Finally got the software updates I asked for. Wireless android auto now works and no more sos calls so far. Only problem now is sat nav does not work, spining circle with starting sat nav is displayed with the world map. Quick fix ?

Hi and welcome to the forum. A couple of “guesses” from me as I’m not technical either. I think your SOS requires a separate subscription! My wife’s Mini has it and the sprogs are sworn off pressing the button under pain of death! (An entertaining side note is that I worked on the...

...in the kenwood unit and was not keen on cutting the dash to bits.. the other thing that struck me was a comment they say its the only VW approves unit to work with the SOS button.. My 2 questions are: Is the connects2 vw approved like thq are saying? Does the alpine harness integration...

Let me know if you need more guidance. It does sound like your SOS needs to be changed. I got Darrens number at VanHaven and VW Reading called him each time. I also now need to be careful of future garage based updates as they will also knock out the dash / rear speakers. Over the air updates...

Hi Steve, Not yet it is going in on 17th April, I'm not holding my breath but apparently vw have sent the solution which I believe to be a software update. I'll report back when It's done.

No idea on SOS module price,other than it’s not likely cheap… I doubt it’ll need one TBH if it’s been fine for nearly 3 yrs. Most likely just needs the software updated. Just keep a mental record of when/where it’s doing it & get VW to look at it when it suits you. If you’re desperate call VW...

I need to move my aerial from the front of the van to the rear. I've found a 3m fakra extension, but what is it for? If it's for SOS I won't bother relocate as it's disabled and just seal the hole. But if it's for something else I'll move it. Thanks in advance.

The DAB aerial is in the drivers door mirror so that won't have been touched at all.. The thing on the roof is the SOS system.

...in the dealership. They told me it was 2 major software updates taking 4+ hours each to do, 1 on the infotainment system and 1 to do with the SOS button (which was green but not working) after that a full reset. Hope this helps, they wouldn't give me any more information than that. The...

...like a surf key with no remote/transponder the alarm triggers anyway? And if you have active WeConnect that should raise an alert via the SOS/LTE module. I hope that happens instantly because otherwise they have time to attack it, but thinking about it I've never tested on mine. I'm...

I think you have got 3 different issues not connected directly. One is the SOS module, which need replaced. Mine has just been replaced. Second issue is the infotainment. My unit has been replaced as well. 3rd Issue is the engine stalling: did you notice anything weird? Is your oil temperature...

I had had the same. After reading all these I opened the mirror and bottle that there are no aerials (explains the lack of radio reception, I bought it from somewhere remote and assumed it was an issue local to the area in Derbyshire). I ordered a GPS sensor, plugged in the blue connector and...

OK, thanks. It's going in next week. I wonder if they'll do it. Although last time they did something and replaced the SOS module it wiped all my digi dash retrofit coding

The SOS issue I had has now been resolved, by VW dealer resetting the SOS Module.

It’ll want a replacement sos unit. They were on back order.

Fault on it, but not covered under warranty due to conversion and damaged sustained prior to me buying it from salvage auction. Maybe I'll move to the rear. Do you think a 3m fakra extension would work?

...once our advanced tech team has found the issue" replies. -the unit does however connect to VW (they can "see it" and it does over air updates. SOS light is green. - VW now say it's the SOS module which is on lengthy back order (as they've seen it before in their own cars?!) I'm not...

...we get the screen to sit really nice. We have supply of the brand new Alpine interface which now retains the original mic, you still need a connects 2 sos retention, plus the facia, aerial adapters Halo 905/11 need alpine adapter for reverse cam input , plus a cam adapter for the qualdock plug

Hi RT, On full privacy setting the only thing that isn't blocked is the SOS system (according to all the little check boxes). If any other setting is used it goes to the screen posted by Pete above. If I switch on/off radio the screen goes away but mine doesn't seem to disappear unless...
