No remote unlock in a Saab with OnStar, but..... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Hands-free install: Triad vs. cutting off OnStar, Just Dave, Mon, 23 Dec 2002 12:00:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Sorry, but there's an asterisk on that feature in the OnStar literature. OnStar can flash the lights and honk the horn on a Saab, but no remote unlocking or remote diagnostics.
And OnStar is always in range of the satellite. It doesn't use the local cell towers, but instead broadcasts and receives from the satellites above so your always in range with OnStar.
And can you trust passers by to accurately describe the location? With OnStar they know where the call is coming from on a GPS system, exactly and precisely, so they can dispatech help to the correct location.
If you've got 6 months of free OnStar left, call 'em and establish Personal Calling and try it out. $15 will get you 30 minutes of cellular phone service that last 60 days. I think 100 minutes is only $25. The car will have it's own phone number, the phone works everywhere, there's no roaming or long distance and there's no installation charge, it's already in place.
