Spooky Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 As Travis said, it only disables the throttle and the engine still runs, so it wouldnt have any effect on the ABS, Power Steering etc..That said, a throttle works by cable so i cant see how it would only disable the throttle!!

Fanfare Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 So you basically buy a car with tracking device installed and controlled by a 3rd party? So much for privacy. I suppose there's good and bad about this idea. The good being that you need desperate help when in an accident, but not much so when you're a carjacker who steals a car with OnStar equipped...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed some of the new expensive cars are digital throttles and not cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanfare Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Is GM the only car maker in association with the Onstar corporation? I've just realized that none of my cars are American-made...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
