I don't even own a Saab and still watch your videos to the end - excellent presentation.
Thank you. I really appreciate that 🙏🏼
Just wanted to say your very helpful to all Saab 9-3 owners, I appreciate, Respect, and Thankful to GOD to have someone like you make these videos to help us all Saab 9-3 owners, Glory and Praise to GOD Christ Jesus, Thanks brother 🙏🥰😃
Thanks so much for the support Edgar! 🙌🏼
Sure can and we can always go back on old videos and use those as well thanks a lot that steering wheel and cluster looks bada$$
@@motorcity91thanks! 🙌🏼😄
Cool, very unique! Someone should make a 3d printed cover or something for the empty spaces around the cluster, it would look even better
That’s a great idea! I honestly don’t mind the “empty space” too much on mine
Working on 3d adapter for the mounting points

Congrats!! Very useful upgrade! keeps our old saabs a little bit updated and the owners entertained.
Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
👊🏼😁
Probably the best upgrade you've done to your 9-3! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! 🫡🙌🏼
I just ordered one off ebay. New project! Thanks Jacob!
Awesome! Enjoy it 👍🏼😁
I love the altimeter speedometer too. That's my favorite feature of the 9-5. I'm glad to know I'm not crazy.
😂👍🏼
For anyone thinking of trying this, the monochrome cluster has pretty much all the same features, including the altimeter display. It's also the bright green that is everywhere in Saabs, so IMO it matches better with the ICM and SID displays. They're also much cheaper and easier to find. I couldn't for the life of me find a multicolor cluster so if you can't find one either, you won't miss out on much if you do the monochrome.
The monochrome ones are waaay easier to find like you said. It was hard for me to find this multicolor one
That is so sick. Great product!
It really is!
Your new exhaust sounds great 👍!
Thank you Barry! I’m really happy with it :)
I don't know if someone already told you about the led's but smd means it's soldered to the board, so if you have soldering experience, you can replace it, and unless you are ocd, any LED of the right size and color (optional) that you can solder to the pads, should work fine. but you would need to open the gauge to measure the size with calipers. Use the milimiters measurement and then shift the it to get the size for an smd led (i.e. if the LED measures 1.2mm x 0.8mm then shift the . to the right and you get 12 x 08 so you can get a 1208 smd led then)
Thanks so much for the advice. Much appreciated 🙏🏼
Ace upgrade mate, great work! Best wishes from the UK!
Thank you! 😃🙌🏼
Wow… this makes me want a 2nd-Gen 9-3 just so I can do this mod and give it that “modern” look.😎
🤣🙌🏼 do it!!
@@AutoAutopsy 😂 guess I’m gonna start searching for a SportCombi!
I didn’t know this was possible, cool!
It’s a recently “developed” product! Super cool 👍🏼😁
This is awesome I never knew it was even possible
It’s a recent “breakthrough”!!
Hi! I am a long time watcher of your channel and i absolutely love the content. There really aren't many good saab related videos out there. As far as the bulb is concerned, SMD stands for surface mount device. It is essentially a normal led bulb designed to take up less space when soldered to a circuit board. The replacement would cost a couple cents, but figuring out exactly what type you need (voltage and current rating) is a bit tricky. The soldering is also a bit tedious, but doable. If you want, we can hop on a call and i can guide you through the process, or you could even send the cluster to me and i can replace it (for free of course, it would be an honor to contribute to the channel). You would just have to pay for the shipping.
Wow Kirby, that is incredibly kind of you. Thank you for that. Do you mind sending me an email (AutoAutopsyYT@gmail.com) or DM (@auto.autopsy) on Instagram and we could see if we could work something out?
@@AutoAutopsy sure :) sorry for the late reply i didn’t think you would actually answer lol
@@AutoAutopsy I’ll dm you on instagram right now👍
@@kirbygriffin836no worries! I’ll contact you on Instagram
This is sick! Would like to do this to my moms 9-3 convertible!
Nice! I’m sure she’d love the upgrade 👊🏼
That is awesome! Now your gauge cluster looks more like a 9-4x too!
I also didn’t realize that you could get the multi-color for a 9-5. I’ve only ever seen the monochrome color for the 9-5s.
They monochrome are much easier to find unfortunately, but both are awesome!
Great mod, thanks for doing this
Thank you Brad!
@@AutoAutopsy See you at SOC
Heck yeah! Love it!
🙌🏼😁
Your Saab has a very good life :)
I try to treat it!
