then again, it could be a real bitch! I've done display changes on electronic equipment in the past and it's usually pretty straightforward, BUT...remember we're dealing with Saab here. First let me say I do not have a clue as to what the display specs are, but it shouldn't be too hard to find out from Saab. You need the display size (both physical measurement and pixels), voltage, pin-out (a lot of these are standard, but some aren't) and manufacturer and manufacturer's part number if possible. Armed with this info, you can try some of the electronics part distributers (Digi-Key and Mauser Electronics come to mind) to see if they have a replacement in blue, red, yellow or green. These are the common display colors. Usually the displays themselves are not ridiculously expensive. If you find one, installation may be as easy as plugging the new one into a slot like a computer memory card or multi-pin wire connector like a hard drive connector. Also, most of the posts dealing with the SID problems concern the display itself losing pixels or burning out, so installing a new display could eliminate the stock problems. Also, the fact that Saab replaces the SID and not the whole integrated radio unit seems to tell me that replacing the display can't be too incredibly hard or time consuming. I wish I could be more specific as to the Saab display, but in general, display replacement isn't always that tough. Good luck, and if you do investigate further, I'd be interested to know what you find out. If I can find anything more specific, you'll be the first to know!
