What if I don't want included OnStar features?

While a customer may decline the OnStar services offer, the packages are considered included equipment and cannot be removed from the vehicle or deducted from the MSRP.

What happens if I sell my vehicle to a new owner before the included features expire?

Any remaining term of the included features is transferable to the next owner. However, SiriusXM®* plans are not transferrable.
