@bmfk is right — the FMV mirror only offers:
– roadside assistance
– stolen vehicle location assistance
– hands-free calling
– turn by turn navigation
– automatic crash response
If one wants the full OnStar experience like the RemoteLink app (with remote start, remote door lock/unlock, and vehicle information) as well as the vehicle health report, a GM vehicle with OnStar is the only way to go.
@Babersher For me, the value added by OnStar isn’t a “main virtue”, but it’s definitely a significant point of differentiation; for instance, when I had my Cruze, I used the RemoteLink app every day to remote start the car in the mornings and evenings.
