Luke Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Has anyone had their onstar say "Phone Unavailable"? The little light on the mirror next to the Onstar buttons is red now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisconsinSS Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Could it be an analog/digital problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Could be, but it has worked in the past. I don't get digital service where I park at night. Maybe it can't update w/o digital. Coutld my PCM tune be the culprit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I don't have any call minutes left, but I can't even call onstar use the emergency button (i get the same phone unavailable message). They never assigned me a phone number, so I haven't used it. Should I make a trip to the dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Yeah... sounds like either something came disconected or burnt out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisconsinSS Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Sounds like an On Star problem. Ya I would take it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geomcrider Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 If you have a RED light on...its a system malfunction. Take it in I had an Avalanche that when I test it ..it told us we were in the MIDDLE of lake Mich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Thanks guys. I'll be taking my truck in to have it looked at. Where is the brain/controller for onstar located? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing a thread somewhere about messing with the onstar box to use it's navigation system. Has anyone ever gotten a sales call on their Onstar? I did a few weeks back I was like WTF!!!

backinblack Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I thought the light went red if there was a malfunction or if there service was not active? Post up your last 8 and I'll check you onstar status to make sure it's active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big O Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Post up your last 8 and I'll check your status to make sure it's active. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ummm ... lets see .... I guess it would be Janine, Pam, Cori, Jess, Chasey, Mel, Joan, and Autumn .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
