[QUOTE=blkssncpt;5055638]I'll try onstar again tomorrow aswell as maybe try having the cops contact them, it just pissed me off that they wouldn't contact me about my account ending soon...-RobQUOTE][/


i had my card #stolen that onstar has for the auto withdrawl, cancled the card and had called them when i got the new card gave that to them and a couple weeks later i hit the button cause i needed directions and they said ok we need to up date the card on file because it was declined. told them i did already, ended up having to do it again but i never got email,letter in the mail phone call saying it had been declined or no payment was made.

they deffinitly need to update their systems with some kind of notice if theres a payment issue of any kind. they should also be able to find the truck if the cops call them, its bs that as of yesterday they wouldnt help you out

Lo-jack wont stop them either the thieves know where they install it... On stars no better they just ditch the rear-view mirror and there not able to track it.. So if they want it there no way to stop them...

Got something like that in my 1995 Trans Am. Works awesome. best of all its local. meaning I just need a computer and internet and a active sim card in te unit and I can track real time or like a 2 second delay and and cut the engine.
Pretty straight forward to do just need to hide it. Mine has a mic and speaker so i can talk to the *** that stole it or the shop that taking it out to lunch

thanks guys, still no word on the truck :-/... i had been looking into a type of tracking system for vehicles, mainly for my datsun not the truck... this is what i was thinking about, recommended to me by another 510 owner since he has it on his vehicles and loves the system...

Aercept Mobile Asset Tracking Service

told me he's had it for a while and it works great, u can track the car live via a mobile smart phone app or on a pc, it'll tell u where the car is the speed it's traveling at and u can set perimeters of where the car can and can't go out of and as soon as it gets too close or leaves it ur phone is alerted... sounds petty awesome and maybe something i'll use on my next vehicle, iirc the guy said it was about $200 and like $20 a year for the service...
