An extraordinary new service called OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics is now included in your OnStar subscription. Hundreds of checks can be run automatically and reported to you by e-mail every month. The technology is already in your vehicle. To turn it on, all you have to do is sign up.
It's all automatic. All at no extra cost.
About every 30 days, OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics will check your vehicle while you drive and send you an e-mail report. It includes information on:
The condition of your engine, air bag, antilock brake, and OnStar systems
Your current mileage, remaining oil life, and scheduled maintenance alerts
The status of your OnStar subscription and the OnStar Hands-Free Calling minutes in your vehicle
If you don't sign up, you're missing a great OnStar advantage.
Get the most out of your OnStar service. Sign up today, and we'll run your first diagnostic checkup tomorrow. See for yourself what your vehicle can do.

For those of you who used your OnStar Vehicle Diagnostic check back in 2005, Do you still use it, and if not, why?

Good question,.HERHMR. Glad you brought this old thread back to the top.
I just signed up with my new H3. Seems pretty cool now. Will I think it's worthless in a year? Let's see what the older owners say.

Quite honestly, I don't see the function for myself... however, I can see it for other drivers out there who does little to nothing to "check" their cars.
It's better than nothing IMO.

I've had the OnStar set up for five months now and like it. I don't really need the diagnostics but it's nice to see, especially since I'll probably take advantage of the oil life system vs. changing every 3K or 5K miles. (I know there are LOTS of opinions on this but I'm going to let my synthetic oil do its job.) I tried the Directions and Connections for a couple of months. It's a great service if you usually need directions. I know Phoenix well so I don't need them but when I was in LA the directions were invaluable. I just wish the H3 radio showed the written directions like the radios or information centers do in many other GM cars.
So, I'm not keeping the $100/year Directions Package (available for $9.95/mo) but I think I'll keep OnStar. I like it for the roadside assistance, door unlocking (ya never know), safety aspect like if my airbags go off, and vehicle recovery abilities (yes, we have discussions on this too but it's still not a bad thing even if there are better options).
I'm also keeping 100 or so minutes in OnStar calling available with the greater range of the OnStar cellular antenna. I've been in remote place where my cell phone couldn't make a call but the OnStar phone could. I think it's a nice safety factor especially in the wide open spaces of the Southwest.

Depending on your phone carrier, you can have your phone connected to your car phone, so your car phone runs on your cellular account and uses up cellular minutes.
Thats what I do and it's working great, so if I need to call somone and I dont have my cell, I just use the car phone.

I have that too, it is nice. Its thru verizon and you need the family share plan. To add the onstar its an additional $10 a month
