Installing Boost Gauge -- SOS Call System Malfunction

Alpine335TT · 03-05-2009, 08:27 PM

After installing my boost gauge today, I got a message "SOS Call System Malfunction" and my bluetooth and radio stopped working. I went back and checked everything and all the connections seem to be fine. Even went so far as reseting the battery and checking the telematics unit in the trunk.

Have any of you experienced this warning message before?

Thanks.

What did you tap into for power?

Unplugged everything and plugged it back in and still a no-go. Tapped into the cigarette lighter fuse as per the instructions.

Did you ever get this fixed. I have the same problem and I'm confused. Please do advise. Thanks. Aaron

I ran into the same issue...

When you were running the boost line down towards truck and hood latch there is a connector you likely disconnected to drop the plastic housing under the steering column. With the plastic housing in place under the steering column, this connector is outlined by about a 1x1 box, with no lettering or pictures on it.

Make sure this is connected, maybe even disconnect and reconnect.

That was my exact problem and fix for this.
