supreme_style21 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 No, analog units are dead. What do you mean? They don't operate at ALL? This thing won't connect to anything. Do I have to have an actual service plan in place before it'll connect to obtain 'air time' or whatever it needs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegasm Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 All analog-based OnStar systems were disconnected in January of '08, because it was the end of support for analog cell phone carriers. You can take it to a dealer and they will replace it with a digital OnStar system... for a fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yeah I knew analog units were dead. I guess I wasn't at all clear on it now that I read back through it. I was wondering if I have an analog system. I read somewhere that late model '02s may have a digital unit, or were replaced with digital units at stealerships. But I've also read that the digital systems didn't start until 04+, so I was just curious if anyone could tell by the way it tries to connect in the videos.

stevegasm Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 The tone you hear when it tries to connect indicates that there isn't a signal, so it's probably an analog system. Also, if you have a cell phone antenna sticking out of your rear window, it's most likely analog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thats what I figured that tone was. No antenna though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
