The process of terminating OnStar services involves discontinuing a subscription to the vehicle safety, security, and connectivity system offered by General Motors. This action disconnects the vehicle from features such as automatic crash response, emergency services, and remote access functionalities. For example, a vehicle owner might initiate this action upon selling the vehicle or determining the services no longer align with their needs.
Discontinuing the service offers vehicle owners greater control over their expenses and data. It eliminates recurring subscription fees and prevents the ongoing collection of vehicle usage data by OnStar. Historically, subscription cancellations have become increasingly common as owners seek to manage recurring costs and explore alternative vehicle connectivity solutions.
