After driving for a while get the sos notification alarm, contact dealership message
So after a Google search contacted audi preston nearest to me and they tell me that they need to do a firmware update that will take 2 days and this is free of charge, but they have to run a diagnosis for which there is a charge of £192
So tried to get as much info on this as I can
Have come across all sorts of info, some say that after a firmware update that it hasn't solved the problem, other have taken fuse out, or used a vag diagnostic tool to sort out
My rs4 has a stage 1, and have been told that I will.loose it if audi do the update
Advise needed
Many thanks

Tricky one - I’d find out what exactly this firmware is for and if it’s worth losing the stage 1

Going to see local audi specialist tomorrow hopefully there will be some way round it

Did you get the firmware update? If you did, did it clear the sos fault? Also, did affect the stage 1?

The SOS notification alarm on your Audi RS4 is a known issue in some models and typically relates to the telematics module or eSIM communication system. Audi's approach—performing a firmware update—aims to address potential software bugs causing the alert.
