Chevy App
I have owned (3) C7's my 14' Base, 16' Z51, and now 19 GS... at what point did Chevy start charging for the convenience of starting the car and unlocking the doors @ $14.95 a month ?? That sucks.. also since mine was a CPO, according to the benefits, I should have 3 months of access .....but apparently they shut you off after a month unless you give them your CC info with a comment that "you can cancel before they charge" .... and I got a bridge to sell you made that mistake on my 14'....

The app should work 5 years on a new vehicle purchase. You also need to set up your onstar account by pushing the blue button inside your car along with the online registration that the dealer does. So you have to complete all these steps for it to work correctly.

I realize you probably meant something else like unlocking the doors and starting the car via this Chevy App thing but I have an M7 so I can't start the car unless I'm in it and I have it configured to automatically allow me in if I have my FOB.
Maybe you should re-word things...

No consolation to those who purchased before 2018. As I posted earlier this was a line item in the option group I purchased of course they fa8led to mention the option expires. Really, an option (remote start) I paid for expires!

My 2017 Denali had 3 free years for the app....my 2017 Z only got a month.....was told it changed in 2017. No way I’m paying $15/month for the app. Complete BS on a $120K car.

Sad that GM / Chevy wants to bill me for an App, that does less than the Ford Pass app that came with my 2017 pick up for FREE, never ever a charge. Tells me where the truck is, how much fuel in it, my range. Can lock, unlock and Start or turn off truck. I can program it to start at a desired time, like say 7:15 am Monday through Friday. It tells me if there is a recall, if service is needed, it a tire is low. I can make service appointments on it. Free, on a truck that was 30K less than my Grand Sport.
I had owned 8 GMC truck, last two Denali when I switch to Ford. Why? The Denali is so far behind the Platinum in technology it is not even funny.

GM changed how long you get the free remote start on the App. I have a 2016 Impala that I bought new and I get 5 years of free remote start from the App. They made a change in May of 2018 and if you sign up for Onstar after that date you must pay to have the ability to use the App for remote start after your free period. (30-90 days) So if you signed up for Onstar BEFORE May 2018 you are grandfathered into 5 years of free remote start from the App. If you sign up after May 2018 you must pay for that feature. I bought a used 2016 Corvette a few months ago and was VERY surprised to find out that this happened. I bought a automatic just so I could have the remote start on the App and now I found out I have to pay for it. On top of that, my transmission has the shudder problem that many 8 speeds haves. If I knew this before I bought the car I would have bought a 7 speed manual instead.
