    T6.1 replacing the infotainment system

    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...

    T6.1 SOS Error: emergency call. Workshop!

    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...

    T6.1 SOS Error: emergency call. Workshop!

    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...

    Sos error affecting GPS on phones

    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.

    Skyline pop top & SOS fault

    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...

    T6.1 DAB signal keeps dropping now PopTop fitted

    ...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...

    T6.1 SOS Error: emergency call. Workshop!

    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.

    Square aerial on the top of a T6.1, DAB? GSM? GPS? What is it?

    I think its SOS. Aerial still in the mirror.

    For Sale Alpine ILX-905D 9” media

    ...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...

    What head unit?

    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...

    T6.1

    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/

    Upgrading composition media to discover media questions

    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
