On Star is a joke...

Never use it, navigation on my phone is 10 x better, remote start on key fob, theft, as stated above, theft, is the one reason I would keep any part of it.

I'm sure this has been said before, but I got a letter from them today stating my free trial is running out and I better act fast! Which sparked my annoyance immediately. ;)

How is On Star not considered outdated -already?- with smart phones, AAA etc...what purpose on this earth does paying a premium to have a middle man (or woman) on the phone with you accomplish?

My rant is over....however, I am willing to listen if someone has a legitimate defense for their case.

I miss the on star Verizon partnership. I had a phone in my truck at all times.

If OnStar were to lobby the insurance industry and get me some discount that I could us to offset the cost, I’d do it. But it would be the OS lobby working with the insurance lobby...

The only thing I like about mine is the MyChevrolet App and the ability to use the remote start. I'm going to miss that when the trial goes away. NAV sucks!!!!

Check out HUM by Verizon. Way cheaper than OnStar.

I started using it when I bought my Hummer in 07. I like it. Most navigation systems irritate me and I like just punching one button, telling them where I need to go, what I need, where's the nearing diesel, pizza, a hospital, etc. That' all there is to it, simple, quick, I can do it while I'm driving. If something really bad happens, I know they will have somebody on the way ASAP, no matter where I am. My Brother in Law was in the middle of nowhere Texas and his transmission started acting a bit strange. He called On-Star and they told him what was wrong, where the nearest dealer was, and that it was safe to drive to that dealer. I like the monthly check ups on the truck I get via email. When I'm on a long trip, I know I'm never alone, I like the idea of talking to a person if I have an issue or a question. For me, it's worth the money.
