Can OnStar not be disabled?
My understanding is that you can choose not to pay for it and no longer “have” the service; but if GM or whomever is influencing GM wants to turn it back on without telling you they can. You’d have to physically remove it from the vehicle to prevent this from happening, or at least sever the wires connecting the antenna to the on-board computer.
From what I know and the article says user features can be turned off. However, the computer module in your car that OnStar is integrated with never goes off.
So actually, no.
Onstar can be disabled very quickly ,, this catches the stupid thiefs only.
