Easy to disable, but if it's a 2007 model year GM car or newer, it's probably okay. The new Onstar is different, and better. Instead of basically talking to someone on the phone at Onstar, you get voice prompts much like the current navigations systems such as a Magellan.

I was considering disabling the Onstar as I wanted to install a better stereo/navigation system. However, my wife insisted I not do that because she doesn't want to lose the GPS locator and accident sensing feature, not to mention satellite lock out service.

The more I think about what we'll lose the more pissed I get!
