If my car were to be stolen my first call would be to the cops to get them on the road and the report started, second to Onstar to getthe location and kill the engine, then I or Onstar would call back the cops and provide them with that info.
I just wish I could pay a yearly fee and keep this feature only, I have no use for the navigation.

This isn't exactly the order it's done but close. You first have to report the car stolen to the police then you have to call Onstar and tell them that your car has been stolen and that you have filed a police report. Onstar will then cooperate with the police to locate the car. If the car is on the road and someone is driving, Onstar will not turn off the fuel pump until the police let them know that the car has come to a stop or is traveling at a safe speed in safe conditions to do so.
