Nope...I kept it for the first year, then yanked it to use the space for CB/carpc components. I fabbed a blank plate out of the OnStar bezel to cover the opening.

also is there a way to make onstar a speaker phone for our cell phones?
(ie my father can talk on the phone when driving by pushing a button on his car stereo- given it isnt onstar but i am just asking if it has the ability like that)

Yep...GM part number 15200468.
