And record you
I put a pice of duct tape over the video sensor that is “supposed” to notice when you are falling asleep at the wheel. It’s a lease for our company.
I used to work as a service writer at GM during college, OnStar has been able to shut down cars since 1997.
The difference is that those old onstar units are functionally safe now since they shut down the 3g they were reliant on to function. And it doesn't take much to disable the connectivity to it just in case.
It pays to know the limitations of the hardware you have.
The connectivity is two way, in Dec. 2022 the "up" is getting severed for all 2G onstar, but "down" will still function. You can't contact OnStar without an upgrade, but they can still contact your vehicle.
Then unplug the antenna. That will significantly cut it's range.
On Star even promoted that feature nearly a decade ago about stopping a police chase.