This is so legit. Great video!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏼😁
Awesome video, you definitely need to upgrade the head unit to maximise the whole dash kit. The LED, you would have to find the circuit diagram for the dash panel, possibly saab wis or contact the cluster manufacturer for the data sheet, it should show the component, worse case get a professional to open it and identify and buy the LED part and replace it. I hope you get it sorted, be great to see a video of that too!
interesting idea. I had not considered that. thanks!
This is so so cool!!!
Thanks! 😁🔥
Really cool!
Thanks johan!
Your 93 is so nice hopefully I can see it in person
Thank you! It will be in Portland next month for SOC!
This is next level tunning...i sill have yonke 9-3 vector 2003 and cadillac bls (build like saab) parked all year long....
Time to get the running and back on the road!
It's very simple to get air pressure sensors installed into your car you just take out your normal plug put in the sensor itself and then there's a module you buy that you connect to the CPU and then you can go to like Belle tire or something and they can pair them together to send the signal to your dash
thanks! sounds a bit involved but id like to look into it after I get back from SOC!
so awesome. I love that turbo gauge.
Thanks :)
Very similar to a Cadillac SRX guage cluster. Maybe look for bulbs for one of those.
Good one! Thanks for the suggestion
Awesome!
Thanks!
this is so cool!!!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Looks great, only thing to be changed is the color of the gauge needles to good old Saab orange 😉.
Hmm. I quite like the green!
Awesome really
Thank you!
Seen this upgrade and I think it's neat. Just wish they did it to the 06 and up also.
It works on 06! Just won’t fully work on 07+ unfortunately
@AutoAutopsy yeah that's right, thanks for correcting me. All mine are 07 up lol. Sadly.
Great job 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Do you have any videos about changing the green ennoying lights 😊 on the dashboard of a 2007 Saab 93 1.8?
Can you also do that white the nev car clusters ?
I'm not sure which cluster you're referring to, sorry
Great upgrade!
Thanks!
Ok...now that looks super cool....that's an upgrade that stands out....can you update how it looks at night?...I bet it looks nice....thanks for sharing
Thank you! Yep, night panel and everything functions as well. The backlighting and be adjusted in the same way that the “stock” cluster could be
You should try to retrofit the heads up display from the NG 9-5 as well, I'd love to do that too mine I just dont have the knowledge to do so lol
That would be cool!!
Awsome video! Just curios on what the cost is? Love your content❤
Thanks for the support! All of the cost is in the links in the description. The cluster is the biggest question mark
😲👍❤️🇸🇪
Did not know that!
👍🏼👊🏼
It looks cool but why did you have a motor error code indication?
It’s an O2 sensor problem I have not have time to diagnose and fix. It doesn’t affect drivability
@@AutoAutopsy I sold my Saab 9-3 2006 1.9 TDi Linear model in the end of May. do you often see the basic Linear models in Nevada? I've had the car since 2018.
So much joy and a very good car.
Now I have a yellow 1998 cabriolet.
Saab is one of it's kind.
Great upgrade ... the new stuff is super cool ... I have the same 9-3 ... except is a 2004 ... now I'll start checking the scrap yards for the same part 😂
May I ask ... why did you sell the TX?
Nice! I sold it because I was tired of putting money into it and was ready to try something new, among other reasons: ua-cam.com/video/4k_R2mDsro0/v-deo.htmlsi=uGgkIgOxubksuPl0
Did you ever get the LED issue solved for the temp gauge?
I haven’t yet. If you have any solutions, please email me or DM me on Instagram! (UA-cam doesn’t notify me of comment responses)
for the buttons is it already intengrated by the IPC or do i have to do something special, i dont know if it missed anything about you talking about that but just want to be sure.
I assume you're talking about what I mentioned at the 17:00 mark, right? More info on that is also found in the guide linked below. Everything is shown in the video
would you mind telling me from whom did you got the hub caps? looking mint, but i cant find anything but poor chinese copies
My wheel center caps? Those are just stickers from Amazon that go over the aftermarket wheel center caps
Hi ... question ... can you switch to kmh? Tks
you'd need a km/h cluster to my knowledge, but esid would be able to tell you for sure
I have a question, I have the 2011 9-3 and I wanted to do this, I saw that the eSID3 fits my car but idk if the 9-5 cluster would fit do you know how that would work?
it only works on 03-06 as mentioned in the video! the guide linked in the description explains why in more detail.
Is it okay to order a brand new cluster? Esaab price isn't that bad compared to some on ebay
Unfortunately new won’t work. It has to be a new one that has been previously programmed - OR if you buy new, you can marry it to a 9-5 and then use it in your car
Wish you could do that for the NG 9-3...
