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.
The antenna is hard wired into the frame, it's not that simple.
Didn't say remove, just disconnect. You disconnect the onstar unit from it's antenna at the plug, shouldn't that cut the range significantly?
