OnStar RemoteLink Free for 5 years

[jmitchell]

It appears that if you download the RemoteLink App for your mobile device and connect it to your vehicle, you have free use of its features without having to pay for OnStar for five years. See the link below and here is the verbiage taken from the OnStar site...

"An active OnStar Directions & Connections or Safe & Sound service plan is required to access most RemoteLink features. However with 2014 OnStar equipped vehicles, when you download and use RemoteLink just once during your OnStar trial or consecutive subscription, you'll unlock access to the RemoteLink Key Fob Services, including Remote Start, Remote Door Lock and Remote Horn and Lights, for five years from date of vehicle delivery.
OnStar RemoteLink Key Fob Services do not include any emergency services, Automatic Crash Response, stolen vehicle assistance, live Advisor service, or Hands-Free Calling. If you sell your GM vehicle or wish to cancel use of OnStar Key Fob Services, you must contact OnStar at 1.888.4.ONSTAR. Subsequent owners will be able to activate the remaining term of the Key Fob Services by calling 1.888.4.ONSTAR.
When OnStar RemoteLink Key Fob Services are active, location information is collected each time you use the app." (from OnStar site)

I can confirm this as well. It's extremely slow but works well.

Yep, I got a flier in the purchase materials.
