I own a 2007 silverado. The free onstar is almost over and was wondering where the onstar module is located. Would like to use the cellular coax cable to connect my own phone to the trucks external antenna. I live in an area of very spotty and poor cell phone reception. Any suggestions.

Thanks for looking M.Cueva.

 

Hey 99Silverado1500, look behind your glove box. It may be there. Read that on a Google search, but it wasn't there on my model. Maybe it helps you out.

Do you have a diagram of where the Onstar Module is on a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD Crew Cab? My father wants to take his out so Big Brother can't watch us.

 

I think you can disable Onstar with one fuse. At least that's what I'm told by my handheld tuner instructions, which tell me to take out the Onstar fuse before I do the programming. I know which one it is but it's late here and I'm not going to go out into the snow and find it, but your fuse box diagram should tell you which fuse it is. Would it work just to take the fuse out I wonder....

that would be the quicker way for it to be shut off, but the original poster wants to use the oem antenna

I think we are on a wild goose chase here unless you know how to work with the coax they use you are going to have a hard time making the antenna useful for anything other than onstar. That said the module is behind the passenger air bag you need to remove the dash cover to get to it. It's kind of a pain the first time but not as bad as it sounds. I posted full instructions about 2 weeks ago to someone else. If I can find it I'll repost if not search my posts for the last 2 weeks.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
