Sos Fault Message!

[willkursavka]

So I live in Russia, and imported a 2010 X5 from Germany.

The car has the massive phone cradle in the arm-rest box between the seats. As a lot of the iAssist etc services don't work in Russia and that it was taking up so much room, i un-screwed it and cut the wires...

Now I'm getting the SOS fault light coming up all the time.

Please someone tell me how to remove it? Do I have to reset the iDrive? Or take it to the dealer?

Thanks very much!

Where, exactly did you hack the loom?

Reset will be necessary in any case ;)

I'm my opinion the vehicle will need to be connected to a diagnostic machine.

A Autologic tool will be able to disable the SOS or telematics module.

Do you have the Bluetooth phone solution?

SOS normally only flags up when there is a whole in the fibre ring.
