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.

To quote 'Franco' from the Gumball Rally movie: "What'sa behinda me, is not important" 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.

Another CF member recommended "Light Dims"
(found them on Amazon)

I have these on the mirror and they do the trick

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

I don't even notice it and to adjust the mirror I don't put my fingers on the glass.

Vette Jockey

I adjust using the frame that holds the glass.

I noticed the light at first and now it just blends in.

i looked after this post....not my 1st thought!!

I guess I'm blessed. I have always thought that it's on after you start the car, but after a little while the three lights on the mirror turn off. Don't they turn off? Now I have to check

That is always my plan, do not touch the glass, because if you do, now you have to clean it, but inevitable my thumb does not get the message and down on to the blue button it goes.

what was involved in that process?
is the camera better than the awful stock one?

description and pictures please

No....I've never noticed it when using the RVM...

There is a camera in that mirror? How do I access it?

Interesting find here.
An inexpensive/efficient way by using LightDems (from amazon) to to cover over the OnStar icon.
I like it..

The onstar mirror doesnt bother me. But I use these on my audio stuff for my movie room. You can still see a bit of light but not enough to rattle your attention.

It only happened one time with me. Now I go so fast I know a cop can't be back there.

Raidercop

Funny...and as retired 30 yr cop, never noticed it.

aklim

Well, DUH! You are the one flipping on the switch for the disco lights to come on.

mdformula350

yeah had the same thought when I first started driving it 3 years ago and still comes up from time to time.
glad i wasnt the only one.
never bothered me enough to try to do something about it though.
