  1. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 1 Volt
    I'm in Canada and I've been trying to set up OnStar for my 2015 so I can connect it to the Chevrolet app and the light flashes green and the screen says "Connected" but it beeps a few times then hangs up by itself. Anyone had this issue before?
  2. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 2 Volt
    I purchased my 2017 Volt almost exactly 6 years ago, and never paid for OnStar. One feature I really like is the ability to use the MyChevrolet app (which has had a few names over the years) to remote start the car. A few days ago, I noticed the app was no longer working - when I open it I get...
  3. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 2 Volt
    Hi, I just got an email from OnStar about a "deal" for remote access (remote fob and other things). I'm currently getting all that for free, and have been since I purchased my 2018 volt (I'm in Canada if that makes a difference). Is OnStar starting to charge for this? I don't get it. I still...
  4. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    My Onstar on my 2017 Primere hasn't worked for over a year. Not exactly sure what to ook for...when I search, ther isn't anything related to what I've experienced. Here's the rundown 1. Onstar stopped working....onstar LED is alway Red...can't make an OnStar call whatsoever. I called Tech...
  5. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I used to log in to mychevrolet.com to see my charging history about once a month. Back at the first of the year, I got a message saying there was an error retrieving the charging history and to use the mobile app. Well, the mobile app is virtually worthless and it absolutely does not having...
  6. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    I've only started using this functionality recently because I need to keep track of my charging a little more than I used to. In case you are wondering, the shared garage in my condo has us sharing the electricity for the garage and I want to be fair about paying for my EV charging. I...
  7. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I have a 2013 Volt with 53,000 miles. I'm the second owner for the last two years. Overall I have been very happy with my ownership experience, but a couple of weeks ago I had a breakdown. I did learn from the experience so I hope I can pass some useful information along. I was in the fast lane...
  8. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    Just got back from a long road trip (the Volt did great, as usual). While my spousal unit was driving, I tried to post a question on this website using my cell phone, but, after lengthy typing, my post disappeared into the ether. So here it is again. At the start of the trip I upped for...
  9. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    On our 2012 Volt I kept OnStar for a while - and actually used it three times. The first time was when I accidentally locked myself out of the car but had my cellphone at hand. The second time was for navigation, to impress a passenger (though my phone and the car's GPS could have done the job)...

    When General Motors first deployed OnStar, it was a little more than an emergency services hotline. Drivers in need could tap a blue button on their rearview mirror and immediately get in contact with an operator. The system could also do this automatically in the event of a crash. OnStar later...
  11. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    Are any other VG1 drivers having issues with their onstar not connecting to app? Also not getting full charge or charge interrupted text notifications. I was having issues and since I got onstar to do updates to it have lost all connectivity to the Module.
  12. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    I was excited to find out I could add my car to my AT&T wireless plan for just $10 a month - then I realized, what is the point? Why should we pay $10 to use the same pool of data that our phone is pulling from? It's not like the car has a web browser or email app or streams Netflix - its only...
  13. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 2 Volt
    On Saturday I used one of the Chargepoint systems at the Alewife MBTA station. Chargepoint sent an email at 2:59pm that the charge was complete. When I unplugged the car at 4:54pm, I immediately got the OnStar text and email indicating that the charge was complete. In other words, the car waited...
  14. Software & Programming/Code - Chevy Volt
    Hi everyone I am in the middle of development of an android app that does what OVMS/Onstar can do and more like roll all windows up or down, ajar trunk, ect. All you need is a spare android phone with sms or data services and OBDLink MX bluetooth adapter connected to OBD2 port. Would anyone be...
  15. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I mentioned in another post that I signed up for OnStar's "Protection" package (at a "promotional" rate) when my initial free 3-year period ended. Now I'm researching the somewhat-similar gizmo/service that Verizon sells called Hum. Hum's costs include a one-time $20 activation fee and a $30...
  16. Suggestions for GM - Chevy Volt
    I often forget to plug in at home, I wish it would text me a reminder a few minutes after I park at my "home" location and am not plugged in. This would be a lot more useful than the time-of-day reminder, which goes off every night when I'm travelling or if I'm out having a late dinner. If...
  17. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I have about a week left on my 2013's initial free OnStar subscription and I must decide what to do. I'm on the fence. What did you do when your free subscription ended? (Please: past tense only, not what you may do in the future.) Since I have a smartphone, I'm thinking of just continuing...
  18. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    I have a 2014 Volt and my 3 free years of Onstar just ended. I did not renew it. Today, I tried to make a call through my bluetooth connection with Volt and instead of putting the call through my speakers, I got a loop recording telling me to press the blue button to renew Onstar. A second...
  19. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    After my OnStar plan expired this March on my 2013, I got on the Basic plan (I believe for 3 or 5 years) which allowed me to get charging interruption notifications and keyfob functionality. A few weeks ago I got an email from them saying I "did not accept the OnStar®1 User Terms and Privacy...
  20. New Member Introductions
    Well, maybe not fifty, but so far I've counted three ways to use voice to interact with my 2015 Volt. I haven't tried voice commands for all systems; I'm mostly interested in navigation and phone commands. Can you help me sort out which type of voice commands I should concentrate on. This is...
