OnStar expands OnStar Mobile App availability to some Model Year 2010 vehicles



Effective immediately, the OnStar mobile app, that connects owners with their vehicles – wherever it is, whenever they want, is now available to download and use with the following MY 2010 vehicles:





Cadillac DTS

Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT

Buick Enclave

Lucerne

GMC Acadia

Yukon, Yukon XL

Chevrolet Avalanche

Impala

Suburban

Tahoe

Traverse



This will complete the list of eligible MY 2010 vehicles. There are no plans to make MY 2009 vehicles mobile app capable in the foreseeable future.



Please note that Remote Start functionality will only work on vehicles where Remote Start has been factory-installed and factory-enabled.



The OnStar mobile app offers an amazing level of control and connection to vehicles. After downloading and registering the app, owners with an eligible vehicle can use their compatible smart phone to access real-time data from their vehicle and perform specific commands – like unlocking their doors – remotely.



Unparalleled control to:

Lock/unlock doors from any distance2
Start vehicles remotely 3
Activate Horn & Lights to help locate vehicle
Contact an OnStar Advisor, Roadside Assistance or Preferred Dealer
Unprecedented connectivity to:

View real-time fuel information, including fuel range, gallons of gas remaining and lifetime MPG
Check remaining oil life
View current tire pressure readings & recommendations4
Access account information



OnStar Mobile Application– All communication between the app and vehicles is powered by OnStar’s advanced connected technology. For that reason, owners must have an active OnStar account as well as a valid OnStar website Username and Password to use the app. Please note: If your customer already has an OnStar Username and Password, they’ll still need to visit their Account Settings to activate the app’s Remote Commands and to verify that their correct email address is listed on their account profile.





OnStar Mobile Application Compatible Devices and App Download:

iPhone®5, iPod Touch® and iPad® devices – visit the AppStore and search for “OnStar MyLink”
Android™6 mobile device with WVGA or HVGA resolution running Android OS 2.1 or later – visit the Android Market using your mobile device and search for “OnStar MyLink”

What?? I wonder why this was changed?

WTF! I've been waiting for my 2010 Camaro AND my 2010 Equinox! grrrrrr!

Disappointing.

I was thinking about this on the way to work. Perhaps the cars listed above are simply already compatible with the app, and that all you need to do is download it and run it. However, maybe the 2010 Camaro needs some sort of dealer hardware installation to make it compatible in the same manner?

I'm thinking the 2011 OnStar module will start becoming popular on http://www.car-part.com/

Wow, what a nice fail.

First I downloaded the app since I didn't find anywhere on the Onstar site or the description for the droid that it wouldn't support the 2010 model Camaro's.

Then the description got changed for the app saying 2011, with a note from Onstar saying they would work on it.

Now, a list, without the Camaro and "This completes the list, we aren't planning on making it available for 2009 models"
So my car was built in 2009. It is still the 2010 model.

Ah well. Not that I would have used the app anyhow. Much like I don't check facebook with onstar.

its likely a hardware/software issue.... and no, you cant just swap out the parts. you need to flash the system with the newer software and GM is not supporting that.

I know a few people who have bought the 2LT or 2SS OnStar box out of a wrecked car, and put them in their 1LT, LS, or 1SS so they can have bluetooth...

My guess is, the answer is in the OnStar box....I'm sure someone will try!

In my 08 Yukon, putting in the newer modules, you'd end up with bluetooth... but OnStar is disabled........
