Most Buick, GMC and Escalade buyers choose to get an OnStar subscription anyway, Sullivan said, and making it standard was just simpler. The check-box for a three year OnStar subscription remained checked. CNN Business’ own attempts to de-select the OnStar option when pricing a Cadillac Escalade on the website proved fruitless. While it’s now standard, it’s still listed as an option on the pricing documents for the vehicle and on the brands’ websites. Now, a three-year subscription is included with all GMC and Buick models and on Cadillac Escalades. Buyers can then elect to subscribe to the service if they wished.

Generally, purchasers of new GM vehicles are offered a free trial subscription. The service has over 15 million subscribers in the US, according to GM. GM also now offers a version of the service that works with mobile phones and is not tied to a specific vehicle. With a subscription, it can even be used to stop a stolen vehicle when requested by police. The electronic equipment required by the service is installed on most GM vehicles regardless of whether the buyer purchases a subscription. OnStar provides emergency services contact, navigation assistance and other help to subscribers with the assistance of live operators. But customers won’t get their $1,500 back if they choose to decline the service, which they can still do. But this is an option you can’t refuse.Ī three-year OnStar subscription is now simply standard equipment on all these models, GM spokesman Patrick Sullivan said. General Motors is selling three years of OnStar service as a $1,500 “option” on all Buick and GMC vehicles, as well as on Cadillac Escalade SUVs.
