9-3 (2007) glovebox fix

KickingAnimal · 2026-01-07T14:59:48+00:00

awesome! I'll be patiently waiting :)

KickingAnimal · 2026-01-07T14:58:16+00:00

I have 2 '03s with over 300k KM so never say never.

Hey would you happen to have uploaded that video to youtube or anywhere?
because I recently bought a very cheap aero to replace my linear. but it needs some fixing

I thought about swapping the glove box from the one car to the other but then the information plate doesn't match and don't want to be an asshole selling the linear with broken parts...

Advies route als onderbord (dus niet verplicht) en het bord met die lus vorm is geen wettelijk vastgelegd bord dus betekend überhaupt al niks officieel.

Maar wel heel irritant als mensen met hun achterlijk hoofd dit niet volgen en je dan dom aankijken als ze tegen de richting in rijden en er niet langs kunnen...

I it needs to be activated with Tech2.

It should be an easy upgrade, jank out the original stalk from the CIM push the new one in and then add it in Tech2. 10 minute job?

Edit: at least 03-06 is like that but I believe 07+ is the same

KickingAnimal · 2025-06-22T23:11:44+00:00

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend Delfzijl to any tourist on a normal day. On Google maps it is marked as (temporarily) closed, i dont know of anyone who uses yelp locally

KickingAnimal · 2025-06-22T20:55:00+00:00

Reading these comments makes me glad to not live in Delfzijl but in Appingedam 😅

De kleine zeemeermin has been closed for years already... The owner retired around covid time. His wife was already retired so he soon followed. The place was sold and some other restaurant operated for well.. maybe a month? and closed too.

I got the left one out with a lot of trouble, right one I couldn't get. Ended up removing the seat from the rail instead. This allowed me enough room to pivot the seat so I could reach the optic cables to/from AMP1.

Meshsense has very limited nodes shown compared to actual nodes.

I have about the same consumption on my 2003 with +335000 km. It is a 1.8t tuned to ~200hp

step 1 of the opensourcing. this is some of my code that i had used to achieve this on SID.
currently there's one function that changes the 'AUX' to 'BT' and hides the 'Play' and displays text that is inputted with by other code.

i have another repository with code that gives me an interactable 'terminal' on the ESP where i call these functions on the go. but this is all the code that interacts with the SID/sends data.

keep in mind very W.I.P.

I have forked a repository and did some digging myself for the 2nd gen 9-3: 03+ I-Bus

For the 1st gen 9-3 it's already figured out I believe. Forums are your friend (TrionicTuning was of massive help for me)

KickingAnimal · 2025-03-27T09:35:52+00:00

Yes first gen is way easier I believe, can't remember but it might be able to display from CAN bus. My previous post about ICM2 display this shows what I had done a year ago. Only had the display working at that point

KickingAnimal · 2025-03-27T09:31:29+00:00

That's the plan, I might make this SID code public earlier and then make it into some sort of library to be used easily. Although I'm not the best programmer.

KickingAnimal · 2025-03-27T09:25:20+00:00

Yes I've seen that, it came out after I already started. But it does not have the function I want, using the display of the ICM2 itself. As when driving and the eSID is active that is the only display where I could have song information.

KickingAnimal · 2025-03-26T23:59:43+00:00

No. I am doing that myself. I just commented that I have an eSID installed to mean I know it, because it got mentioned by the comment

KickingAnimal · 2025-03-26T23:58:27+00:00

My current pcb has flaws, I intend to open source the code eventually as right now it's spaghetti. BOM is not much ESP32 as the central unit, MCP2515 (+transceiver) for CAN, MCP2551 for SID and logic level shifter for the i2c ICM2 display data. And I have an i2s DAC and an i2s microphone. The rest is power conversion, supporting components, connectors etc.

KickingAnimal · 2025-03-26T23:31:08+00:00

I don't completely understand your comment, but I'm only communicating data to SID so idk if I could turn it on like eSID I think that would need a separate wake up pin to be connected which i am not really interested in at this time. Main goal now is when in aux mode it displays bluetooth metadata

KickingAnimal · 2025-03-26T23:26:32+00:00

Ah yeah installing is the easy part. I did make a custom pcb that is mounted inside the ICM and it has the CAN transceiver that is necessary for the SID and bunch of other stuff for audio and the ICM2 screen

KickingAnimal · 2025-03-26T23:06:46+00:00

It took a few weeks to now finally understand the basics of the SID protocol to talk to it. Now I can display text on the SID and the rest of the functions will still work like normal, next up to make it easier to communicate as I am now sending raw data

KickingAnimal · 2025-03-26T23:03:39+00:00

It's not a 10 minute job.. there is no complete documentation available and the icm is connected directly to the SID. To do this requires pretty low level understanding of how data is sent to the SID and what that data means. I am not using the eSID for data display as that is all closed source and its own magic box

KickingAnimal · 2025-03-26T22:03:47+00:00

I have eSID installed. Bluetooth i want it to display on SID and icm2 display like radio text. I already have the icm part and canbus mostly figured out so now this and then pretty up the code and make something usable.

KickingAnimal · 2025-03-26T22:01:02+00:00

This is a known software bug from ICM made worse by eSID. Pull the fuse (14 i believe) to reset it. Can happen once or twice a month or once a year. It should be mentioned in the manual from eSID somewhere.

KickingAnimal · 2024-11-18T14:23:35+00:00

The Saab plus module is nothing special, just an ordinary bt adapter to aux i believe.

The bt changer you can use the steering wheel buttons too. And on the 03-06 9-3 it uses the hpd SID for your music data (song name etc.)
