I got an error on the console that stated "SOS Emergency System Malfunction" and bluetooth connection stopped working also. Has anyone else had this error before? What does it mean? I don't even know what the SOS Emergency System is. Thanks in advance.

Check the MOST bus to see if the loop has broken.

The TCU unit needs to be replaced. Find a replacement and have the car programmed. the part ranges from 245-345 plus install and reprogram. Make sure your replacement has bluetooth. it sucks but this device supports bmw assist, bluetooth, and your 6 disc changer/fiber optic cable or aux /ipod.

That SOS error message magically went away. Thanks for all the hints folks. I suppose it might be the TCU flaking in and out. Hopefully it doesn't pop up again.
I'll keep my fingers crossed.
