Lol, the 2004 Suburban has OnStar installed whether you wanted it or not, the whole system is there and installed even if you have no button or interface. Chevy can shut down your truck from a satellite even if you swap the entire motor out, it's built into the ECU.
Only if they rebuild the 2G network. Kek.
That's not how that works.
What is the 2G network sunset and how does it affect my OnStar service?
As cellular carriers transition to 4G or 5G connectivity, vehicles using a 2G connection will lose OnStar service. In the U.S., most major network providers will complete the transition in December 2022. After the transition, 2G network connectivity will no longer be provided. The decision to sunset these networks was made by the wireless network providers and the need to upgrade to newer technology.
Certain GM vehicles on the road today currently leverage the 2G network for OnStar connectivity. Once the 2G network sunsets, the three-button interface in your vehicle will be deactivated.

So, technically, Onstar is still active in the 2004 Tahoe, but will be deactivated by December 2022. Anything 2003 and older is already deactivated.
And, you can also disable Onstar in older vehicles by replacing the factory stereo.
If that's not how it works, I'm all ears.
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.
Yeah, you just disconnect the wires as the ECU has no wireless capabilities. The On Star system has to receive and then send the signal to the ECU. Once the wires are cut no more signal. Not to mention the power supply to the On Star is also disconnected.
Yes, if you destroy the car's ability to drive and run the OnStar will stop working. Imagine that.
I'll list that under shit that doesn't happen when you disable On Star for $1000 Alex.
