Hey All,

01 SSei car. Does anyone know if On Star still reports data even though you don't subscribe to the service any longer? I just read an article that On Star has been selling data to insurance companies who are using it to increase insurance rates. Yikes! :shocked:

Your 01 is analog and the system does not operate even if you wanted it. I think you're safe.

Thanks Haro....

So did they change to a digital system on OnStar and by doing so basically cancelled my onboard satellite ability? If so I wonder how many older cars they disabled....

In my case it's not a big deal because I dropped coverage when the 1 free year was over. I had wondered, though, if my HUD used GPS to calculate speed.....

Analog OnStar Ends Jan. 1, 2008

Your HUD pulls speed data from the PCM, just like the instrument cluster.
