Hello. I've got the annoying T6.1 SOS Call Error on my dash. VW have confirmed its the backup battery and quoted me £425.51 for replacement which is slightly melting my head. I'm told it can be reset or cleared using OBD11 and a Pro Subscription? Is there anyone in the Exeter or Devon area who...

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a quick win regarding that annoying "SOS battery: see workshop" error I had on my T6.1 back in January. After a bit of digging, I found the SOS module uses its own backup battery (3G0915089) for emergencies, and while it’s not an MOT failure, that constant ping...

Ok, so I’m pretty confident I have a failing SOS e-call backup battery on my 2021 T6.1. I get the ever so helpful “Emergency Call Restricted. Workshop” alert. However, absolutely everything continues to work just fine. I’m adamant I’m not paying a dealer to solve a problem that’s been designed...

Good Afternoon I have just bought a 2021 SWB T6.1 Kombi and I am very excited to give it the Soft Swamper treatment. I've got black, badges and grills ordered and now need a nice lower splitter and some swamper wheels. Unfortunately I now have the dreaded SOS Emergency Workshop warning on the...

Hi All, Quick question. I'm the owner of a new-to-me T32 23 plate kombi. My kids were messing around in the van and they pressed to SOS button. Luckily was able to cancel it. 5 mins later they pressed the service button - but a voice message came up saying that this service was deactivated. I...

Hello people, Just recently bought my 2020 startline T6.1 and I'll be looking to get it to a level of going camping in it which I am very excited! Annoyingly I have encountered an issue with my head unit and the Android auto system. The issues are... 1) having no sound whilst playing music...

Hi all. I’ve been having the SOS emergency call since I got the vehicle (6.1 T32) however recently I’ve noticed that when the error kicks in and the SOS light does not turn green, it really messes with the GPS on my carplay connected phone. This happens with all the maps apps and occurs even...

Hello, I am installing a new headunit Alpine LX-f115d and I want to retein the SOS e-call. I have ordered the retention kit (it is out of stock for the moment) However I was wondering once the kit arrives, I would to know where it needs to be installed. As I am removing the dash panels...

Hi all, hope you can help. I have a t6.1 with a skyline pop top, as part of this they relocated the aerial to the back of the pop top. Recently I've been getting the sos fault and to take it to vw. When I rang them they immediately said it just needs the update. However after them having...

Apologies is already covered, did a search but couldnt find anything. I have fitted an aftermarket head unit to my T6.1. This in turn stops the sos function working and caused a warning and light on the dash (i was made aware and told this can be coded out with Vagcom). I have a local garage...

This just came up on my Caravelle T6.1 Error: emergency call.Workshop! any one have any ideas? See photo attached. Thanks!!!

Hi all, New here, with a T6.1 in Pure Grey picked up from the dealer two weeks ago. Annoyingly, the day I picked up the van they told me there was a fault with the SOS button and some of them have been calling emergency services randomly, so they disabled it for me. Whilst I'm not that...
