How tuff would it be to do this install and fix myself if I don't want to deal with these people?

The only problem I have with OnStar is that if you call someplace that has an automated system you're f(_)cked. There's NO way to enter numbers.

You can get a small push button tone dial unit at Radio Shack. Hold it near the mike and dial the number you need.

Good idea, but wish there was a slide out key pad like in the 745.

Here are the SKUs of Radio Shacks items:
SKU/Catalog # Model Description 43-139 43-141 43-142 43-143 43-144 43-145 Pocket Tone DIaler 43-145A Pocket Tone DIaler 43-146 43-165 43-182 43-192

You might do a web search for a better unit. I have seen some very small ones used by Ham operators on old radios that didn"t have tone pad built in.

Definately....But we're talking about GM here, that little pad will probably come out by the time Lexus is offering "mind dialing" where you just think of a place and the car will automatically call it....(I could just see DRTY's phone log...Strip club....strip club....porn shop....strip club...)

CHill, that is the funniest post I've read in a long time.

Thanks much Klaus and Paragon!
