Emergency Call System Malfunction in Mini Cooper

My 2008 Mini Cooper is showing an emergency call system malfunction. An error is stored in the error memory, an error message appears in the speedometer, and the speedometer also displays a warning light. Has anyone encountered something similar?

Interesting. I had a similar call failure issue in my Volvo a while back. The SOS signal light was on constantly. Did you check the telematics unit itself for any visible damage or loose connections?

Where exactly is the telematics unit located in the Mini Cooper? Is it easily accessible, or do I need to disassemble interior trim?

In my Volvo, it was behind the glove box. It's probably best to consult a repair manual or take it to a workshop. They can pinpoint the exact location and properly diagnose the cable connections.

Understood. I appreciate you sharing your experience. The diagnostic pointed to a defective cable or plug connection. Repair cost was 95€. Problem solved.
