How many of you are still using Onstar?

Thinking of getting rid of my onstar service. Good or bad idea?

Well, what do you use it for? I like having the phone and monthly maintenance checks emailed to me and if you have a 2010 you have apps for your phone that let you start the truck from further away. My wife has used it several times for when she locked her keys inside. We've used it to get directions and find places and report 911 related things. Before I had a scan tool, if the CEL lit up, I'd call them and they would give me the code or tell me to reinstall the gas cap. Been using it since 2006.

I'm diabetic and if I should crash, say into a canal, Onstar will at least know where I went in and not some diver on a training mission forty years later.

A cell phone can do much of this but requires more input on our part which is not always wise while driving.

I pushed that button one time-to get the free trial, haven't touched it since, so I guess that would be a No. but should I ever need it I guess it's comforting to know I am just a credit card away from assistance.

Never used it on any of my vehicles. I swapped the VCIM in my Yukon to get remote start via onstar, but still never really used it

I have it on, in my Tahoe and the wife's Cadillac. The cell phone will work in areas where my regular cell phone won't. I find it much easier to reach up and push the button for directions than using my iphone or the cars navigation.

That is why I am keeping it on..For now anyway.

I still do, more for the wife rather than myself, peace of mind for me when she is out and about.

Just use the app for remote start and even that is not that often. It would be great service to have if it wasn't so expensive.

You do not understand my level of cheapness when something doesn't seem like a good deal or excite me enough to want it.
