Did you need the VIN to plug into OnStar? 

Yea I provided them with my vin and they connected me. I put a geo location on it so when it leaves the lot I will receive a text notifying me so I know it’s on the way to the dealer.

How did you get the VIN? I'm surprised that OnStar let you track it like that since you don't own it yet.

Technically I do own it. Paperwork was signed. Paperwork sent to gm financial. Dealer already had a vin assigned.

Got a tag transfer and all.

What was the advantage in doing that?

Really no advantage. I was locking in the incentives and rebates for the month of June. Issue was that it was the only RST available. They have several locations so it could of easily gotten sold at another location. I worked out the deal. Put my down payment and locked it in.

Hi there. Fellow member here also waiting for a truck that is currently waiting for a ride from the boatyard where it was dropped off 2 weeks ago. Regarding onstar. Do you just call them up and tell them this is your ordered truck and this is the vin. Could you please tell me where it’s current location is? Or do they interrogate you with 50 questions?

I was just in contact with Onstar and they told me this was not even possible. They told me Onstar could not be activated unless someone pressed the blue button. Been waiting 4 months for this truck, ordered 3/5/2020. All I know is that its been in transit for a week and I live 4 hours from the Plant.

It is possible. Worked for me. They can activate it without pressing the blue button.

 

I’m currently looking at the location of my truck. I can see how much gas is in it. Tire pressure and odometer reading too.

Lol! Tell them that you are the owner of the vehicle. Provide the vin. That you are trying to locate vehicle and need your onstar app to connect. They should connect it for you.

Well. I was going to give this onstar thing a try. But. I just checked my emails. And my salesman emailed me 2 hours ago with the awesome news. The truck has arrived at the dealership. The pre delivery inspection will be done tomorrow morning. So I have an appointment to go check it out tomorrow afternoon. Finally!!

I think that between Chevy chat and OnStar they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground half the time. I asked chat if OnStar can ping the truck and they said no. That the blue button has to be pushed twice? Chat gave me the VIN and said it departed Silao enroute to Lordstown, OH on 4 July.

 

On a related note my son pointed out that my VIN contained the word YEET.

Some Chevy chat people don’t even know what an event code is. And some have told me that’s confidential dealer only info. I just disconnect and hope the next person has a remote clue.

Keep trying. I had a few chat people say they cannot provide it. Then I found one person that provided me with the event code.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
