Out with OnStar, in with Sprint PCS

[PARAGON]

The product from uhlelectronics.com does not do away with onstar, it allows your cell phone to work with and in the same manner as the onstar does in your vehicle, so you still have the "backup."

I will have to give onstar my praise now though. My family (wife, 2 YO daughter, 4 month old German Shepard) went to our land this weekend that is someout out in the "boonies." I took the keys out of the ignition and laid them on the console. My wife got out on her side and we both closed our doors. Somehow the vehicle got locked with my daughter and dog inside.

We called onstar and gave them our info and pin number, they told us to leave the vehicle alone for at least 10 minutes as they tried to send it a signal. There was some concern it wouldn't work because of where we were. After about 5 minutes, we heard the doors unlock and the phone we had called from immediately rang. It was onstar checking to see if it had worked.

This save me some headaches of breaking the glass to get in and the cost of replacing the glass. So, I like that part of the onstar system, but fault GM for not putting a system that will allow you to add an aftermarket removable phone.
