I agree, espically if they get engine telementary. Rental cars data-log everythig you do, and report back to rental company.
Here is a tid-bit about On-star. Federal law requires all phones to be able to dial 9 1 1, even a disconnected line, or non-active cell phone. The same is true for On-star. even if you are not a member, they have to send help.

Man, the paranoia sets in.....
Who said State Farm is monitoring? geez....
If you have OnStar AND GM is monitoring why don't they cancel half the warranties on this forum!!! Additionally they could share the info with other insurance companies, for a price. AND, why not notify the local police departments of readings taken from speeding owners and have the police department set up a speed trap for each individual owner.......geez, you people.

I have State Farm but this program is currently not available in Michigan. The program is called: Drive Safe & Save™ Insurance Discount. I know that it requires them to monitor your mileage but unsure if there are any other things that are/or will be monitored in the future for you to receive the discount. Considering that the program is called Drive Safe, I could see them expanding the savings to those that don't participate in activities such as speeding etc.

I agree with Greybeard though.

Even if you don't have a contract with them, they still have 2 way communication with your vehicle and can access your computer modules too.

About 2 weeks after the final encounter, he confronted both at the front door of the guys house and served the divorce papers himself.
He paid very little, financially, in the divorce outcome.
