Blue OnStar icon
Am I the only one who, with a slight glance and their peripheral vision, think there's a cop behind you because of the blue OnStar icon on the rearview mirror?
It drives me nuts. I'm thinking of putting a piece of black tape or sticker over it.

Honestly, I've never really noticed it.... but I probably will now!!! Thanks a LOT! 
One of these days though I have to find out how to shut the OnStar "announcement" off when the car is started......

It is very common feeling. Black tape is fine. Actually, I think I found some precut stuff on amazon that was made to specifically darken it without totally blocking it. So for me, that was better than the black tape.
Eventually, the OnStar trial ended and I was not going to pay for their overpriced service and I replace the mirror with a Camaro/C8 mirror and rear camera.

I have had that feeling a time or two, I just really want to know who thought it was a good idea to put that stupid blue button right where my thumb naturally goes every time I need to adjust the rear view mirror??
Probably was some input from ON STAR, hoping to get additional business from folks mistakenly pressing the button.

I have these on the mirror and they do the trick

That blue icon in the mirror does make you look twice.
