Although you are "opening the SID", you are really changing the Trionic ECU to broadcast a series of selectable engine parameters on the CAN Bus. The software in the SID does not change; by manipulating the buttons on the SID you can have the parameters being broadcast displayed on the SID screen one or two at a time.
The way it is done is by downloading the existing Trionic software to a PC using T7Suite, checking the open SID box menu item in T7Suite, and then flashing back the Trionic ECU software to the ECU in in the car.
There is a base set of parameters you can monitor, and if you know the symbol name, you can watch almost anything.
There is a fair amount of research you need to do to get started, some hardware you have to buy, and you have to accept the reality that you could screw something up spectacularly if you don't know what you are doing.
Having a spare Trionic box is also a good idea if you are going to start messing around.
