Android Auto is great. I run it through an MA1 Motorola adapter since the 18 didn't come with wireless android auto. AAwireless box was ultimately terrible and all the small nuances added up. I don't think it will share telemetry data like speed with google AFAIK. It was a pain in the ass to get the rear two bolts. Front two were easy, requires a a lot of pressure to wedge that pannel behind the passenger's knee airbag then put it back but it has some flex. Otherwise once it was lowered the antenna box didnt take much to get out. Be careful putting those two rear screws back, I dropped one behind the carpet and thankfully was able to fish it out using the force. I got very lucky. Maybe tape that edge of the carpet so it doesn't fall behind it if it drops and magnetize your socket! No changes have been announced but it seems some on 19+ cars reported their AA/AC microphone does not work after removing this board, however if its the antenna booster daughter board, I have a hard time understanding why that would mess with the microphone. Maybe the onstar fuse was not replaced which is needed to restore the microphone. But you can test the onstar button in various areas, should error out saying it can't connect you. |

So I have a 23 SS and just removed the Onstar module. As others have stated, the onstar lights go off after a couple of minutes. Strange thing is, pushing the mic button on the steering wheel works while the onstar lights are still on. However, once they are off so is my steering wheel mic function.
BT still functions properly and can make and receive calls but only initiating through my phone or CarPlay on the infotainment screen. If I only lose that mic command function, then I am fine with the removal of the onstar module. I like anonymity. Lastly, the removal of the module was different than the older models as depicted in the OP, it slides out where the two antenna connections are after you remove the two silver screws holding it in the housing. |

Why (if anyone knows) the circuit board is not completely shut down after pulling off the wire connections from the board, why is it necessary to actually remove the board?
Does it have additional plug in connections soldered to the board that make a secondary connection? Thanks.

good Intel here
I signed an opt out form predelivery and pulled the fuse. no lights on up top. pressing any of the buttons results in nothing. Even though all the OS equipment bullshit is still installed I assume I'm off the radar ??? at start up I have a message onstar not activated |

Have you noticed the battery tray in the new models. 2023?
Altough its empty. are they anticipating a battery to still get connected if the fuse is pulled? Like any decent alarm system with geolocation? |

I'm sure it can't be this simple, but what if you slid the antanea and module into a Faraday cage bag or two to block the signal and leave everything connected?

Thanks for the detailed instructions in this thread.
As noted above I did lose the compass function and my nav shows the GPS logo with an X through it. GPS still seems to work though. |

Please forgive my lack of knowledge on how the antenna(s) connects to the board. There is two antenna connections on the board. Are they both for data being transferred to and from the vehicle or is one connection for sending and one for receiving? Reason I ask is just wondering if there is a way to make it so the vehicle can not send out info but can still receive. This way there is no data being shared from the vehicle but the vehicle can still receive info for things like the gps for the navigation, speed limit info, etc. Figured it was worth asking.

By terminating the antennae to ground with those SMA 50 ohm loads, you effectively terminated (get it?) the antennae length right where they are attached. But, the entire electrical trace from the output of the chip that generates the signal, to the end of the antennae, is strictly speaking, still an antennae, which is why earlier I do believe that some signal was able to get through in gatormaro's testing. At a much reduced signal strength he was close enough to a receiver / transmitter tower that it was able to communicate. I spoke to one of our RF design guys, and he suggest getting some old fashioned copper tape and trying to shield the rest of the signal that way. I'm going to pull my module (I have a 2022 ZL1) and bring it in to work and take a look at it under a scope, and let him have a gander at it. These big brain guys love a good puzzle. For now, I'll probably just pull it when I get around to it.
