| said by Network Guy  :I remember the announcement, and I don't even have onstar. Some people need to read tablois every once in a while. GM did announce this, and any number of GM customers are still waiting for GM to get their act together and resolve their issues as to WTH they are doing to finish this upgrade.
I was informed in August, by standard mail, that I could/should bring my car in and get the OnStar unit upgraded for $275. It was a same day in and out deal at any GM dealership.
I have a 2002 Bravada with 24K miles on it. None of the 4 local GM dealerships have managed to figure out what they need to do to upgrade it. The vehicle model is discontinued, but the OnStar unit is no different than any other of that manufacture period.
I only use that SUV in bad winter weather, and I travel a lot of remote roads. I can pick up a cell with OnStar when my cell phone(s) fail, and it initiates a 911 activation if the airbags deploy.
As a retired medic, I have a liking for OnStar, as I have pulled a lot of folks out of cars in ditches, etc. that might not have been found alive had OnStar not activated.
At this point, it would seem likely that my vehicle will not get properly upgraded. GM has the $275 that they required from me to even order "the parts", and I have put in a complaint to the GM rep. Guess I will see what happens next.
