Emergency Call Malfunction

chiuyang95 · 02-14-2019, 12:26 AM

I just had Comfort Access Retrofit from BimmerTech installed today. After installation (I'm not even sure these are related), 'emergency call malfunction' message popped up. The button has failed but all other things (bluetooth, gps, microphone, etc.) are fine. This is a preowned vehicle and I don't want to go to any dealer. Is there a coding option to just disable the SOS call? I found on the forum some code for E90/F01 but I can't find those codes on my car. Any help would be appreciated.

I suggest assuming they are related and contact BimmerTech. If they are related, you are probably not the first one to notice it.

Got the same problem for no reason since last week. Hopefully someone could help us out.

On my F32 440i I got my roof wrapped gloss black & over the course of about 6-8 months, the adhesive around the shark fin became weak & water actually got into the antenna underneath. Everything shorted & I had to get the part replaced & reprogrammed.

Luckily I suckered my dealer into doing it under warranty.

Even though my shark fin was tampered with & yours likely aren't, I would check your guys' to make sure they are functioning properly.
