I forgot to mention one thing...the one thing that feels like it has some value is the integrated cell phone, believe it or not. The amp in OnStar's cell unit is much, much more powerful (FCC maximum for digital devices, I believe?) than a typical iPhone or Android type pocket cell phone. I live too far out to get cell service at my house, but I am able to send/receive calls via OnStar with the car parked at the house. It would be a good backup comm device if the power went out or DSL went down (which they do, frequently) |

Onstar is a waste of money. I keep AAA for towing, gas locked keys ect.

To me it's worth it. In Arkansas cell phone service can be sketchy and it's nice to have onstar there.

When you hit the tree and your head hits the steering wheel your family needs help ASAP. Nice to hear "THIS IS ONSTAR WE HAVE HELP ON THE WAY to your Location". < Happened to my sweetie. YEA I have it on all my cars

I was thinking now way when I first got it but I like the added safety and troubleshooting the system offers. I am going for it.

Safe and sound if you've got the nav system.

It's like totally split here. I'll see if I can get a discount, who's got $200 to throw away? Plus if Palmer says no, who am I to refute?

Remember now you can track your car with onstar too. I love that feature. I got the safe and sound plan and pay $10. They will negotiate with you if you tell them your not really interested. The safety features alone are worth it to me in case of an emergency. Besides, I also get a pretty good discount with the insurance company to have it.

My dad got T-boned in his 2013 Silverado by a minivan going 50mph+ in a rural area with not much traffic.
The impact knocked him out. He was woken up by the Onstar operator asking him if he was ok and that they were sending help. I'd say it's worth it.
