Yup. It doesn't recognize my VIN. I checked the address, like they suggest, and that's fine. Anyone have any other ideas on what might be wrong? I got mine in September, so I don't think its too new.

Mine didn't go either. Sent them an email. They responded saying that I had to call them. Haven't gotten around to it yet.

Doesn't seem to work if you live in Canada :(

Hmmm, it lists New Brunswick as one of the States. God, if you want to take over our country, there are better provinces to start with :))

I bought mine January 4th of this year so I haven't had it too long, but the Onstar site works fine (not much there) and they sent my payment book out without a problem. I don't know if they'll ever have the site up and running right. Between this site and a couple other one's, I don't even need GM link. It was a good idea. I wait and see. What choice do I have anyway? :rolleyes:

Hey all!

Called the owner's center and they asked that I fax over a copy of my registration. They are having problems with the VIN database. The guy went on to explain why, but I will not bore you here. Also, it does not matter what part of North America you are from, it is continent-wide.

They will add mine manually.

The fax number I got was 1-503-844-5121. ...or you can call their owner's center at 1-866 MY-GM-LINK (I know, one too many numbers), and after a message, select option 4 to autofax.

Hope this helps.

BTW - funny story. I took my Av in to hav eth bush guard installed, and the VIN came up with a 2002 Tahoe!! ;D

I had to call GM Link, they had me Fax my VIN and some sort of proof that I was the owner. ie. and Ins card title or registration.

Now it works fine! ;D

Good Luck! :B:

For those having probs, it may be in your USERNAME... I had a <space> in my user name and I kept getting kicked-back. Once I took the space out - fine!

As an aside, there's another bug. I bought my Av in Nov; however, GM Link marks me "past due" on service all the time because it's somehow showing my in-service date as Aug-02!. Asked them to fix...not a good answer.

It just did the same thing for me (will not take VIN)... looks like no one at GM fixed this problem since Feb 2004. :8: :7: :7:
