ONSTAR wont DEAL!

i don't think the NAV in the factory GPS setups like in the bigger trucks and SUVs is a part of OnStar. i think those work like an aftermarket GPS Nav-enabled head unit, disk-based. which ultimately would make it kinda pointless to get the nav version of OnStar, but then again, i could be wrong.

oh, the one time I tried to use the turn-by-turn, the onstar "agent"(?) told me to take the next exit, go 500 yards, and the place was on the left. I was expecting a little more. My GPS of choice is TomTom, for the record.

I made sure my HHR DID NOT have Onstar when I purchased it....As far as directions - I have Verizon's VZ Navigator. I put on my bluetooth headset while driving and it offers excellent nav - better than the Garmin's in our ambulances. It is 2.99 a day or 10.00 a month. Cheap for me. I heard (and have no conclusive evidence) that OnStar includes a black box that automatically uploads all your info to GM (speed, brakes, radio volume, etc.) in the event of a crash for their legal teams....Kinda too big brother for me.

In 1997, my wife was involved in a very serious car accident that rendered her unconcious and a hospital stay of 10 days..If not for a few very helpful folks that called 911 and helped her out, she probably would have lost her life..
SO, with that said, I dont just want to keep the Onstar for the turn/turn navagation system, I want it in the event that something like I just mentioned above, ''might'' happen..
I just renewed today for another year at 249.00..

I don't know why you're laughing, but it has been used before.

Albeit it was reversed, the ability to do it is a bit scary.
The case arose from a 2001 FBI surveillance operation in Las Vegas, in which agents obtained a court order compelling a telematics company to secretly activate the stolen vehicle recovery feature in a customer's car. The feature, designed to listen-in on car thieves as they cruise around in a stolen auto, turns on a dashboard microphone and pipes conversations out over a cell phone connection -- normally to the company's response center, but in this case to an FBI listening post.

I wont renew onstar for the turn buy turn as I already have a garmin, but am thinking about renewing the basic accident plan. I believe if you want them to report if you are in an accident or to call if you see someone else, isn't it cheaper then $250 a year. I think it is $12 a month

I think I'll laugh with GDZHHR on this also.
In case you hadn't noticed, your first statement and your proposed supporting/confirming document, above, say 2 different things.....ahhhh, "without a warrant" VS "court order".
You people and your paranoia.....honestly !!!! Watch out George Bush and the NSA are listening to you also In case you didn't know it, you common landline house phone will provide the same resourse. Your cell phone will do the same and software to do so is available on the net for a minor cost.
