It is a system developed by GM for use in cars on the US market. OnStar is an old analog cellular phone combined with an GPS receiver. The system makes it possible for the driver to push a button and ask the OnStar helpdesk for the nearest hamburger place, call for help if he runs out of fuel, or call for help if he leaves the road unintentionally. The OnStar system will, sometimes, also call for help if the airbags are used. The use of the system is free the first year, but cost money for the following years. The OnStar hardware has also stolen the connector that Saab intended the user to use for their own mobile phone. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com
