But if I could disconnect that bastard, I would.

I alway have to laugh when they sau they can track a stolen car. It works only if it is not too cloudy and the car is not put into a van or closed area.

Lojack is much better... working off FM.

Lojack here...Even my dealer told me thieves just gotta cut two wires by the mirror, and On-Star is worthless..

its very very easy.

1.open your glovebox

2.theres a wire on the right, pull it down and twist until it comes undone (can be a little tricky

3.push in the sides of the glovebox, and pull the entire glovebox out

4. above the where the glovebox was, theres a black panel with 5 torx (size15 torx) screws, unscrew those.

5. now you will see a silver box, that is it. unblug the maroon antenna wire, and thats it. No more communication to the onstar module

takes 30min maybe

No need, I'm sure they know all about it already.

Probably once On-Star realized who they were tracking they said, "What the hell were we thinking, anyway?"...lol

Eh, I don't care. We live in a technology filled world today with plenty of ways to track our moves. You are technically being monitored on this website right now because it's a public domain. Your cell phone is constantly tracking your coordinates and location too. Anyone who is surprised by all this is just uninformed.
You have nothing to worry about unless you're doing something illegal. Some of those guys transporting drugs from Mexico might have a legit reason to be worried though....
