OnStar + Camaro = Win Today
My keyless/remote start in the Camaro tends to act a little funky when it gets really cold. Today while I was getting fuel, with my keys in the ignition and my phone in the Camaro, it decided to lock itself. Awesome. It's icing outside and really coming down, and I was just like...
So I couldn't use my phone app to unlock it or my keys. I ran into the gas station and asked to use their phone and called OnStar. 2 minutes later, my car was unlocked!! Just had to share. OnStar just paid for itself! And actually I got it for free thanks to State Farm. Check it out if you have State Farm and your OnStar is expired!

I have State Farm. I don't get Onstar free but they reduce my rates because of Onstar. Enough to pay for Onstar!

Free will work though. Thanks for the tip! Maybe that's the gimmick? It's not really free but it is if your rates don't change? I still need to look this up...

How did you get it free through State Farm? I dropped OnStar partly because the SF discount (literally $3.50 per six months) was a joke.

In my case I don't drive my car more than 2500 miles in 6 months so I get a good discount on ins.

I sometimes get forgetful in stressful times. So I've locked my keys in the car maybe 4 or 5 times in the year and a half I've had it. Last time was at my bank and I didn't have my phone. Same as you, dialed, they confirmed it was me, it was unlocked by the time I walked outside.
I'm happy to have the service. Cheaper and faster than a locksmith 3 or 4 times a year.
