YES, it does ! I suppose GM could increase their renewal rate of OnStar if they tied Bluetooth with OnStar. Bluetooth rocks.jstpsntym said:The main question I have is...Does the Bluetooth and hands free calling still work if Onstar is not active?
Thanks!

OK, what is the catch ? Will they automatically renew you after the 6 months is up ? Or are they trying to get you dependent on it so you "can't do without it" ?ChevyMgr said:You can get OnStar FREE for 6 months just by pushing the button and asking for it. You will also get entered into a car giveaway contest.
This is only good for people who's OnStar has expired and is in effect until May 31st.
Renewal is not automatic, but they do ask for your credit card number. I did this on my Malibu 3 days ago. They will also offer you 60 minutes of OnStar phone for $4.95. They are suppose to contact me 30 days prior to the expiration of the free 6 months. I have already set an alert on my phone, to notify me after 5 months.RIT333 said:OK, what is the catch ?

THX for the info. Again, great to have someone from the "inside" on the board. BTW - What happened to Tricia - did we burn her out with problems?
I entered the contest too. What GM vehicle costs $131K??ChevyMgr said:There will be Ten (10) Grand Prizes: Winners’ choice of only one Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac vehicle, the
estimated VRV of each prize vehicle not to exceed $131,681USD/$130,937CAD.
If you currently have onstar you can still enter the giveaway by pushing the onstar button.

Bluetooth works exactly the same with or without OnStar. Infact if you don't have any OnStar phone min's there is one less step in making a bluetooth call.Superboy95 said:While it's true you don't need to subscribe to On* for the BT to work, I remember reading somewhere else in this forum that the BT hardware is in both the stereo head unit and the On* VCIM unit. So if you're a paranoid type, disconnecting the VCIM could disable BT. Just a thought.
Wasn't referring to the service. Was referring to the On* unit in the car. Some people don't like having the thing connected because they fear Big Brother is watching their every move or something.43sbest said:Bluetooth works exactly the same with or without OnStar.

If "big brother" wants to watch me have at it--------------not much to watch unless going back and forth to Wal-Mart and Sam's is on the covert activity list!!!!!Superboy95 said:Wasn't referring to the service.
