Canadian Upgrade Program Overview

Canadian wireless service providers plan to decommission their 2G Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network through 2015. OnStar currently depends on active and functioning 2G CDMA networks to deliver services. As a result, in order to continue to provide OnStar services without interruption, Canadian vehicles that do not have OnStar 3G/4G LTE will need a hardware upgrade.

In order to upgrade their vehicle hardware and continue receiving OnStar services, a customer will receive a letter from OnStar with instructions for the upgrade process when the hardware is available for installation on their vehicle. There are different versions of hardware required for vehicles that will be available at different times in early 2015, so it is important that customers first receive the communication from OnStar to begin the upgrade process.

Note: Refer to PI1533 for additional repair instructions that may be required for select models to ensure proper handsfree voice recognition performance.

Notice: Canadian OnStar equipped vehicles travelling into the United States are to be serviced as would any U.S. vehicle while visiting, or relocating, to the United States. Follow normal diagnostic and repair procedures to support customer satisfaction regardless of vehicle point of origin.
