Disableing Onstar

[sundawg]

Is there a way to disable the button on the steering wheel so it just mutes the radio and does not turn on onstar.

 

Thanks

On mine if you tap it, the radio mutes, if you hold it down for a second or so then the On-Star cell phone is activated. Maybe you need to develop a lighter thumb

+1 Me either, i just thought it was the mute button. I never realized it had anything to do with Onstar.

I believe on the 06 models the button only activates OnStar. On the 08 models tap the button mutes the radio, hold the button until you hear a beep than speak "OnStar" to access that or if you have nav, etc. there are other speech recognition features. I believe it's documented in the Nav manual not the owner's manual.

So on my NNBS 07 Chevy, I have the steering wheel controls, but my Onstar is expired. I use the radio mute button alot. But if I don't have Onstar/hands free calling, what happens if I hold this button? I suppose I could go try it, but I wonder if anyone knows? The same goes for the buttons on my rearview mirror. What happens if I press the emergency button there?

$5 says you will be connected to OnStar....you can renew at that time
