Your average $200 gps, or smart phone app, blows onstar out of the water.

Bluetooth and your own cell phone will always be better than the lousy prepaid onstar service that is tied to one car.

For $3/month verizon will unluck any door, provide fuel, and tow 10 miles any car that my phone is next to. AAA will provide better service than onstar for $91 a year.

I have yet to hear one story where automatic crash response worked where a person was unable to dialing 911. I am not paying $200 per car per year for an occurrence that is less likely than 2 lightning strikes or winning the lottery.

The only places that cell phones do not work, are the same places onstar has little chance of working. Desert back roads, mountainous areas, deep valleys, metal building.

I would rather my car stayed stolen and my insurance cuts me a check, than get a car back that was beaten to ##@@!!#$!
