99% useless IMHO

If you get in an accident on an empty road and the airbags deploy, OnStar notifies the police. What is the real probability of this happening? Can you say virtually zero?
If you somehow lock yourself out of the car, OnStar can unlock the doors, assuming you have the number to call and a phone handy.
OnStar doesn't seem to have any value, IMHO. I have GPS in my phone, can read a map, have only locked my keys in a car once in 30 years, and that was a rental.
We had OnStar for a year on our CPO 9-5. Came with the car. Never even thought to use it, or had any reason to. Waste of money to pay for it. All flash, no substance. A nanny for people who shouldn't be allowed out without an escort.
Just my $0.02
