They do not offer incoming call noe turn by turn directions and they say nothing about help if your airbags are deployed or if you need medical services. I also didn't see where they offer anything that you couldn't get with a vehicle diagnostic report emailed to you every month letting you know the status of your vehicle. I think that I will stick with what I know works. another thing is the onstar phone service, it is integrated into your satelite antenna and will work in places that some cell phones do not or where there is a lack of cell towers, so for you folk who think that bluetooth is the answer tell me how you use it when there is no signal? I can still use my onstar phone. Please know the facts before bashing a tested and proven system.

Is it easy the same way to swap out the Analog to Digital module on those Acura. Audi etc etc....Please let me know. Thanks Garrett,
