I can see it maybe being useful in an emergency, but that's about it. We have the analog system on our '03 9-5 SW and could care less. OnStar to me seems like technology for its own sake, or an answer to a question nobody asked. And besides, the shark fin gets in the way when I push snow off the roof.
If I need directions, I usually have a map. We have cell phones to call for help. It's pretty hard to lock yourself out of a Saab, so the remote unlock is more for Buick owners.
But for OnStar fans, I can't believe there isn't a way to convert the system. It's just that GM doesn't want to spend the money. Some enterprising engineers have an opportunity waiting for them.
