Do you want to be tracked everywhere that you go?

Not with all of the free technology that we have today that can basically do the same things.

The only part of it that's worth it is they can unlock your vehicle from outer space if you lock your keys in it.

If your car is stolen and you ate not subscribed, they can still track it for the police. So it's always trackable.

Not if you work on a land rig. On star systems are forbidden when running jars. Used to laugh at my Co workers who had to park off site

You can do that yourself now with the onstar app.

That and some other diagnostic features are free for 5 years.

It helps when your wife locks herself inside the car.

Certainly not for me. I would think if you travel a lot where your cell phone service is spotty then probably but other than that, no.

You get some free shite for 5 years. Diagnostic reports, unlock/start your car from app, and tracking for insurance discounts. Not really sure why people would pay for the mobile hot spot at those prices though
