    I Need Help with an E60 Expert

    Hello Experts!
    I have 3 questions,

    I have a 2005 BMW E60 (530i), full option.

    1. I want to know does my car actually have Bluetooth? If yes, how to connect it with my phone. If not, is there anyway to do it?

    2. I am getting SOS error message, how can I disable it? Or fix it?

    3. How to remove restraint rear right & left error messages?

    I highly appreciate your time guys!

    On the first item BT needs to be enabled thru coding likely, if not visible on the screen to turn on. Get either INPA/NCSEXPER Suite for laptop or the smartphone app to do it.

    on the rest best to get/read and post your faultcodes to see what is going on.

    Sos might be able to be by passed with the optical loop. Your car was probably prepped for blue tooth but you need the module and program it in., chec you vin for phone prep option. You won't be able to remove the restraint messages until you find out why there on I believe

    My first E60 was an early model where the SOS button had a stupidly bright light on it. Remove the switch/light assembly, cover the inside with tape, and re assemble it. It is otherwise useless at this point, anyway.

    Are you trying to connect to the phone for calling or streaming? you need to do a CIC/Combox retrofit to get bluetooth streaming.

    i would run your cars VIN through a BMW decoder to see exactly what options it actually has.

    the SOS error could be that your telematics unit(TCU) has failed. you may need to get a new one.

    the restraint errors would need to be fixed to get rid of the errors. getting the codes read would be a good start to figure out exactly what is causing the error. was the car involved in a wreck? could be that the restraints were replaced, but the vehicle was not coded to know that they were replaced.
