SOS system failure

pmlzl · 10-25-2014, 10:01 PM

So I recently had some work done on my car which included having a module and an amplifier replaced. So now when I start the car I get this alert..SOS system failure. Anybody else have this same issue? I drive a 135i 😊

They may need to program the system after replacing the module. I know after a dealer software update mine quit working and I had to take it back for then to reprogram the SO and setup my account on it again.

gee! well I also noticed that mine fairly used bought 2009 128i BMW non iDRIVE convertible shows the SOS sign, with consequent loss of the Bluetooth function and audible which was working before. The radio works and CD works. Can this failure effect the performance of the Engine. This condition has been on for days now, even with offing and restarting the Engine

Hello: The module is called MULF. It is in the trunk just in front of the battery. Don't let it get wet, as I did.
