2010 OnStar Firmware Update
OnStar has been having trouble getting diagnostic reports from my car, which is not the point of this thread. In their attempts to get a vehicle diagnostic, they reprogrammed my OnStar unit. They just had me press the blue OnStar button and tech support reprogrammed it while the car sat in my driveway.
The new program seems to have added/improved a feature. The onboard phone book can now be used for bluetooth dialing. In the past I had to say "Bluetooth", "Voice", then my Android phone would prompt me to say "Call Joe Shmoe at home."
Now I can bluetooth call using the onboard phone book, which greatly reduces the number of voice commands. I can simply press the button and say "Call Joe Shmoe," where Joe Shmoe is a saved contact on my OnStar account. I can also say "Dial 800-555-1212."
Just a heads up for anyone that hadn't realized that the OnStar firmware has been updated.
