What I am really objecting to is the invasion of my privacy. Let them make the ONstar an order option. Then each customer could decide if they want it. No they could not do that. They instead decided that they would hard sell something that they could generate a monthly income out of. The really sad part is most Americans don't even see that they are giving up little bits of their privacy for supposed benefits. Most of the services are things that you already can do with excising technology.

Another angle on this is that it make the vehicle more complicated. So as it ages then the odds are greater that you will have an issue. How many ten year old cars still have all of the power windows or seats still working???

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
