I know OnStar uses AT&T networks, so guessing it's sim card based. Not sure if that means it will work for other fequencies like Verizon and Sprint.
So, you're going to toss out all amplification of the sending unit and the gain provided and go with nothing more than a longer and bigger piece of wire.

You don't need jack up anything at that point. Just make a trip to Walmart and grab a mobile antenna, some wire and some 3M tape.

I would think the whole point of the venture is to have something offloading your cell handling, and then to repeat it locally to your phone amplified, for use in low signal areas. Most of those devices I've worked with are all powered.
