Sattelite can't see your cars gps when in a garage.When I first got mine I was in garage playing around with Onstar.Long story short tech could not diagnose why he could not see my location until he politely asked me if I was in a garage.I pulled out problem solved.

Mine did the same thing last night when I signed up for the report. Car was in the garage so it couldn't see it. I went to the gym this morning and when I get home there was an email with the report.

Forgive me for asking. What report are you talking about I have onstar but never get a report or calls about my car however I only have 500 miles on it. Should they tell me if the air is low or anything else?

you should get a report from onstar every month; showing mileage, fluid levels, air pressure,% of life left on oil,and tell you they or ok or not. as long as you still have a contract with time still left. they need your e-mail address. i'm not sure when i got my first one---miles ?you can check with onstar, you will need your contract or account number.

I have not received a report from OnStar and mine has been out and about for a couple of days. Yes, I did sign up for the report.
Simply OnStar, they talk a good a program but do not deliver.

Mine showed high air pressure. I thought it was because the C6 stays in the garage and maybe the reading was obtained after the tires had heated up.
You have me wondering now. I can never get any of my four tire gagues to match up with what the DIC says my tire pressure is anyway. I wonder how accurate those air pressure sensors are anyway?

OnStar is not a satellite service. It uses Verizon's regular terrestrial cellphone network to communicate with the car. It does use GPS to locate the car, but that doesn't matter for the diagnostic services they offer.

I used to receive these monthly reports but now that I no longer have OnStar they use my email address on file to send me spam pestering me to reactivate OnStar. No link in their emails to unsubscribe either, in order to stop receiving email from them you have to write to OnStar Customer Service.
