[TPR] ON STAR of OFF STAR???? Shared from Laurie

Tue Mar 19 06:49:50 PDT 2024

I still have book dealership gave new car buyers.  Book maybe 300 pages.  Driving hints & maps of entire USA.  80% words.  A few rough drawn maps of roads.
It was from Grandpa's days selling cars in 1930's!!!

I never saw a Thomas map.  In far Upper NY, maps were all Rand McNally.  (He lived near there)
Or Dad's AAA Tour books!!  He had a drawer full!!!

And yet with all the new technology they still can't figure out how to get there. Here kid hold on to this Atlas and figure out where we are.

We purchased a used Jeep Grand Cherokee back in the 2000’s.  No on-star, private sale.

We started getting the recall notices to our name and address.  I believe Ford was pulling registration information from the state.

We have two new vehicles.
A GMC Sierra & Buick Enclave.
I get info from GM about oil changes & such.
I find it disturbing...always did!!
Heard my whole life:

"BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING!"

I do not subscribe to On Star services, never did.
But I get those reports anyway.

Guess I'll ck & see what it takes to Turn OFF On-Star completely.
As I said: I was NEVER a paying customer.
Yet I get reports....so there's some hidden communication!!

Although our younger society of engineers and graduates preach about environmental sustainability, but the Cars produced today seem to last much longer if driven, but when they are done, they are throw aways, just like most anything else produced today. All we can do is put up with them as long as we can and throw them away and hope their tracking devices will create the data of waste.

Thanks for sharing again. A Good reminder Laurie thst these electronics do not last long in heat and Socal is hot… as amazing as the electronics are in the new cars it is a reminder your mechanicals will probably outlast the electronics.

 If JB doesn't know the answer to your question or is traveling  I am sure ASA does know. And so will your extended warranty!

Dennis who still hasn’t figured out half the electronics on the C8.

Haha

Still some disadvantages with older cars.  Two days ago my hybrid Lincoln MKZ had warning light on that Anti-lock brake system on.. and brake warning light too.  When trying to stop it really wasn't responsive and took much longer to stop.  Turned off and on and gone.  But next time starting happened again.  Good thing I have an extended warranty but we'll see how that goes. Anyone electronically skilled know why that would occur?  Only 41k miles on that car although it's a 2012.

No surprises there. No doubt evidence would be used to deny claims.

One more reason to keep the Pantera or any old car.

JB, as our resident team expert on electronics  did you go back to points and condenser on your yella beast?

And is the MSD ignition a transmitter?
