OnStar is expanding on its Stolen Vehicle Assistance services with the announcement of a new technology that will give law enforcement another critical tool to help safely and quickly recover subscribers stolen vehicles. This new technology is called Remote Ignition Block and will allow an OnStar Advisor to send a remote signal to a subscriber's stolen vehicle to prevent the vehicle from restarting once the ignition is turned off.

Looks like I might keep that service subscription after the 1-year "trial" runs out...

How much does OnStar cost to have?

Thanks for the info, Scott..........

only issue is that if the robbers trash your car do you want it back...you'd have to notice it quickly...

if they trash it you'd be better off if they took your vehicle out of state and you get a brand new one payed for by insurance

That's why I'm here

I don't see much news about the car anymore.....except for all the awesome aftermarket items. Makes me want to go to work for Mr. Hennessey!

that is good stuff Scotty you know about everything

Blakout · 07-29-2009, 04:50 PM

I'd be stupid to not use the OnStar the car comes with after I get it, after paying so much money for the car itself. Looks like the new feature will be available with the cheaper Safe N Sound plan. I don't need the Directions + Connections because I already have a cell phone that does exactly that. It's worth the money for $300 a year..

How long do you think it would take a robber to disengage the OnStar system in your car, rendering it useless? Is it something as simple as cutting a wire or is it pretty much unstoppable and fully integrated into the car?

What if the criminal leaves the car running? Any way they can make the car stall out if the criminal decides to try and leave the car running to avoid something like this?

That's great. Now all the criminals have to do is figure a way to disconnect ONSTAR from power.

Or cut the battery cables and tow it.

wrong, onstar has a short term power supply, if i'm not mistaken. disconnect doesn't help the bad guys. these days, you need a towtruck, and concrete bunker to hide it in.

Cool .....but I don't think I would want it back after a thug deflower it.
