SOS iNactive code...? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

tommay248 · 03-25-2009, 11:40 AM

So im having my dp's and O2 sensor, rix gage, and Borla installed. Things are not final yet, but when I turned the igntion on to see if the gage worked (without starting) I got a code that says something like SOS inactive or something... its the SOS letters and a picture of a phone with a line through it.... Dont see anything in the manual

Any ideas?
THe car is in a steel building, would that block the signal?

The only time I ever got that message was when my Amp was blown and no audio in the car worked

weiiird, ill check to see if the radio works... any idea what may have caused it?

A body shop punctured a drain pipe from the sunroof which leaked water down into where the amp was and it blew. I doubt that is the cause of your issue though

yeah it cant be that, hopefully when it gets completed and out of the steel building it will go away, i hope at least, I mean the engine is going to sound great but I do love NPR in the morning

You check your fuse box? Could be as simple as that.
