Anyway boosted the car using my 911 (grin, how ridiculous is that) and now it starts again. Radio and speakers are working; no more Emergency mode and SOS button is no longer flashing. But I noticed my DSC light is staying on as is the parking brake light. Hoping a few power cycles will clear it.

Car is now sitting in the garage with a battery charger attached. Will report more tomorrow or so.
Try turning your wheel lock to lock with the engine running to reset the steering angle sensor for the DSC and parking brake lights.
Thanks! I'll try that next time. Appears to have resolved itself over night after going for a drive and charging the battery. All seems good now, whew. Who wants to drive without the stereo
