SID 1 and SID 2 - 3/3/2008 10:54:00 AM    bojib   Posts: 47 Joined: 3/3/2008 From: Chavies, KY Status: offline 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.

RE: SID 1 and SID 2 - 3/6/2008 5:51:43 PM    bojib   Posts: 47 Joined: 3/3/2008 From: Chavies, KY Status: offline 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.
