yes, I changed the headunit and the speakers :) the only thing missing is the SOS, but there is no stock in spain.. so I am waiting to receive it.

I think its SOS. Aerial still in the mirror.

Out of 10 T6.1s we fit 9 Halos , to 1 Kenwood, the halo 905 fits the dash far better, the SOS retention is the same kit as the Kenwoods . The other issue is the Kenwood uses a third party vehicle interface which is graphically poor, and you have to use it via the MFSW , the Alpine is like...

...between dab/fm whilst driving , I suggest checking the dab/amp is switched on in settings. And check nothing is interfering with it, ie dash cam, usb chargers, aftermarket led lights, even some B2B , amps can cause issues. But it will not be the sos retention interface, or headunits wiring .

Just dealing with my first issue with t6.1. Sos emergency: call Workshop! I called the garage and the next available spot is January 25th, 2024. Great service

Thanks @roadtripper I’ve found the aerials in the mirrors when I added side assist, and I’ve also caught the cable for the LTE antenna (SOS) on the front middle of the roof. I need to replace the LTE antenna so thought I may as well put a shark fin up there with DAB, GPS, LTE etc

There does seem to a persistent number of 6.1 vehicles with faulty SOS modules. If it's that close to purchase take it up with the vendor and get them to replace it. At least you are getting a fault indication, other folks seem to get all the problems but the module (incorrectly) says it's...

...is your software up to date? I am having issues with mine and my dealer under All in plan has said that until the software is updated they cannot exclude or replace the head unit/SOS unit however they want to charge me a few hours labour circa £300 for the privelege of updating the software.

Halo 11 with sos retention

I believe if you set maximum privacy one of the things it will prevent is your position being used by the SOS system, and that might be why you are reminded every time. For balance I have mine (MY21 T6.1) the other end of the settings and it still chooses to remind me every week or so.

Nice. What is your wheel / tyre / lowered combo please?

I’m afraid I would take the VW view here. If the SOS is showing as not connected, and Skyline have relocated it, then Skyline need to fix it. The radio arial and SOS are different things, and I would expect phone calls are using Bluetooth/CarPlay to your phone rather than roof arial (again...

Can anyone identify the three coax connectors here please. Behind the driver's door card (RHD). There are no aerials in my mirrors and I have the SOS error and no radio reception so I'm trying to find which to buy. (Think I have the one for the LH mirror and the GPS black cuboid block from the...

You need to drop the SOS panel so you can push it in from behind. Its a pain as I found out when I mounted my heater control there. https://www.t6forum.com/threads/resolved-t6-1-cab-headlining-console-removal.38855/

...on my T6.1 Obviously doesn’t have to be fitted to a T6.1 but it’ll fit straight in as the facia is still on the unit. Only selling as I had a SOS warning light on after a couple of months of fitting it, so I had the original media unit put back. It turned out to be a vehicle SOS fault and...

Yes the SOS works and it does require 2 mics. It can be a bit slow to fire up in the mornings and I really only use CarPlay on it for nav, music and radio but it does what it should

So the van has been into VW for some MORE software updates to fix SOS issues etc. Unfortunately they fecked up my reverse camera. It was a retrofit so obviously they wrote over the coding. After an hour searching on here I've recoded it myself with my OBD11. Never looked into long coding before...

...answering another post it's not the LTE it's the GPS/GNSS antenna (got the two mirrors mixed up) but still the likely cause of the error as the SOS system can't determine your position. Antennas on a 6.1 in my post here: https://www.t6forum.com/threads/t6-vs-t6-1-wing-mirrors.49495/#post-651988

Alpine are working on their own usb c solution, wait for that
