[QUOTE="ddgermann, post: 133738, member: 3537"] Onstar will pull info out of the car parked inside. It can and will use the cellular connection to do so if a satellite connection is not available. Actually an onstar Rep told me it uses cellular as default for this activity. This is not the same as your software updates to the system which uses WIFI either in your car, mobile phone or from your house if you’re close enough. When checking the status of the car with the app the cellular or sat connection will be used as the car requires. I check the car often when overseas. What does happen is the system times out after a couple weeks and you have to restart the car to reset it and get it to refresh the data. This is what occurs with both my 15 and 17. Kind of annoying. It’s a great feature but the timing out part is. PITA. Interesting subject as we get told different things from different “well informed sales experts”. Haha [/QUOTE]
