Re: "ON-STAR" QUESTIONS and CONCERNS.....
if i had a newer gm vehicle i would get it.reason i would is i have severe medical problems and am considered disabled by the government so god forbid something were to happen to me while driving or while out and about i would feel better knowing that backup safety blanket was there.im considering getting a new vehicle anyway as my current car is starting to show signs of some possible failures in the future most of which would cost me alot more than im willing to spend to fix.does anyone on here know if you can get some sort of new car discounts for having a disability say along the lines of needing a new car for medical reasons i.e getting to appt's and what not.ive never actually bought a car from a dealer before so i know very little about the kind of deals and what not that they offer you.

Re: "ON-STAR" QUESTIONS and CONCERNS.....
UTT OHH websites log your ip address too and show which websites you visit. info is easy to come across. how many cameras do you think your face is on in one day and in how many different places. i bet the first time you were down in a ditch off the side of the highway knocked out and bleeding onstar would seem like a pretty good idea regardless of any other bs associated with it.

Re: "ON-STAR" QUESTIONS and CONCERNS.....
I do not know about their turn by turn navigation. My Silverado has navigation already, so I don't need it. I also don't know if the government can track you or not in it. I suppose it is possible, but if you are not on some terrorist list or something, why would they? Can you emagine how many people it would take to track everyone with on-star?
![]() I like some of the other features of it also. I like the emails I get every month that tell me how much air pressure is in my tires, if they need air, oil life, fuel filter life, and etc. They will even run a diagnostic on the truck in the event there is a problem. We did that once with my wifes car, because the check engine light kept coming on. On-star told us to replace the gas cap, so we did, and the problem was solved. Who would have thought that?? Anyway I like it. WES

Re: "ON-STAR" QUESTIONS and CONCERNS.....
What I find humorous about all this is those that feel that not subscribing will make a difference.
I won't go in to the debate about "Big Brother" watching you. If they want to track you, they can and will. Lets just say that Onstar was providing info to the "man". Do you really think that by simply not subscribing to the service, it is magically turned off or blocked? It's active even if you don't pay the fees. It's just not accessible to you the consumer. If you have a need for it, pay the fees and enjoy the benefits. I have the service in my GM trucks for several years and have yet to have the FBI/CIA/Homeland security knock on my door or raise my insurance rates.

Re: "ON-STAR" QUESTIONS and CONCERNS.....
wow.. raised hell with that one..
yes the cellphone part is also true.. but to avoid the lock and things getting political fox news did a special on it a few months ago, and the cellphone microphone can in fact be turned on also so as long as the battery is in the device.. so anyways.. tech free world is over.. and this is why i like the classics..

Re: "ON-STAR" QUESTIONS and CONCERNS.....
Sooooooooo, I "googled it" and found this, it was on an obviously one sided big bro website, so I won't give the link or any of the other BS, but check this out:

I recently got issued a new Discover Card and the letter attached to it basically said that their system was "compromised" so they were issuing new cards to people whose accounts may have been compromised and I needed to activate the new card ASAP and destroy the old one. My defense against it all? Don't do stupid illegal **** ![]()

Come to think of it, that same rule would apply to everything I own.
