SOS error and tyres

[kingsol007]

Hi fokes,
Recently collected a 2018 gsa rallye which I am very happy with, I have owned many bmw and this is the second gsa.
I got an error message that the sos could not connect - happened twice but went away - is that just a software issue?
Also it is running pr5 trail tyres - are these the same as normal PR5- I find quite a road noise from them and had same issue on a 1200rt with PR3
Thanks in advance

If you have the latest software, normally sos could not connect is when you are in a area with no network connection, as for the tyres Trail are as they say for slight offroad bit like the Anakee 3,s but better, the normal Road 5 are pure tarmac tyres, latest software version below.

Yes that makes sense as I was out mobile range for short periods

Road5T have an overall softer compound compared to standard Road5, which can make then noisier

I get that sos message a lot usually every ride.....is sos something that is subscription free? Can it be switched Off?

Yes , SOS is subscription free. If you keep getting the "SOS failure msg" ask your dealer to check with BMW for a software update for the SOS module to prevent the false messages. The fix is nothing to do with the TFT software version.
That is according to my experience with 1250 and feedback from dealer.
