General Information

The OnStar(R) service offers customers unique communication, navigation, security, and customer assistance features. These are made possible by the national cellular telephone infrastructure, the Global Position System (GPS), the OnStar(R) Call Center and the vehicle installed OnStar(R) equipment. The vehicle installed equipment will be referred to as the Vehicle Communication Platform (VCP). The VCP includes a cellular telephone, cellular data modem, and the GPS receiver.

This equipment requires a data and/or voice interface with the OnStar(R) Center to provide any services. A monthly service fee is charged for OnStar(R) services, similar to the billing arrangement used by cellular telephone carriers or cable TV operators. This fee includes all cellular air time charges.
