Satellite radio gone and not transmitting vehicle info to BMW Assist

JamesRG · 01-23-2011, 09:19 AM

'09 335i Conv. just returned from body shop. (Rear ended)
Satellite radio is gone from menu (module is present), and not transmitting vehicle info to BMW assist. Bluetooth is fine.
HELP!
Could this be something simple I could fix myself....like something easy is disconnected?

What work was done at the shop?

You probably need to have the sat radio coded in again. As far as the TCU goes. Mine doesn't transmit coordinates to BMW assist. Not sure if it's a hardware or software problem but I haven't looked into it much. Calls do go through to BMW assist though, just not coordinates.

Conv top had to be removed and put back together. Seat belt tensioners and air bags had to be recoded.
Rear end was pretty banged up.
