I dont think so, and thats probably deliberate.
The error certainly can as I was offered this as an option by
wow my local dealer said £105 for the battery plus fitting on top. But said they wanted £150 to diagnose the fault first as they would not accept the codes I had from Carista and would have to diagnose before doing any repair
I was told by an independent that the error on the dash could be coded out so it doesn’t display anymore
Pretty sure you can turn it off with OBD11 somehow.
Also i have the privacy settings issue, but it was because i had activated component protection which VW had to remove. But if the modem is broken could be blocking the radio perhaps, the modem is another known issue in the SOS unit i think

Possibly, although thats not the question he asked
We just had a wiring loop fitted by VW not a battery and SOS all good now.
Thats interesting, any more info ?
Not really when I purchased last June it came on when I left the dealership called them and they said VW would resolve. Called warranty and had approval VW looked at it and fixed next day. It says on the invoice SOS control unit needs repair kit VW5WA 998 058c and unit price £6.12 the rest labour. Didn’t claim on warranty.
I bought a battery from eBay, this item though expensive at £99 was all I could find as cheaper ones that had the battery in stock came to a similar price once delivery was factored in.
Easy fit as described further up the thread. Note that I did it with the engine running, mainly because it was freezing cold.
Light went green straight away.
I then reset the fault with my OBDEleven and the fault immediately returned. Light went red.
So I disconnected and reconnected battery to get green, and currently dying intend to try to reset the fault ever again!

Scratch that. Fault reappeared the next day
Get it scanned neil. That way you can can a definite answer rather than using the van as a parts cannon mateScratch that. Fault reappeared the next day
My scanner had told me for months that the battery was low, then told me be battery flatGet it scanned neil. That way you can can a definite answer rather than using the van as a parts cannon mate
I haven’t had the fault looked at yet only had it a few weeks. 21 reg btw. It may or may not be the reason?.
Im not sure. If it were the reason then the folk that have had new batteries, looms, etc, wouldnt have fixed their fault...?
I have the IT skills of a Jaguar-Land Rover computer security manager, so I'll wait until either the van or the app tell me to go through the process.
