thought about trying to do one of those fixes I read about.  It's put up in the storage building for now.

Eh, the DIY fixes don't quite work for completely detached strips...I recommend a repair service..

I thought about sending the old one in too,and getting a replacement, for when the one in it now quits working.  It doesn't seem to be a question of if it will ever go bad, but when

Yep, that's exactly right.  I wish that ribbon cable was a better design, but it just seems like it's glued onto the boad or something...

I figured out some of the differences.  The higher number ones have just a few extra features.  Like a Trip Meter, that lets you know how many miles you have left to go before you arrive somewhere.  They also show estimated time of arrival.  I think the other two were alarm function, and a speed warning.  So by switching to the lesser model SID I didn't lose out on much.
