ON Star is quite expensive for what you get. Their basic plan is $16.95 =
a month, and it goes up from there depending upon what services you =
want. Since it is basically a cell phone service, that means you have =
the same issues and problems you have with any other cell phone based =
service. My cell phone company offers a basic service for $9.95 a month =
that gives you 30 minutes of anywhere anytime calling, and most cell =
companies have a basic plan like that, usually including a free or low =
cost phone when you sign up.
Also, with On Star, you are pretty much stuck with the factory stereo, =
since it runs the system. If it breaks, you have to buy another one =
from the dealer. All in all, onstar adds quite a bit at purchase, and =
also costs more per month than a standard cell phone. In addition, you =
have to have a portable cell phone to really take advantage of several =
of the services, like remote door unlocking.

We are probably going to have to get another vehicle. We're thinking =
of getting one with the On Star System. Does anyone out there have it or =
use it? What do you think of it? We don't have cell phones (personal =
choice) but we're concerned about contact in the event we need help when =
we're out caching.
