Um, no. You cannot just undo the box. tried it. For 2012, there are 2 connectors, 1 antenna, and the fuse. You disconnect all of them and take the box out? You get a trouble light. The fuel pump is routed through. More and more, things are all routed together, either for cost effectiveness or to just make it harder for you to turn things off. How odd. You are almost forced to have a service you don't want or need. And if you opt out (pull the fuse / antenna ) you lose another service (blue tooth) haha.. You can't just disconnect the antenna, because it still works. I still got (even though I SPECIFCALLY told the Onstar rep I wanted to opt out / cancel /etc ) a monthly report with ALL of my details. I just pulled the fuse and took the antenna off. So far, no more reports. So I assume it is not working.

Onstar is just a cell phone. You all know how well your cell phone works when you really need it. 50 - 50 chance. I know all about cell service as I was a tech for 3 years. Its only as good as your signal. But one thing it is really good at is tracking. That always works because you are at some point close to a tower for a brief moment to snag your stats. In a ditch far out of town? Good luck.

Also, for the people who have to come on and whine about others saying negative things, boo hoo. Life is not all roses. Did you not figure that out yet? If you don't like someone's negative opinion, you simply can choose not to read it. -Just as easy as you beg others not to post, you see?

If you feel your information is worthless and don't mind being tracked, that is fine. You are lifes perfect victim and corps LOVE your mindset! Being one who has worked in the info world, I've seen it all. All of it. Your whole life in the hands of other people, and some who you wouldn't trust to take your garbage out. But I'm sure you don't care about that, do you, hahaha.. ;-)
