When I bought my 2015 Sierra. The dealer told me that I would have on star basic for 5 years that would give me remote link app, vihicle key fob commands, vehicle diagnostics, and maintenance notifications yet After 5 months the only thing that works is the key fob commands. I called on star and they said sorry for the misunderstanding. .???

According to OnStar's website, basic should be free for 5 years, but is limited in what it covers.

My "Free Trial" ends soon also. I see there are nice things about OnStar, no questions asked however all I want and need is the app so I can unlock with my phone if needed and I really like to be able to start it with my phone on COLD winter days... Of course Canadian pricing is different but I need to see if Canadian program is same as above... I will do some digging...

5 years! I thought it was 5 months, mine just ran out and I renewed the Protection Plan. Only thing I really use is the keyfob commands on the smartphone which are the best thing ever IMO. I was unaware that would remain working for free!

 

Although with a pregnant wife and a 3 year old I do like the assurance of the auto crash response, but knowing that the basic three items are free I might not renew next time around.

The Diagnostics is Via email only your monthly report and I had to go online and add that I wanted that it's off by default once your free subscription runs out.

Anyone know how to add multiple cats to the app? I heard the app supports up to 4 vehicles but I can't figure out how to add the second one. ..

On the On Star app I don't see the option. You may have to log in on line.

 

Get the Chevrolet app. Does all the same things the Onstar one does and it is easy to add another vehicle. Btw I can add my wife's Caddilax SRX to it

At the top where you have your first vehicle name. Mine is the Silverado. There should be an arrow. If you click it you see your first veh info and an 'add another vehicle' link

A couple of things to add to this thread:

 

  • Yes you get the Basic plan for free for 5 years. Basic doesn't include much but does include the monthly diagnostic reports (sent to your email) and the key fob/remote start features of the app.
  • You can add up to 4 vehicles to your account (I have 3 on right now). I added them through my account at onstar.com so I don't know how to do it through the app.
  • Right now there are different apps for Chevy, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, and OnStar but in the next few months GM is going to combine them all into 1 app.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
