Sos Fault Message!

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.

    Cheers
