Telematica back up battery location?

[cavok]

Good afternoon all,

I'd be grateful for some advice please.

I have a 2014 530D M Sport Saloon, it has only done 34000 miles and is lovely so I continue to use it albeit occasionally!

I'm getting a warning on the idrive that there is an "SOS Call System Failure"

I'm led to believe it is highly likely to be a failure of the telematics back up battery.

Does anyone know definitively where it is on my car please? I'm seeing various reports of underneath the removable panel in the headlining by the rear window, or somewhere in the boot.

Many thanks!

not sure if its the same as the G90 but in the headlining at the back...

Thanks, I saw that video but I don't think it is there. I took off the plastic panel and it was different underneath. Just looks like the gubbins associated with the shark fin and relevant wiring.

Mine on the g30 is under the headlining under the shark fin. Drop the headlining a little at the rear and should get hand in to remove it.

Looks to be in the left hand side of boot, right behind the rear seats.
