I just received an email yesterday from OnStar that due to tech upgrades from it's current 2G connection to 4G or 5G being instituted current users are going to have to use a device called the OnStar Link and put it in their OBD-II port and to then tie into their smart phone program called OnStar Guardian App. in order to keep all services after the switch sometime in 2022.
I wonder what those owners who use Range technology device to deactivate AFM are supposed to do? Also i wonder if the Onstar Link will cause a parasitic drain on the battery over time?
Then I guess old timers like my family who don't have a smart phone will be out of luck since the OnStar Guardian App is smart phone dependent and we don't want to spend the added cost of a smart phone just to keep OnStar........
