Saab: OnStar System

Hi all,

Hope everyone is still intact after annual festivities
I've just seen this article on Slashdot. It might be useful to OnStar users
who are not quite happy with the service.

Under the heading of "What a putz": "Bruce Radloff, OnStar's chief
technology officer, pointed out that owners who tamper with the system
risk voiding the warranty on the OnStar unit -- and more critically,
the warranty on the entire car."

And here's an interesting comment: "Security researchers have even
raised the specter that as more cars come equipped with OnStar
navigation systems, hackers will be tempted to try to exploit the
technology to locate OnStar users."

Well hackers, government agencies, etc. (Not so LOL).
