Onstar

GM says Onstar will be in every vehicle they sell from now on... not sure when that goes into effect but thats a reminder for people who didnt want the on-star side curtain combo you are being left out.... or you got lucky

Onstar takes about 3 seconds to disable.

You have to break into it to disable it which would tell them that someone broke into it and then disabled it and with how many cobalt ss's will be out they have a god shot at getting caught... but i didnt post that to argue about onstar i was just being informative

I wasn't trying to be argumentative. Sorry I was just stating that for people that really didn't want Onstar and having strangers being able to track them whenever. But that's just me.

You don't. You can get side curtain air bags without having to get onstar.

You can't get onstar without the side curtain air bags however.

Yeah but your cell phone is not going to call someone when you are unable to. The accident/airbag detection, I think, is well worth the extra cash.
