First thing I did after I bought my G8 was to remove the onstar box and replace it with a bluetooth adapter.   I always knew they would pull this type of shit.

Same here!  OnStar is a big POS.  Waste of money.

Hmmm. New technology added.  Wasn't aware of that.  But it sounds, after reading it, that it's less inoxious than On-Star, Can't be all bad, it's free. JK

OnStar's crying uncle after the media (and presumably customer) hoopla over its plans to track former subscribers. That's terrific news
