New OnStar Agreement Update email
Checking the Tahoe forum and the Corvette forum I'd expect more people to be 'up in arms' about this email I got from Onstar. Basically going from 'court order' to 'giving away'(as in profit $) our personal driving data.
Anyway, I unplugged the cell cable and sat cable to the Onstar unit(the two FAKRA connectors), so they can't talk to me... yet, and GPS info isn't flowing to the Onstar.
We all know our Iphones keep 30 days worth of GPS. My Raymarine nav system kept entire boating seasons of trips for several years.
btw EPIRB's should go on only when you need 'em.
Does anyone know the memory capacity of the Motorola GPS Oncore board(or Onstar) in the Onstar unit?
I'm working on a GPS/cell? 'default on' switch with a manual 'off' switch on the dash. So I can turn it on when I think I want it.
Generally Onstar is not too bad, btw I have to go out and check that RR tire pressure, my monthly Onstar email says it's down 1psi.

I canceled my Onstar on all 3 of my cars a couple days ago. OnStar should be paying me to collect info from me not me paying them. Someone could also say that one is paranoid for keeping Onstar, almost like you expect something real bad to happen since a cell phone and AAA can take care of 99.9% of the problems. Onstar cannot even take care of 100%.
