Emergency Call Message Not Available in BMW: What to Do

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Instrument cluster

In this video, see what to do if the message appears on the instrument cluster of your BMW indicating that the emergency call is not available: you will need to change the battery for the emergency system. You can find the battery pack, for example on Amazon, with the code B0BYDB7531 at a price of £26.08, with free delivery for Prime customers. The battery pack is located inside a box at the rear of the cabin. Inside, you will find a white box containing the system battery; simply open it using a small screwdriver and replace it. Ensure that the pins of the imperial are in place, as we had to lower them a bit to work on the battery, and then replace the cover.
