I find it absurd that so many features on our 2025, (and 2026) are no longer available when the 8 free years of On Star expire. Some of them should be standard for the life of the vehicle.  What will you do when that feature is discontinued? "When the eight years of complimentary OnStar Connected Services (known as OnStar Basics for 2025 and newer vehicles) expire, you will lose access to all connected features unless you purchase a paid subscription plan"What You Will LoseUpon the expiration of the free 8-year term, you will lose access to the following core services that were included in the plan:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">All services are shut off: Your vehicle will no longer be able to connect with OnStar for assistance, even in an emergency, including the Automatic Crash Response and Emergency Services. Pushing the OnStar button will not get a response.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Loss of remote access features: You will lose the ability to use the full range of remote commands through your myChevrolet, myGMC, etc., mobile app, such as remote start (from a distance), vehicle lock/unlock, and checking vehicle status (tire pressure, fuel/charge level).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Loss of navigation and data features: Features like real-time traffic updates, turn-by-turn navigation (if applicable), Google Maps integration, and the in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot data plan will cease to function.</li> </ul></blockquote>
