Smart driver opt out
when I took delivery, I signed an OnStar opt out form.
does this mean I'm automatically not enrolled in the smart driver spy program ??? my account in Chevy .com verifies I'm presently not enrolled in OnStar. |

Damn forgot all about this, thank you for the reminder. DO we know what insurance companies use this?

I know Progressive does. I had my policy rewritten a week ago and asked about the snapshot devices. She said it would run through my OnStar. I declined.

I believe the "big brother" thread specifically mentioned State Farm accessing OnStar data via the Lexis-Nexis database service. I just noticed Lexis-Nexis listed on the insurance renewal paperwork I received today from American Family / Connect insurance (Costco).

Pretty sure YOUR data is not sold by OnStar.
Your Camaro may be part of Camaro data sold but data for your car and you is not identifiable. But that is counter to he conspiracy theory and the internet so carry on.

Great info in that thread, if it isn't a stickey it should be.

My 2010 Camaro is now invisible because its OnStar is 2G based and now dead, but I have another Chevrolet with active OnStar. I found that I am not enrolled in SmartDriver. I don't recall the details, but my salesman sat with me in the car while we went through OnStar activation and phone pairing, so I must have declined SmartDriver. So, if I'm not mistaken, we're all in control and don't have to pull fuses or de-activate OnStar in order to prevent data from reaching insurance companies. |

I checked My Chevy app after the first thread on this and I was not enrolled. I purchased a new GMC truck in December and specifically asked the salesman to decline that, after this thread I checked the My GMC app and I was enrolled! So I have two plus months of my speeding recorded somewhere. Not sure if related as I've sold and purchased few bikes and sold and purchased a new truck this year but my new insurance bill (effective Mar 19th) went from $2800 to $4100. My agent bid me out and Farmers picked me up for $2400 for the same coverage, they must not subscribe.
Anyway worth a look and shop around. |

Tinfoil hat or not I turned that crap off.
One of my gripes about my Challenger, in the performance pages it had a top speed record. You could reset it, but it was there. That said I do not drive super high speeds so kind of moot.

My service tech (laughing) mentioned he might have seen 190 MPH on that. I have known him for years...lol On my ZLE they auto enrolled me in the "driver spying". I made sure to turn in off in the GM app after seeing the "Big Brother" thread when it posted.
