Tele Aid SOS connector

Have a 2002 C320 Wagon with the SOS malfunction. I read in other threads that it could be a loose Tele Aid connection. Can anybody tel me where those connections are?

I saw one post that said under the rear bumper, however that was for a sedan. I didn't see it on the wagon rear bumper, do I need to remove the bumper?

Any help here would be awesome!

Thanks,

I get the SOS malfunction because teleaid is not activated, according to the dealer. He also explained that they are not permitted to program it out to prevent the malfunction message for a condition that is going to stay the way it is. (I don't plan to activate it)
Yeah, that's what I said too...

If the dealer won't do it find a local indy with the software or a member on here to do it for you. I can't remember how to do it but it didn't take me long to do on my w203.
