| G-AMG G-Class DIY Host Date registered: May 2006 Location: South Texas Vehicle(s): '04 G55, '80 280GE, '99 S420, '98 E320, 2011 E350  | Photo DIY- "How to Get Rid of the Stupid 'SOS' Error Message" a la STAR Greets. I remember a while back, several people were trying to figure out how to get rid of the Error/Malfunction warning of "Teleaid and SOS" Malfunction that a vast majority of us have... Since getting my new "Toy" of the STAR Compact 3 Xentry..... I've had the chance to Play Around with things... Well, as usual, I am ashamed of MB's Tech Competence...... How many of you reported "My Dealer Doesn't Know How to Shut it Off...", and yet I, the "Temple Monkey", figured it out in 10 minutes. I thought it best to actually copy the screens during the procedure, so you can take it to the dealer and (HOPEFULLY) they will be able to figure out how to navigate to the Coding Page.... Here you go! I hope it helps...

I noticed in your 462241 the autopilot had a fault - make sure that the autopilot is working correctly for those long Texan roads  Karl | |

| MBG500Fan Member Date registered: Jun 2012 Location: Chicago Vehicle(s): 2005 G500 Posts: 32 | RE: Photo DIY- "How to Get Rid of the Stupid 'SOS' Error Message" a la STAR Yeah...I've ignored it this long so I guess I'll do it for awhile longer  The other weird thing is that there are some shops that can do it but say they are not willing to do it b/c it's a safety issue and they don't want to disable it. Is that true or do they don't know how to do it. Ha I'll just keep these print outs handy...thank you for the screen captures. | |

| RE: Photo DIY- "How to Get Rid of the Stupid 'SOS' Error Message" a la STAR Thanks so much. I printed out your screen shots and gave them to the local MB service manager this morning. Not surprisingly, I got a fair amount of pushback from the servicde manager on even trying what you suggested. In fact he even said that he had the same problem on his own vehicle several years ago and he just learned to live with it. He stated that he was afraid that disconnecting the SOS/Tele Aid module from the "network" with the all of the other modules would cause other parts of the "network" to fail. At any rate, it worked like a charm and for the first time in a long time my '02 C320 no longer reports the annoying "SOS Tele Aid" malfunction (and everything else works fine).  | ||
