Default SOS Call system failure

Hi Everyone!

I got my 5 series about half year ago, and since i have it I'm getting this really annoying message "SOS call system failure" every single time a start the car

I have searched a lot about this, and learned a good amount of thing about this issue, but it seems to be more difficult to solve that i thought at first! I'm trying to solve this issue since 6 months ago and still no good news!

A friend of mine erased the error twice but it lighted up again in the same day!

As i know it can be a ton of different thing i will try to describe my situation the best i can hoping anyone can figure out what's going on with my baby...

Starting the car i get the "yellow phone" thing...

Plus:

I still have sound, navigation and BT all working fine
The SOS button seems to work fine, at least when pressed it starts the call

Did anyone have any idea how to fix this? I hope that by the symptoms anyone can have the solution, or at least can try to point me in some direction....

Sorry for the English, it's not my native language.

Many thanks in advance!!! And happy new year everyone!

If you have the software to code this link will tell you what values to change to turn the SOS light off
