Yes exactly this. Make sure green light is on the SOS panel above head first which will confirm there is a connection from the unit itself. That was my original issue that was identified with this post.

Great news that the VW software update fixed the Android Auto audio issue. Out of interest which software version did VW install on your head unit?

I have the SOS Error Emergency Call Workshop error too. Took it to my local VAG garage and the diagnostics suggest it needs a new unit for £1,500. There was no outstanding software update that needed to be loaded, and they even tried to force an update by saying a new unit had already been...

Hey, did you manage to solve your issue? In same position, am likely going to contact skyline as well.

Issue resolved! I had contacted vw customer services, they asked me to send photos of the unit and the sos unit, they noticed there was no light on my sos unit, which meant a trip to my local vw garage. They replaced my faulty sos unit (Unit + fitting 100% covered on goodwill, which is...

There's also more chance of electrical gremlins down the line with the 6.1 that will end up costing: Infotainment units / Sos control units failing. Personally, the 6 is better build quality.. the 6.1 just inherits the 6's issues with more thrown in.

Everybody here has got past the loading profile page. I've tried hard reset, sos button, type c keyboard and mouse, repeatedly reconnecting to Bluetooth and phone cable but nothing.... It's now 5 weeks and it's never got past the loading profile. Zero radio, zero anything.

Hi, I live near Newport south wales, has anyone got any recommendations for a non dealer garage for some work now (sos button malfunction, too much oil warning light) and servicing in future? Have found places in llantrissant and Cardiff but looking for something closer to home. Thanks

SOS Orford...

Tried my best to avoid but head on, I was ok, van looked after me , SOS kicked straight in , and even arranged the police Yes written off, 26k plus vat to put it right , then vehicle hire was 9.5K plus vat

If this is your budget then maybe look at this- https://dynavindirect.co.uk/select-your-car/9-inch-android-navigation-system-d9-333-pro-c-for-vw-t6-1-transporter/ We installed one for a customer who brought it to us, it retained the SOS and all vehicle settings/information etc

...to a garage and they were talking about £130 investigation plus this and plus that, apparently in the past they've found the cause to be "something to do with the aerial in one of the wing mirrors" It still makes the sos call so what exactly is the problem? Anyone ever find a solution to this?

Not on the van, but I had it numerous times on the Superb. If I held the SOS button in for 30 - 40 seconds, it started an SOS call, cancel that by pressing the button again and it reset itself. Eventually got Skoda to admit to an issue and put new software on though.

...any pics of how the Halo 9 looks once fitted. I will eventually need to change my head unit out, as it plays silly buggers from time to time & the SOS keeps going off on pretty much every journey. I like the look of the Halo units, but the size (especially the Halo 11) is a bit of an issue...

Hi All I’ve had my van for a total sum of 3 days now and I keep getting a SOS error. Does anyone have any ideas Sorry it’s a t6.1

It sounds to me more like the SOS fault for you is a symptom of something else going on in the electronics rather than a fault in the SOS system. Do you have a fault code reader and are there any logged? I wouldn't put too much weight on connectivity issues between phone and head unit, they...

With the integration of the SOS system, it's made replacing the factory infotainment system much more tricky. There are kits out there now that can side step the SOS issue but the hole left when the system is removed isn't Double DIN so a fascia kit is also needed. The short answer to...

Just updating the post: We took our van back to Skyline to investigate the SOS fault (aerial connection fault on diagnostics). They took a look at the extension cable & joins, and there were no issues they could see. They suggested replacing the aerial fin but don’t hold stock (they only move...

Apologies is already covered, did a search but couldnt find anything. I have fitted an aftermarket head unit to my T6.1. This in turn stops the sos function working and caused a warning and light on the dash (i was made aware and told this can be coded out with Vagcom). I have a local garage...

One reason I bought T6.1 in version Beach is to have less electronic features that could go faulty. And here I am, getting the SOS Error Emergency Call Workshop error. Checking the price of repair - the amount is ridiculous. f*** Volkswagen. Car hasn't even 40 000km on it, 09/2020. I guess...
