Got a letter in the mail today from GM saying after Dec. 31, 2007, the OnStar system in my 2004 Saab 9-3 Convertible will no longer be operational. Apperently, OnStar is switching to an all digital system, so the all analog system in my 2004 won't work at all. Now that part that really bugs me is that they knew about the change in 2002, but still installed the all analog system. They made digital ready systems, but for some reason I didn't get that. And 2004 was the first year for my car!
2004! They knew since 2002!
But it's not like I depend on the system on a day to day basis, it's just really nice to know that there's somebody else there in case of an emergency.
And yes, I have used the emergency button. It was when I witnessed an accident, but I couldn't tell if anybody was injured, so instead of taking out my cell phone and dialing 911, I simply pushed the emergency button and instantly there was somebody on the line. I said there was an accident, which I was not involved in, and then they sent an ambulance and logged my info.
Yes, I know BMW has it's "SOS" or whatever, but I don't know much about that, and don't really trust it. It dosen't connnect right away. Does it call for airbag deployment or log crash data? Anybody know?
