[QUOTE="ap19063, post: 25025, member: 8752"] Pomannox - i can't speak for chevrolet or equinox since this is my first rodeo with it, but I guarantee you there are other cars, manufacturers that keep the car from blowing until they've reached the desired temperature. I can also guarantee you those cars are not special in any way because I have never owned any special cars. As well, I remember owning a vehicle (i think Honda or kia) that slowed the fan down to a trickle if receive a call, so not to disturb you while your talking using bluetooth. As far as ONSTAR. Forcing people to have or even implying they need to have it, is (&^%$#@) not to mention the cost at 240 a year. I said something, because I know there are probably thousands of people who don't know they are being charged every month for something they don't need. To be clear, this is not needed for basic functions... not even controlling your car remotely (i advice that you read your ONSTAR package, so that you understand) but, it understand if you choose to keep the wifi out any other package from them... so as long as you know and weren't tricked into it by the dealer. Also, keep in mind that ONSTAR and all other cars remote services track your behavior in the car.