This is a NG 9-3. It only works on 03-06 though
How much did you get the gateway module for? I can’t seem to find any prices.
They’re listed on the esid website and in the guides linked in the description
won't it be possible to connect a new panel on diesel 1.9 tid? Z19dth 2006
please read through the guides linked and the video! it works on 2003-6 models - your interior needs to look like mine.
@AutoAutopsy my interior looks like yours, but the manual says that it works with models with a gasoline engine, I have a diesel engine, and I would really like to put a panel like yours 🙃
I quote a line from the manual "The Gateway- solution currently supports Gasoline engine variants only (4-cyl B207 and 6-cyl B284), not Diesel engine variants (D223L, Z19DT, Z19DTH)" I have a Z19DTH engine, does this mean that I will not be able to install the panel ?😢@@AutoAutopsy
I saw someone else do this on UA-cam thinking about it on mine too
👀👊🏼
I wonder if the conversion works on a 2003 9-5 aero I got too look into it
It currently only works for 03-06 9-3’s unfortunately
This is so cool with a bit of luck someone can design and 3d print some accent pieces around the cluster, and really put the dot over the i so to speak ;)
👍🏼😁
where did you get that steering wheel?
Maptun: ua-cam.com/video/Hyym_mCq8xc/v-deo.htmlsi=uqAeVggIAA-wGUgL
cool it would be compatible on a saab 93 TURBO X?
It only works on 03-06 9-3’s currently!
@Esid...lets find a way to get this on the 07+ please, we know you are the right person to achieve this :P
He’s a genius!
Where can I purchase an NG 95 dashboard display? My Saab is 2009 95.
All of the purchase links and info are in the video/description box! This mod only works on 03-06 9-3’s so it would not be possible on a 9-5 at this moment
Works for 2009 saab 93?
See 3:10 mark of video
😎👍
👍🏼👊🏼
Would this work in a 06-10 OG 9-5?
3:08 mark of video.
@@AutoAutopsy Ok! Thanks for clarification.
I wonder how much everything was
The website and guide have prices for the gateway unit. Cluster price is dependent on what you can find secondhand.
UH? What the hell this never ends! 🤣
Now I have to get this too.... 😑🤪
Lol! Sorry for influencing you! 🤣🤣
Ok can I do this with my 9-5 aero
2003
It only works on 03-06 9-3’s currently
🏁📽📽📽🏁👍
🙌🏼
"Is there also one for the new model that you know of? Additionally, I have 11 clusters available. I'm working on a convertible project."
If you mean 07+, no. The guide linked in the description explains why it’s not fully compatible with 07+
Does that fit my Volvo?
Just kidding, I seriously doubt that it would be “that easy” and that you could that thing to where it would mimic a DIM (Drivers Information Module) and then translate that info to signals for that Saab cluster. Furthermore the R cluster would suit my car better and is already a gorgeous piece.
The R clusters in the Volvos are so cool…can’t go wrong with that! 😎
But i own a 2008 Aero vert! 😢
Darn :( unfortunately this won’t work then
Smd led mean you're need soldering yourself to install maybe you can just measure the led size and found in internet
Thanks - I figured someone would hopefully have experience doing the same but it doesn’t look like it
SUPER POZ. IZ SRBIJE
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Getting TPMS to work is the next hurdle...
It would be super cool if I could
I have an -07... so saaaad 😢
:(
I would still not do that to my 9-3 Aero vert.
I could not help but be distracted by those clear tabs that remained unpainted.....Usually you are quite fussy about details.....................
The clear tabs personally don’t bother me at all. I think painting them would make them stand out more!
What I read you'll lose some of the warnings such as "low coolant" warning when installing that one. Also eSid won't work.
Will keep my NG9-5 MY2011 and NG9-3CV MY2007 as they are. But yeah, they both have Android audio units 😁
The low coolant warning is stored in the SID, so you do not lose that feature. you can pair it with an esid without any issues. Sorry, not sure where you heard both of those but they aren’t true 😅👍🏼
You probably read the Saabplanet article? They unfortunately focus on all issues that would come if installing this in a 2007-2012. This is designed for 2003-2006 and works great on these cars! All functions work and eSID of course
Looks worse than before
I’ve got some great news for you - you don’t have to do it to your car if you don’t like it! First negative comment I’ve gotten on this versus the hundreds of positive ones
Fun but worthless
It quite literally adds features, but that’s *your* opinion.
Jacob you said this was only for 06 models my 07 convertible is identical to this.
It only works on model year 03-06 with this style interior 👍🏼
