"mourning coffee". Too funny but sad with all that's going on!

Someone said they have gotten "alerts" from their recently-free OnStar, but they got voice or text messages.

I know this sounds stupid but did you happen to have your dog riding with you? This has happened to me in my wife's cadillac multiple times before i figured out that my dog would activate the passenger seat occupant sensor off and on when she would move around. She weighs just enough to teeter between activating it and not so I would get random dinging.

Any chance you had left the turn signal on for an extended period no of time? Just throwing out a guess here.

I would have thought that some message would have showed up on the dash.

I had 2 dings this morning right after startup without any notifications. I figured my fob was being pinched.

I believe it also makes this sound when it finds your home wifi network, if connected.
