So I recently found out that our 2006-07 Montes are qualified for 3 FREE months of onstar, if you dont want it after that, just cancel. Its $16 a month for the safe and sound package, which basically if you get in an accident or break down its worth it. But its free, and im planning on traveling to TX in the next month so I guess its not a bad thing. Just thought I would let everyone know if you didnt already.

 

Got it.

$24 a month Canadian.. 06 Montes do NOT have the turn by turn directions feature!

When I purchased my 06 I was given 1 year free subscription and now am currently being charged around $18.50 ( I guessthats the tax added price)a month for the continued access of my Safe and Sound plan.

 

My 06 LTZ, ON Star was free for a year,
16.99 a month
for
34.99 a month you can get turn by turn.
Since I dont travel to much I dont think turn by turn is really needed for double the cost
It would be cheaper to get a GPS system
Once you pay for the base GPS system you dont have no monthly bills to use it.

 

Only on the 07

 

My '06 is past it's 1 year free Onstar. But I let it stay at $16,99/month.

I can't swear it's true or not but the lovely Onstar lady told me if I ever get lost, call them. No mention of a price but I doubt it's free?

 

Hmm.. good question.. From what Ive experienced the onstar staff are pretty good.

 

Three months? I got mine free for a year? I had the XM free for three months

 

Get.... Lost? As in not know where u are?

What is this concept? Isn't the answer always there, in a map?

Lmao, sorry guys, I just can't help butgawk at the ppl that pay all that money for a GPS...

I mean not that it isn't a worthy investment for like a limo driver or something, but when simple directions and a 4$ map can suffice... I guess I just don't see the need. What a map or mapquest.com can't do... google earth can.. gives you a birds eye view, so you know exactly what to look for.

I guess safe and sound wouldn't be a bad idea if it actually came with the diagnostics, but I don't think it does. Plus the idea of them always having the finger on my car's location makes me a bit uneasy.

Mainly for the accident reporting thing I guess. If I'm out of it they can still call the EMS...
