i was about to post this info here because i couldnt find it listed uner the terms i searched for. but i found it and did not know that the site i got it from (hackaday) has the same thing with a like to the same site that was posted. that site is http://members.cox.net/onstar/ i cant view this site on gov't computers. so i am just going to post it and check it out when i get home. but if i remember correctly, u can use any gm onstar set to do this.....

ah ok. just wish the internet would always work correctly here at work. but if i remember right any onstart taken from any vehical and put into a non onstar vehicale will work.

Does anyone know how to do this with GM LAN vehicles??? The onstar board is different than what is on the website above.

My car is a 2006 Saturn Ion Redline, btw. My goal is to use the gps receiver (not just the antenna) from the onstar box. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i want to get the onstar system from a blazer that has one so i can put it easily in the stock location and not take up a lot of space
