How to remove the SOS message from a Mercedes-Benz using the TOPDON Phoenix Plus

How to removed the annoying SOS Please Authorise or SOS Not Activated messages in the Dash or Instrument Cluster of a Mercedes-Benz.

This message was common from most 2000-2009 models especially the
E-class (211) S-class (220) SL-class (230) CLK class (209) that had Tele-aid and or Mbrace (the name changed but the features were the same.
If you ended up having a failed tele aid module, you would still change the coding the cluster or central gateway, and then you would have to change the coding in the command head unit or audio gateway to show tele aid not present and then install a fiber optic bypass loop so the error would not cause audio issues and or warnings on the dash. I will try to do a video on that process in the future.

In this video I use the Topdon Phoenix Plus to access the coding menu of the instrument cluster to change it from present to not present which means the cluster will not look for messages from the tele aid or mbrace control unit.
In the old Mercedes the message was to alert the driver that their subscription was no longer active. Well over time it became a nuisance to see. So in the dealer we would Code it out of the car meaning to basically shut it off.
I hope this helps. The link to the Phoenix plus is below.

I don't know if you'll read my comment or not, but I have many problems with my 2013 mb slk250 first thing is fuel gauge is not giving a reading but it's move on ignition 2nd position, Secondly gas cap door is not working, trunk is not opening not with remote or electric button, key fob is not working only when it's close to driver door SAM sky not working, are these problems related to programming? Please advice. Thank you

Would the xtools a30m do this?
I have a 2003 ml350 and I want to remove the stupid teleaid from under the seat but can’t because SRS lights come on the dash and it’s annoying.😂
I can easily remove the bulbs, but I don’t know if by removing this system, it would like, cause the airbags not to go off in an accident or something which would be worse. I live in Florida and we don’t do car inspections here so I don’t need to worry about failing inspection due to this SRS issue. 🤔

Master Lou, I guess the same can c done with the infernal SRS/ child seat light on dash. Just say', "not present "
