...the drive and practicality, but seem to have developed a quirk! Infotainment unit is randomly restarting and today went off completely with the SOS Call Error contact workshop message Threads on here and elsewhere seem to suggest a common issue and fixed with cable and unit swap out...

Welcome @AGfrom83 You've probably figured it out by now but the other is the primary LTE antenna used by the vans data/SOS system. Technically it can still function in an emergency as there are secondary antennas but I suspect any data services will not until it's replaced.

Out of interest was your sos light on or off?

...installed and having issues with the DAB reception which is constantly dropping out now, where I had no issues at all with the original head unit. Not had anything else changed or fitted, just the Halo 9 and the loom to connect to the VW set up to retain steering wheel, SOS, menus etc. Any...

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/
