[&o]I bought a beautiful 04 allroad with ONSTAR for my elderly mother. Now I am told as of Jan 1, GM ONSTAR is going digital and although you can upgrade a GM vehicle, you cannot upgrade an Audi. So the ONSTAR is worthless. Anyone know if there is a way to upgrade Audis to digital ONSTAR. Any other options?

 

Nice job GM. Although they aren't responsible for the change in the cellular network, they should have provided OnStar equipment to Audi that could be upgraded. The folks at OnStar couldn't help me because my Allroad isn't a GM vehicle. So much for independence. I thought we were talking about my OnStar equipment.

Just another in a long line of poor personal experiences with GM.

 

Sucks there isn't going to be an option to switch to digital with Audis. Our 03 has the Onstar option and I was toying with the idea of subscribing, but decided against it cause the subscription price seemed kinda high given that I can use my cell phone to do most of the same.

 

My 04 AR also came with that package - any thing you can do with it now or at least with its components?

Nothing you can do with it now. Its dead in the water. What's lame is some audi dealers still list it as an option on their used allroads...knowing full well that you can't subscribe.
