Other videos skip these tips that I wanted to share! The Optical fiber loop can bypass any component and not affect the overall optical fiber network. When a node in the MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) fails , it also can help diagnose and find the fault point.
BMW SOS FIX No Audio Error Fix CHEAP
BMW’s are great vehicles, I absolutely love them. I’ve owned several models, all the way back to my first BMW, my beloved, estoril blue E36 M3:
estoril Blue m3
I currently drive a 2006 BMW 650i, and the car has treated me great over the years (though she is getting old now). With all cars, you need to keep up on the maintenance, and from time to time parts fail. I try and do all of the repairs and maintenance myself. However, every once in a while a problem arises requiring research on the various BMW forums to figure out a better solution than bringing it to the stealership. The BMW SOS fix just so happens to be exactly one of those problems. It is also worth mentioning that Audi, VW, and Porsche are susceptible to the very same issues.
In this case we have already done the research for you. We even took the time to make a KZbin video illustrating the problem and solution (skip to the bottom). However, If you want to know more about the problem and solution, keep reading!
The problem:
BMWs utilize a fiber optic network called the MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) network. It’s based on fiber-optic technology. Although it is a very fast and efficient networking technology, it’s susceptible to breakdown if any one component in the chain goes bad. Think of it like a string of Christmas lights, if one light goes bad, the entire sting does not function. In our case if one component in the most network goes bad, the SOS light illuminates on your dashboard, and audio output will to cease to function from any device on the same network. Boom, no Sound.
Here is a picture to help illustrate how a BMW network is typically arranged:
BMW SOS fix
The Solution:
Lucky for us it is almost always the same component that fails in the BMW MOST loop, the satellite receiver. It is always the same part used to bypass a defective component: A fiber-optic MOST bypass adapter.
However, there is another problem! The typical fiber-optic MOST bypass typically found on the Internet cannot be used without user modification. Consequently, these units need to be carefully trimmed by the consumer after receiving them to make it compatible with the BMW male MOST adapter disconnected from the satellite radio receiver. Thankfully, they are now available pre-trimmed on Amazon so you can literally install it in seconds right out-of-the-box. Here is the link to the pre-trimmed part if you want to get right to the BMW SOS fix!
In our experience 90% of the time it winds up being a defective satellite receiver in older BMW’s. In other words, If you are not into listening to Satellite Radio, there’s no need to buy a new, expensive (around $1000 from the dealer) satellite receiver. Once we bypass the defective receiver with the adapter it will be grayed out in your menu as an audio input selection, and everything else will be back to normal!
This BMW SOS error light fix is a simple task (read the KZbin comments to review the success stories), the video below shows the install in detail.

I have to admit it, I was a bit skeptical about this video. Bought my 08 650i 70,000 miles and clean title from a used car dealership that is well respected spring 2024. First week, issues with audio in car ???? Called dealership & talked to an audio specialist. Ok I'll speed it up after bringing the car back to dealership and they say they replaced blue tooth module. Got car back & same b/s. So thank God for tutorials like this. I rolled the dice ordered the bypass loop in the link below the video and Shazam. Amazon dropped it off 5 minutes later stereo working. I hope there's a BMW engineer watching this video and feeling guilty because they should ! Thank you so much for this very helpful 411

[@thegroupies9520]

Ok, I had the exact same issue and by far this is the best explained video. Only minor comment, meaning if you want to still have your trunk intact looking nice is that you have to unscrew the trunk covers, which took me exactly 25 minutes. So thanks and you saved me tons of cash at the 'Stealership' whereas they told me I need a new radio (that I first bought with labor and all installed for USD 560), and which after 2 days stopped working. Based on my own due diligence, it's definitely the satellite radio (SOS) which caused by breaking the SOS loop (that's a BMW service you can pay for in the USA and Europe when having BMA only car issues). Unfortunately this entire system is connected with sound (BMW chimes, car stereo, etc) through that stupid insane Satellite. Hope this helps! Thanks again

[@deem3767]

The solution for me (for BMW M4 2015) was: I took the panel off located located underneath the drivers dash & steering wheel (above the brake & accelerator pedals). There was a loose plug (small flat white plug) which pops into a small white long plastic box, and I made sure the smaller wire (with tiny red plug) was plugged into what looks like a small speaker. The SOS Fault warning code disappeared right away and hasn't come back. Just in case it helps any other viewers.

[@mo_nstro]

panel with screws ?

[@BubbaOnYaNerves]

@@mo_nstroYup. It’ll be the panel under the drivers seat, think of it as a glovebox, just on the drivers side. But if you have an E90, it’ll be T15 or a T20 screw tip, 3 screws

[@acea2412]

I have a 2017 BMW I8 with this exact issue and the dealership acts like they have no clue about what's going on. As a result, I'm definitely going to give this a try. Thanks for taking the time out to make this video.

There is absolutely no use for the male version when it comes to bypassing. The best option is to get the pre trimmed female version because can bypass any component

[@quiteactually]

Bear in mind that this isn't the be all, end all SOS fix. I just picked up a 2010 650i for short $$ that had a several electrical issues going on. Since the radio works, but the bluetooth won't connect, the TCU unit was a fault. You want to make sure, and pin these components out separately, before diving in.

Very helpful and right to the point video! Thanks for the tips! I’ll be ordering one of those cables to address the interesting problem on our 2008 E91 with the basic audio system. The SOS fail is accompanied by a static “ticking” sound. All audio alerts/chimes/music work, it’s just static has been introduced. I pulled the connector off the TCU and noticed the static beats like a metronome to the fiber optic pulses. Any additional insight anyone may have would be appreciated. We swapped amps thinking that could be the culprit, but no joy.

