Do you have OnStar service?

Well it came free with my car, but I never renewed it and the salesman was extremely rude

My parents have it. Dad loves it, but I’ve never heard him give one example that my phone can’t do. I think he uses it as an excuse to have WiFi on the road.

I had a free trial when I got my car but didn’t use it.

My phone can do pretty much everything I need

Not Onstar, but Subaru Starlink. I dont really have it for the emergency services, but if there is an emergency, I will be glad to have it. I have it so I can remote start my car and lock/unlock the doors from my phone.

I have it and I love it. I travel frequently and use the navigation all the time. I have not had to use the roadside assistance but knowing it's there is worth the cost to me. In a couple of years I won't be traveling nearly as much and will probably cancel it.

My mother had it in her GMC.  A year or so ago she got a Honda CRV, which doesn't have OnStar.  She doesn't understand why Hondas don't and can't get OnStar.  She just assumed that it would have it.  I try to explain to her that she can do just about any of those functions with her phone and/or the navigation on her CRV.  

I think the only thing I've heard her say that Honda can't do is that once she told OnStar that she wanted directions to Kohls and they sent a coupon to her phone.  

It's very expensive we've never renewed after the trail period. When I got my Lincoln the sales guy was getting me to set up some things and I said don't waste our time because I won't pay for whatever your OnStar is after the free trail runs out. He replies it's always free, you never pay for it for the life of your vehicle 😮 Oh ok, let's set it up then.

This is why I have Bluelink for my Hyundai.  I have a phone, I have AAA, but in winters here - I need to remote start my car!

I can do this with my Chevy too. If this is because I pay for OnStar, then there's another reason I have it. But I think that's a free feature through the Chevrolet app if your vehicle is equipped? I really don't know for sure...

My parents had it and it was well worth it. You would not believe how many times OnStar had to unlock the car door because my Dad had locked the keys inside (or lost them in a pocket).

I have a 20 year old Honda Civic LX (which I adore   ) and OnStar didn't exist back when my car was made. 

I love my car and don't want to trade it in for a newer one-it was made in Japan, has 110,000 miles on it, manual transmission (which I prefer) and wishbone suspension-hugs those curves like a much more expensive car. 

I have an amazing GPS system that I plug into my (what used to be a cigarette lighter, forgot what it's called now) and it gets me anywhere I need to go. 

It's very difficult to lock my keys in the car and it's something I haven't done in 20 years. Knock wood. 

And lastly, I don't have to pay anyone a monthly fee. 

Will your iPhone contact emergency services if you are in a crash and unconscious?

We have the equivalent on our cars (Audi/Mercedes/Lexus) and I won't be without it. When DD was in college she was rear-ended at a stop light. I happened to be talking to her (via bluetooth) when it happened. I heard the crash and immediately heard the car dial Mercedes MBrace. They called the police who arrived on the scene in less than 5 minutes. Fortunately DD was fine but the car was totaled. That one incident made the annual fee we pay worth it to us. All the extra bells and whistles are nice, but for us it is about the safety & security features. I also like that if I ever felt I was in danger I could reach up in my Lexus and hit the SOS button.

I live in a rural area and am directionally challenged. I've had it in my last 3 trucks and will always have it. I use it the most for the navigation/directions. WAY easier and safer than pulling it up on a phone. Have also used it to ask for directions to the nearest gas station when traveling, as well as a hotel or restaurant and they make the reservation for you. Really nice for when you lock your keys in the car (my truck won't lock with the keys in the ignition, but I have a habit of pulling them out just enough to make the beeping stop, and then getting out and locking the door.) Only used the emergency button one time, when I was taking my son's fiance to the hospital in the middle of the night for an asthma attack and she quit breathing.
