Hmmm, thats some pretty cool stuff if you have a GM with Onstar. But if you didn't do this hack that kinda sucks you can't access any of the information without calling Onstar and going through the hassle of all that was explained.

Re:convert onstar
 

that would be pretty cool if you already owned a vehicle w/on-star. However if you dont have on-star: these days you can buy serial or PCMCIA GPS units for sub 50 bucks.

Re:convert onstar
 

yeah but if you get it out of a salvage yard for $10 itsa deal.

Re:convert onstar
 

Yes indeed good sir. ;) Will this work on Hondas? Or is it exclussivly for GM products?

Re:convert onstar
 

I dunno dude.. looks like theres a lot more to it.. i mean ---- look at all the mess of wiring harness on it. also according to the article it sayz there a idiot light on the dash that goes red/green?! Just seems like a big pita if the vehicle isnt originally equiped :)

I use my PCMCIA GPS all the time, esp in my PocketPC. I have pocket streets which is pretty eleet when travelling.

Not saying it couldnt be done, but theres a limit to even my thriftyness

Re:convert onstar
 

Hey i wonder if you can hook that up in your honda and if your car does get jacked i wonded if there would be a way track it somehow just like the on-star people do...?

Re:convert onstar
 

Yeah, but by the time I'd track down my stolen car, that fucker would be running down the street with the Onstar computer trying to sell it for crack ???
