TCU not connected

[Sporky McGeuschky]

SOS system is in the vehicle, a button in roof console that you can press if car breaks down. It takes you to the emergency services. It’s in all new cars in UK and Europe

So is this something akin to, say, OnStar? I have never had anything like that, but I remember the TV ads from back in the day.
You press the OnStar button and talk to an emergency roadside dispatch agent or something like that? ... And that requires the TPU to be connected in order to operate correctly?
Is this a backup plan in case your cell phone goes out of service at the same time the car breaks down?

And you also want this feature? ...
Or you "want" this feature, so Big Bruv don't notice you getting "out of loine", and goes knocking on your door to conduct a "Wellness Check"?

This is what I mean by spelling it out for me.

Or don't. Because he is probably listening.

Cheers.

(... and please forgive the trolling. I don't got a loicence for it.)
