Today sos malfunction message came back on. I m not sure what head unit you have but you may try to reset the radio by holding down the power button for about 25 secs.

Bmw Sos Call System Malfunction Youcanic

Bmw sos malfunction message displays on the idrive screen when there is a problem with the bmw sos call also known as the distress system.

Bmw sos call system malfunction reset. The most common issues are a software glitch a fault in the sos control module or a bluetooth pairing issue. I have 2 issues. Sorry guys what i wrote in my previous post didn t last for two days.

I m passing on a little tip here which i was given from the bmw coding site. Seems this is quite a common problem here in the uk at least. The level system comes on intermittently.

I guess i ll just have to let the bmw dealership update the software or do whatever to solve the sos malfunction message thing and also about unstable bluetooth connection with my phone. Depress the cd eject dvd eject and cd volume knob simultaneously until the idrive screen blanks out. Is there a way to reset the system.

After idrive reinitialisation remove your bluetooth mobile from the idrive menu 3. Just curious if this needs a trip to answered by a verified bmw mechanic. It will no longer be operable with the new to you tcu module.

It may only apply to uk cars but here it is anyway i had an annoying fault whereby at random times on startup an sos call system failure message would pop up. It should pick up the tcu after restarting and issue a reset on the most loop. Coding is needed to code out the sos function.

So for the record if you get such a message sos call system failure and it additionally messes up your idrive action the following steps. Emergency call malfunction comes on for no reason on my 2016 428 i. 1 is the level system malfunction and the sos system malfunction.
