Saab WisSaab Wis

This video is Jonathan Jogenfors (editor of Trionic Seven – The YouTube channel for Saab enthusiasts) user’s guide for the Saab WIS (Workshop Information System) and EPC (electronic parts catalog) software packages.

WIS and EPC contain tons of information for doing DIY on your Saabs, whether it’s a Saab 900, Saab 9000, Saab 9-3 or Saab 9-5. WIS tells you about workshop instructions, fault code diagnosis, service bulletins, service intervals, diagnostic procedures, and special tools and much more. EPC shows parts dia grams and part numbers. Any serious Saab professional or hobbyist should have access to EPC and WIS.

You will need a copy of WIS and EPC (available on eBay or via filesharing sites), and 32-bit Windows disc (this video shows Windows 7). You also need VMWare Player version 7 which is free to download.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.

  • Hi!
    Every time I start WIS, I cannot see in the Username box nothing, even no “Default” user parameter, just a blank field there.

    Clicked OK and WIS displayed “Could not find” and WIS turns off after clicking OK.
    What I have to do to solve this problem, if it is possible to solve?
    Thanks for help!
