LOL! I thought it was only for getting directions to the closest DQ. I NEVER thought onstar was a good idea(at least for me). If it can get enough data to tell you that the oil needs changed or can unlock the doors remotely, it can shut you down too. Not that you’re doing anything wrong, I just don’t care for the idea of somebody else being able to control “my” equipment. Kinda like the new smart phone app for home security where you can do all the alarming remotely from you phone. The first time I saw the ad for it my immediate thought was, “Well if I can look at my security cameras using this, how long before some enterprising youngster can look at or override it?” Not too long probably.

The other possiblilty is that they could scramble the onboard computer remotely, and not only shut you down, but turn the vehicle into a boat anchor

same as me.
I refuse to have a built in GPS, on star, those security Apps, and those other sites like carbonite or other sites which let you down load your info so it’s supposedly safe.
