Subject: OnStar and Analog Sunset
 
As of February 18, 2008, cellular telephone companies will not be
required
to provide analog service. Some users of OnStar in-vehicle communications
service will be affected as OnStar has indicated it will not support
analog
systems after December 31, 2007. 
 
OnStar-equipped vehicles have one of three types of equipment:
analog-only,
analog/digital-ready, and dual-mode (analog and digital). OnStar advises
that analog-only equipped vehicles (generally, cars older than 2003
models)
cannot be upgraded and that OnStar service in such vehicles will not work
after December 31, 2007. Analog/digital-ready equipped vehicles must be
upgraded in order to work after December 31, 2007.  (Dual-mode equipped
vehicles will continue to work after December 31, 2007.)
 
To determine the type of OnStar equipment in your vehicle and whether
your
OnStar service will work after December 31, 2007, contact OnStar. You can
contact OnStar by pressing the blue OnStar button in your vehicle,
calling
OnStar toll-free at 1-866-579-7726 (have your OnStar account number or
your
vehicle identification number available), or visiting OnStar's Web site
at
https://myonstar.com/adt.os. Enter your vehicle identification number to
determine if the transition affects your vehicle.
