Can someone please tell me what kind of phone will work with the Camaro's OnStar system? I'm about to change plans and want to get the right one.

I use my iPhone with the Bluetooth connectivity and I love it. I don't even have to take my phone out of my pocket to answer and place calls. They have the onstar app for the iphone as well, but I don't use it as much as I thought I would.

You mean bluetooth or actual onstar?

I believe for on-star you have to add the number assigned to your car to your service and it is only with verizon last I remember.

As far as bluetooth, i havent had any issues with any phone that has bluetooth.

eggydoo & boilermaker, thanks - I want to be able to do the remote things like check mileage and gas level, so I mean the phone app. Yes, and use the phone over bluetooth in the car as well. Sounds like an iphone is the way to go? Would a Droid work too?

eggydoo · 04-22-2011, 12:35 PM

droid has the app...just checked...i never bothered to install it.
I'll try it now and let you know how it goes...

I use an older LG with Bluetooth. Works fine as long as the two devices can "see" each other via the Bluetooth search.

Bluetooth works fine for me.

I have the App on my Droid. Works ok. It's slow and OnStar is going to expire soon though and I don't intend on renewing it.

Works on Iphones, Ipod Touches and Most Android Powered phones.

I have a Droid 2 and the app works perfect on it.

Vegas Synergy · 04-23-2011, 06:15 PM

droid incredible works for sure. i have one. works bluetooth (which most do) and OnStar. i think the OnStar app is more an issue of the 2011 than it is the phone...as long as it's a smart phone.
