Basically my question is do i need to pay to use this feature? what are the benefits of havin OnStar? can i just talk to them when im bored lol?

 

on star for our cars is no longer supported due to them switching over to a digital cellular network.

 

wait when did this happen? i hit the button a fe months back and someone started talkin to me

 

I think the analog service ends next year. It should still work. GM is offering retrofits for their models, but sadly not for our cars.

 

It is the analog service that no longer works. The old systems will still work as long as it uses the digital network. The digital network is the same networks that Verizon uses.

So if verizon is not available, your services will not work.

I work for Chevrolet and I never knew that Onstar was available in Acura/Honda? What models had it?

 

yeah for our cars onstar no longer will work..





I was thinking of maybe setting a bluetooth using the mic and speakers too.

 

my thoughts exactlty. somethin like the motorola one

 

Only the 2003 TL with Navigation had it. Sadly, they also upped the price by 150 to cover the cost of the now worthless onstar. (if you bought the car new)

 

I should add that the MDX and the RL had Onstar--but I don't know which years offered it.

 

Maybe a slap in the face is in order so you guys can get onstar back.

 

i have the onstar thing in my TL... they better have services at least if not ill just keep begging them until they get services haha... XD

 

Check out my posts in this thread for more info on the discontinued analog Onstar service:

I am so bummed that the Onstar ends at the end of the year. I chose not to pay monthly to the end. I really love having this security feature. I actually used it twice when I locked my keys in my trunk at the grocery store. LOL I also liked that it could locate my car if stolen. Living in the bay area, ca I really need this feature. So, I would be totally for some sort of campaign to get them to change their mind. We also have the Chevy Silverado and that expired, too. We can get the upgrade but I'm worried about the cost. Mike B, do you know how much it is to upgrade?
