Have you replaced the stock 8-track or tinted the hatchback glass? Both have been known to effect the OnStar system.

No doubt a company detected failing IMS, the first thing they do is disconnect your phone.

Might be a while, some of upper management is still making their way back from Robbie Douglas's funeral. Pontiac provided all the cars for that show but apparently the good doctor didn't mind.

I heard back from Porsche . Apparently OnStar was not an option on earlier boxsters . Gee, the tech at Sears Automotive Center told me that the button one the center console was for OnStar . Oh well, they did a great job of replacing the IMS bearing for me anyway.

That was special order for Johnny that's why first gear has an R or "retry" right next to it.
