Now Any Car Can Have OnStar

This Spring for $299 OnStar is offering "OnStar Anywhere," a rearview mirror that replaces the factory mirror. With installation it will ultimately cost about $400 and will be avialable from Best Buy and other selected consumer electronics retailers. With an OnStar service plan starting at $18.95 a month or $199 a year the mirror will offer:
Automatic Crash Response: There's an accelerometer built into the mirror that detects the sudden shock of an impact from the front, side or rear of the vehicle — and automatically calls an OnStar advisor.

Emergency Services: Pressing OnStar's red emergency button links customers to a specially trained emergency advisor for assistance in situations occurring inside or outside of their vehicle.

Stolen Vehicle Location Assistance: OnStar will tell law enforcement where it is if you report it as being stolen.

Turn-by-Turn Navigation: Downloadable spoken turn-by-turn directions for reaching customers destinations.
