my friends has a 05 grand prix and when heis parked normal he can unlock way further away then i can,,, grrr

 

What is that thing that runs behind the driver's visor?

 

I think you're talking about the remote receiver too.

 

I have a 2001 SS with OffStar and have the small cell phone antenna. I removed the antenna long ago. It's just one more thing to get in the air stream. I also went into the trunk and disconnected all onstar equipment. Then about a year after I purchased the car, a sales rep called asking if I wanted to pay them $300 to get their service. I told them that I didn't want them tracking my car, and that I had disconnected all that equipment. He paused. He was dumbfounded that I would do such a thing. I ended the call. As you may be able to tell, I am unimpressed with their service. When I did have the trial service, I locked my keys in the car. I called onstar, expecting them to unlock the doors remotely. After trying for about 10 minutes, she couldn't do it. They dispatched a tech to jimmy the lock. It took him about 30 min to get it open. That was the last time I locked my keys in there.

 

My Onstar antenna fell off the back of the back window, bounced off my spoiler, and landed on the highway. I was tempted to go back for a split second but since it was rush hour I passed on that idea.

Hindsight says my car weighs less now and is more aerodynamic. =D

 

So far Onstar has been okay to me.

They've called twice now offering 100 minutes for $14.99 on the hands-free calling. I did take them up on the first offer. I've got till october, 2007 to use the minutes up.

They swear they don't track a vehicle till the customer requests it.

 

when i had onstar i never paid for the cell minutes i owuld just call and gripe about somthing and they would give me anoter 30 or 60 for free[sm=badbadbad.gif]
