There’s a lot of smart people with common sense on this site. I have learned a lot too.

What GM MAY be responsible for is collecting and sharing data it has no right to share because it could, as apparently in this case, cause financial loss to someone's wallet due to shared information that was not agreed upon by the plaintiff to share in the first place. It seems they signed him up for data collection/sharing when he already apparently declined it. Regardless if it was free or not. Then, unbeknownst to him, he gets penalized by insurance companies based on this data. That seems to be the crux of the situation as I read it. Same sorta thing happened when we bought the wife's Cadillac. They hit the OnStar buttton and started the sign up process right there in the parking lot. Before, I'd do it at my convenience. I kinda didn't appreciate that. I've been bouncing around the idea of canning OnStar anyway. I keep it on the Cadillac for the wife since it's "her" car anyway. I think this pretty much makes up my mind. If it's not there, they can't bother us about it or collect my data. I just got to figure out where that OnStar module is on the car and whether or not I can unplug it safely. They already "unplugged" 5th gen owners whether we liked it or not when going to 4G/5G, so fugg 'em. Got an iPhone that knows where I am and can call 911 for me in a bad crash. So what's OnStar got that iPhone doesn't? It'll be just one less thing probing into my personal business.

GM to stop selling our data
At least untill they can find another loophole or do it quietly.

The one thing they wont do is stop collecting the data. There are other players in the game too, like onstar, OEMs, LEOs and the telcos. With so much data and so many customers, my guess is somebody somewhere will figure out a way to monitize that data. I don't expect a press release to announce it.

I used the GM AUthority article to make sure that the App was opted out of OnStar data sharing or whatever they called it, good step-by-step how to and mine was already OFF I just used it to make sure and that I didn't miss something.

That seems like good news, if accurate.
Now - if we could get them to make it more difficult for our cars to get stolen so easily...

Called onstar yesterday. Told them to cancel my free trial I got when I picked up my 23 lt1 a few weeks ago. When asked why I was so adamant to cancel instead of letting it run out, I told them. Guy told me they've had many similar calls recently. This for now, pull out the box shortly. A bit swamped at work for now to start that project

If you don’t want OnStar, your car is not built with any component of it at all. And it can never be upgraded to have the capability. No “OnStar On Board” window sticker

So if you did not know even if you turn off OnStar they still collect data. You have to ask them to total turn off any connectivity. I have a 2019 and Free OnStar expired long ago. They however would still send notifications about oil changes and other conditions, which means they are collecting data from the car.
SO you have to ask them to TOTALLY disconnect the car for any remote data.....mine was set to end in 2029. I am Now disconnected |

They'll stop emailing you so you'll feel warm and fuzzy, but the tracker is always there. They can, and likely will continue to snoop and sell the data
