"OnStar" on a non-GM car?
Can we get anything similar to OnStar put on out G's like GM has in most of its cars? I am about to move 5 hours away for college and thought it would be quite handy if the car got stolen, or I locked my keys in it.
Just wondering if there is anything aftermarket out there; otherwise I'll just invest in a really good alarm system.
Thanks

GM has been licensing On-Star to a lot of companies, like Acura, Audi, etc.
