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.

If you're refering to Ford's SYNC, no not the same.

Cool tell me what is different. Inquiring minds like to know.

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