It is such a shame that this "well-oiled" machine has the absolute dumbest items breakdown on the car. What bothers me the most is how it disables your other features or the errors take over your display screens. I have never, ever, ever touched this SOS button feature and now I have no radio, can't make any calls, and I can't bypass the error message. I purchased my car in 2010 and you won't believe the number of stupid errors I get from this vehicle. Oh ... Thanks for instructions on how to fix it! Sorry for the rant!!

[@jeffreyjones9556]

i have a 2007 bmw 550i, have had this vehicle since Sept 2009. Currently approx 170k miles. I recently spent several thousand dollars to replace the coolant system and other issues. When I took the 550i in, I told BMW dealership something was draining the battery and coolant light continued to come on, with coolant leaking. Their fix was replacing the coolant system, I can provide a copy of exactly what they did, and replacing a Negative Battery Cable for cable cost being $371.69. I am trying to figure out if what has been done already, may have had something to do with SOS issue I have right now. Before the SOS light came on, a few hours before that happened, I was outside and noticed my front left headlamp was on... it was the only thing on, not both headlamps, only the left one. I cranked the car, just to make sure it would start, which it did. A few hours later i was ready to leave work and started my car. That's when the SOS light came on... The car started but absolutely no audio and no i-Drive... I drove it home, parked in the garage. It was late and I didn't have time to deal with it then. I didn't know what it meant, knew it wasn't good but had already worked 13 hrs that day and was done! The next day was just hours away! I have another vehicle, so was able to drive the other vehicle the next day. However, the following day I attempted to start the 550i, but to no avail, the battery was completely dead. Something is still draining the battery. I am thinking what the dealership did, was NOT fix the problem with something draining my battery. I don't listen to satelite radio, do not have a subscription. When i took it in to fix the coolant system and whatever was draining the battery,, I told them the CD Exchanger in the glove box sounded like it was still running when i turned the car off. The battery is fairly new, i can check to see when it was replaced and provided an exact date. Bottom line is, the battery is completely dead, the audio and i-Drive quit working when the SOS light came on but it would still start then and ran good on my way home, that evening.. Now I cannot start it but need to know what you think and what my options are... Thoroughly enjoyed your video. However, I'm thinking the literal thousands I spent within the last month, may be related to my current issue. Your thoughts and help is greatly appreciated. I am not sure how this works, I have never subscribed before.. Plz make a believer out of me! Best regards, JAJ

Hi, I am in Australia with the dreaded SOS malfunction fault. After watching your excellent video, I now am hoping this might fix my problems. I have no water damage unless it is around the shark fin, but no signs of ingress. Apart from the SOS failure, which if I can clear with the loop cable would be great, I have no reversing camera and it defaults to a map screen, no bluetooth for my phone to connect, and no TV which I don't use anyway, (is this your sat radio? 4th option on right). I have been looking for the SOS battery and can't find it or info on location/ part number. Does this model have a battery? Do you think the loop cable might be a fix? I found a SIM card in the TCU and as 3G is phasing out here could this be the problem? My car is a 2008 X5e70 3.0sd with the CCC system, built in USA I believe. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Used voice control coincidentally last week, the fault message disappeared dramatically, and didn’t back till today. I rarely use voice control before, have tried to disconnect blue tooth device and reconnect from other youtube video, didn’t work well. Can’t say it’s the solution, but cost nothing and worth a try.

[@ModsAndProjects]

hello, thanks for commenting :-) the bypass loop is a great tool because it allows you to identify exactly which component is malfunctioning. The particular loop in the description of the video above comes with direct customer support to assist you with identifying the exact problem and helping you to decide whether just bypassing it or regaining the functionality is the best course of action. A lot of times people just bypass out something like the satellite radio to get rid of the SOS light or to get there sound back, however, if it is something like Bluetooth that you might want to get the actual functionality back the tech support will guide you to the best course of action in getting it addressed avoiding the crazy prices the dealership would charge. For $14 it’s pretty awesome that you get that level of technical support!

Did you get the adapter from the link in the description? If so it comes with full support and contact info. It could I be one of several things

[@TonyaMWhite]

@@ModsAndProjects Yes I did get it from the link below. I went back and notice that I didn't see a red light; should have to let me know it's working or not?

[@ModsAndProjects]

@@TonyaMWhite Do you still have the contact info card that came with it?

[@TonyaMWhite]

@@ModsAndProjects Yes I do and I just realize that I might not need the fiber optical because my radio comes on without it it's my AUX and SOS that's grayed out. Do you have any suggestion for that?

[@TonyaMWhite]

@@ModsAndProjects Yes I believe I do. But I don't think that's the issue for me because my radio does come on without the fiber optical. It's my SOS and Aux that's grayed out. Yes I have subscribe to your channel. Thanks!

I bought the regular jumper from Amazon and it plugs perfect to my car, no sound though but the screen came back, I checked all fuses involved and they work, my next thing might be that the amp isn't working.

I bought the same part and I plug it, nothing happened, maybe I need to trim the socket to get the optic connectors more exposed. Thank you!!!!

Thanks for doing this video, I was headed to BMW! One question, I drive the 750i, 2006 and I'm getting the same SOS signal but my radio still works, should I still get the same female plug?

[@ModsAndProjects]

Yes, if you get the one in the description It comes with support to help you figure out what the issue is even if you can't quickly figure it out with the loop.
