OnStar Remote App.

Prdtrgttr · September 11, 2013

I've been at home nursing an Achilles rupture, so I have a little more time on my hands than usual. I downloaded the OnStar remote app. , put it into my Blackberry Z10 Smartphone, and voila, I can lock/unlock and start my vehicle from my phone. Additionally, I can find an area on a map and then send the directions to my truck, which then gives me voice directions. Am able to see my "dash" info too, fuel, oil life, km's...Sometimes Technology is simply amazing!

Anyone else got it?

Yep, I got it last week. Does a lot of cool stuff... also makes me a little paranoid knowing they always know where I am, etc. I guess privacy goes out the window with all these new gadgets.

Yup, been using it to warm up my truck everyday when the regular remote is out of reach

Yeah, looking forward to using it in the winter time.

Had it since I bought the truck in March 2011. It's great because where I usually park in my apartment is marginal with the remote so on cold or even hot days I'll fire it up to get the cab heated up or cooled off. I don't fly much anymore but the best thing ever was after I got my things in baggage claim was to fire up the truck with the phone during the winter and by the time I reached the parking garage the truck was warm and the windows defrosted.

I use it everyday. Downloaded it for my iPhone the day I bought my 2014. Very handy to have.

Nice Truck, nice Phone. I'm assuming you side loaded it onto the Z10?

Thanks for the kind words. Really nice truck and the BlackBerry Z 10 is amazing as well. This tech stuff is crazy!

Please find the enclosed link...this is how I side loaded the OnStar app.

I don't like the new version as much as the first one. This one loads slower on the Iphone but works faster most of the time. The latest version will not keep me logged in all the time, I need to sign in each time I use it which is very slow.

I wish it would give current status of the remote starter and whether the doors are locked and unlocked also would be nice if there were push notifications on your phone for if the alarm gets set off...

On star app is also good for impressing dodge and ford fans!

I would be happy to look into this and see whats going on. If you can PM me your OnStar account, operating system for your Iphone, and contact information. Looking forward to speaking with you!
