[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3837894, member: 15054"] I read this. Speaking to [I]GM Authority,[/I] a spokesperson said making customers pay for the service will "enhance [their] vehicle ownership experience... By including this plan as standard equipment on the vehicle, it provides more customer value and a more seamless onboarding experience." The automaker confirmed to [I]AN [/I]that buyers who don't activate OnStar and have no desire to use the services will not be offered a discount. The subscription, which enables things like using your phone as a key fob, data-enabled navigation, audio streaming, and Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant. I HATE HATE HATE new vehicles. I can't say that loud enough. I hate some of the things on the wife's 2007 Vibe as it locks the doors when you put it in gear and has the headlights on all the time. I hate door and key buzzers and anything else that comes on automatically. I love cars but i want to control all of it. I do not want warnings in my mirror or my steering wheel to shake if I am close to a road line. Thank goodness I drive older stuff with regular keys. I still do not own a cell phone and hope I never will. Good day :) [/QUOTE]
