I have nothing to hide and I'm not paranoid. What I am is a smartphone owner since 2011 so I pay for EVERYTHING onstar is already.
I have a phone that does everything onstar does. Ok, so it can't locate my car if it's stolen or I'm in an accident. In the words of the great Peter Griffin: Oh for Christs sake who the hell friggin cares? The odds of me ever being in an accident in the middle of nowhere are slim to none because I just never go into the wilderness, and if someone steals my car that means they can drive stick and have cracked my rolling code transponder ignition system, so they have expensive equipment and they're smart. Good for them. My insurance will cover it thank you.
I just don't agree with making OnStar standard and mandatory. The system should be an option. I will be removing mine as well - well, at least just disabling the transceiver so I can still have use of the microphone for bluetooth.
So thank you to the OP for providing this information - I've been getting antsy waiting for Helms to release the stupid service manual lol!
