How do you disable OnStar?

[Desert Dan]

can't you just call they and have it turn off?

[MarineHawk]

If you do that, one of the hovering OnStar unmanned Predator drones will just drop a Sidewinder Missile on your location.

After reading some documentation on OnStar, if you disable and/or remove it... your vehicle is automatically reported stolen. You better be careful.

All you have to do is take it (the on star module) out of the dash and unplug everything. You can then put it back or put something like a DVD player in its place. That's where I had a 7" fold out monitor in my old truck. I never had a problem and no one called me to say it was stolen. Mine was not active at the time. If you have it activated call and have them de-activate it first.

Speaking of OnStar, a buddy who works for the local police dept. said one day they got a call from a woman that her husband's Hummer was missing. OnStar located the vehicle at another address and the police surrounded the home where it was at.

They were surprised when the husband came running out barely dressed to see what was going on.

Turns out he was having an affair and his wife tricked the system to locate him. Not sure what happened to her charges-wise.

Pull the dash off. Grab the silver box behind the controls. Unplug and remove then shoot it. I have a barrett .50 cal will usually do the job. Damn commies will never take me alive! Those are the steps i actually did. No problems for over a year.

Ummm....maybe im missing somthing here, but all you guys needed to do is pull the onstar fuse.
