OnStar question
Purchased a new 2016 Stingray 1LT in December. I'm coming to the end of my full-service OnStar. I've heard that if I don't renew my subscription, I won't have compass or correct time. Is this true?

NO. Somebody is feeding you a line of BS. If you decide to renew you don't have to go with the directions plan. You can go with the Protection Plan which is about $50 per year lower and qualifies you for an insurance discount if you let the insurance company have access to the vehicle mileage records from OnStar. I have the Protection Plan on my 15Z, 15 Terrain and my 03 Tahoe.

Thanks. Sadly I only have 950 miles on the car. Life has kind of gotten in the way of my driving it. I use my phone for navigation, so I haven't used OnStar once. I was just told that without their most expensive plan, I would lose my compass and clock on my screen. I thought that sounded strange.

You will still have the compass and clock, although you may have to set the clock manually and change it for daylight savings time. I don't have Nav or Onstar and that's what I notice. You will still have key fob services for 5 years from the Chevy app on your smart phone.
