Fuse Location for GSM Aerial

MJ650i · 11-11-2023, 11:53 AM

I've been looking everywhere and I can't find if there is a fuse for GSM Aerial. I have a code which says GSM Aerial: Open Circuit. Car is a 2015 650i GC

If you are in the USA…your GSM (global standard for mobile communication module) is defunct. It was used to make an emergency call in the event of a crash. Since your 2015 had 3G communication system…with the 3G sunset in the USA…these functions ceased operation.

The GSM is connected to the TCB (telematic communication box) & other modules which are powered by F23 (fuse 23).

You can see the location of the GSM (E66 in illustration below):

Ok thank you very much. I was wondering if this open circuit code had anything to do with my car being immobilised. Been down for a month now. I sent out my DME's, CAS, Gateway module and keys to get synced and the company couldn't find any issue with anything. Everything was running together on their test vehicle
