On-star capability to lock, unlock or perform diagnostics has to be built into the electronics of the car. The 9-5 Integrated Electronics system was not designed with On-Star in mind, or at least not that level of integration. At some time in the future, Saab may decide to add it to the 9-5, but it would require a redesign of the electronics.
In the old days, this was just adding a wire; nowdays with the computer bus systems, it's not so easy.
The 9-3 went through a pretty major overhaul, and that's why they were able to add On-Star integration.
