Subject: Re: Onstar Volume problem


Thanks for that Spyderman. It's ood to get some real feedback rather than just he marketing blurb on the website. I kind of get the feeling you're not a happy chappie! ;-) Far more to the point, I am indeed concerned about hooking up a carphone, and frankly if OnStar gets in the way then it can quickly get back out of the way and back onto the options list where it belongs! Oh, and assuming us Brist get screwed Dollars for Pounds the way the things normally get thrown across the pond, £900 is ridiculous money for the amount I'd ever consider using it. Pah.
