The simple fact is, take a look at the app, how it gets real time data from the car on fuel level, etc. The OnStar box in the 2010 doesn't do that to the normal web application, so very obviously they did not want to offer the app with limited functionality to 2010 cars. There seems to be some way that it will do a real time connection to the car. Very likely they did not want to release the ability for it to work on Gen8 hardware based cars if the functionality was crippled or unreliable.
How do you spell "speculation"?

I wonder, in a year or so when the SS has 20-50 more horsepower, is everyone going to whine that GM isn't upgrading their engine for free? Seriously!
If people familiar with the engine hardware and software come on and say they are 100% sure that the upgrade is purely a software "tune" for the 2012 model and GM insists that it's really because they installed solid titanium pistons and depleted uranium wrist pins and everyone with a 2010-2011 is out of luck, THEN you might hear some complaining. And as far as I can tell, most of the 2010 people here are not insisting that the support is "free" as you say... if there really is a firmware update that needs to be done to allow the new features then most of them would accept that they should pay for the software upgrade.

You just had to dig up a thread on this when there was a continuous discussion of this in all caps going on at the top of the page.

I insalled it on Thursday 1028. Works great and is fun.

OnStar told me it wouldn't be available until 10/30 but there was a thread on 10/28 saying it was available and it was

If you're kidding, I'm falling for it... if you're not, I feel bad that this upsets you that much.

One last attempt here... We're not putting down 2010 owners, we're trying to share with the few of you that are irate over this that it's possible Onstar isn't out to get you. You guys seem so hell bent that this was on purpose or that someone's out to screw you over, or whatever, but that just doesn't seem to make any sense.

If you had this app, you wouldn't have used it but a couple times just to check it out... after that it's just an icon on your phone. What feature on this app is a 'game changer'? After learning about the features now available, were you like, "Jeez, I don't know how many times I've wanted to do ______ from my iPhone before and I haven't been able to. Now 2011 owners can do that and I can't! F- Onstar!!! " What feature can you fill in that blank with?

There's so many bigger things in life to get worked up over. Is this the hill you want to die on?

I hope some of you guys that are all worked up and pissed off about this are just having a bad week and letting your frustrations out on this and you don't do this for every little thing that you feel slighted over. Life is way too short to let stuff like this get you all worked up.

Stress is a silent killer, take care of yourselves.

Well, Mr. GameChanger, Onstar, Master Control, whatever you call yourself. I am pleased to tell you that I'd gladly die on this hill or in any single one of my BUSHES that YOU and ONSTAR have so frequently been seen CRAWLING in as of late.

Since it is woefully obvious to the general Camaro owner base that you will continue to lurk my premises to no foreseeable end, I am forced to defend myself. I dare you to come near my bushes and shrubs in the daylight. I am so petrified that I cant even move. I went to the end of my rope last time, onstar. You promised me a land of eternal springtime. It started to scare me when our conversations on my car phone kept coming up short. You never even knew about your own service. Did my old cadillac connect to a different answering service within or connected to onstar? Cause let me tell you, they never came near my bushes and they even knew where to go. Holy shit. They never EFFED ME OVER OUT OF AN APP YOU CORDUROY PANTS WEARING FOOLS.

I pay for your child with every ONSTAR BILL I PAY. I wonder if they have braces, ONSTAR?

You behave like you have not been taught yet.

Have a baloney, Bologna.

I am unable to continue at the present time

not sure if this has been said....

I got tired of reading through all the bickering so I decided to post this without confirming if it had been said before.


There is still hope for 2010 Camaro owners.

Take the time to read the second topic in the FAQ.

The "OnStar MyLink" App was released on the 28th of October... FYI
I'm sure most have probably found it or know about it by now but just in case it is released

Thread merges makes the mergee poster look so dumb or that he is way out of it, mods should write something to the effect the thread was merged.
