What OnStar officially states is that any cars with OnStar analog components (and that's all current 9-5s, 9-3s, will have zero OnStar after December 31, 2007. So New Year's Day, 2008, theoretically, the OnStar button will be useless. (Sorry for the confusion- an OnStar customer service person earlier said it was New Year's day 2007- that is INCORRECT. ) As you said, it sucks.
I guess it sucks for GM/OnStar too. They developed the system based on analog technology long before the Feds changed the rules to digital-only communications.. so GM is loosing I would assume, hundreds of thousands subscribers after the begining of 2008.
