I understand. But it's an awful lot of money for a questionable service. Ignoring the unpopularity of Saabs among thieves and the extremely difficult to steal design, I have been very unimpressed with OnStar's GPS accuracy. I've heard a few "horror" stories where OnStar has been no help whatsoever in finding stolen cars. It's also trivial for a thief to disable, and since it's standard on Saabs, any thief stealing a saab would disable it as soon as they stole the car. But just my humble opinions. The free year (or two as the case may be) is nice, but I wouldn't pay for OnStar. LoJack is a better option if you're worried about theft. As for air-bag deployment, I've also heard stories where it never did anything after a crash, but it would be a nice feature to have if it works.
