You are right about the rights and privilege thing. Bu i still believe that sometimes there isn't anything you can do about it.
In this case maybe you can upgrade the onstar in your 2010.

Onstar currently can NOT stop nor start an engine.
They CAN currently disengage the starter so it won't start and they CAN reduce the flow of gas though the fuel pump to limit the speed of the car. This NOT just a software issue, it is a hardware issue as well as the current hardware is NOT connected nor set up to do this. You can issue software updates all you like but until the hardware is physically connected to the devices the commends go to, the commends will do NOTHING. |

^ What's what I was basically saying. What's the difference between hardware and software anyway? Don't want to get off topic though.

GPS tracking to within 50 yards sound the alarm/honk the horn tell you if your tire pressure is low Lock/Unlock your vehicle remotely I would be happy with these app features. Anyone else? Can someone copy and paste this to the onstar facebook page. I'm sure most people would be happy with these features on a phone app.

Software is a computer program that tells the hardware what to do. |

Oh it makes sense, HARDware is well, hard and a physical thing. Software is well, not hard. That's just how i'll remember it.

writing the software DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD if the items arent actually connected to the system in such a way that they can be controlled (starter, for example... if it's not interfaced to OnStar, it does no good to give OnStar programming for the starter.) |

Several people who (unlike those of us who have direct hardware and software design experience with the Verizon Cellular Module) defend the position of GM have so far parroted the "They say it needs Gen 9 hardware, so we KNOW that they are telling the truth" commentary. I say the burden of proof lies with OnStar to get one of their masterminds here to explain to us why the Gen 8 hardware is incapable of this functionality. I guarantee you they will never give an explanation because there is none. |
