If you drive one of the 20 most popular cars on the road today, you can slap an OnStar mirror on your windshield and put the famous "blue button" at your fingertips. It's a brilliant move because several automakers are scrambling to offer in-car connectivity similar to what OnStar and Ford's Sync have offered for years. This week alone we've seen Toyota and Hyundai announce their own riffs on those two successful systems. With OnStar's most popular service, drivers can press OnStar's blue button and ask OnStar advisors for directions to a specific location or ask the advisor to find a point of interest such as a gas station or nearby restaurant.
The directions are then downloaded to the OnStar system, which provides spoken turn-by-turn directions for reaching the destination. In non-emergency situations, drivers can push the blue button or call ONSTAR for help with problems such as keys locked in the vehicle, a flat tire, or running out of gas.
OnStar allows drivers to make hands-free, voice-activated calls either through a Bluetooth connection to the driver's mobile phone or through prepaid packages of minutes purchased through OnStar. All these services are available directly through the OnStar mirror, without requiring the driver to bring along a mobile phone or even own a mobile phone. In the event of an accident, emergency services are alerted even if there is no mobile phone in the vehicle, the phone is damaged in a crash or the driver is unable to use a phone.
OnStar is now in its ninth generation of technology. The first-generation OnStar product in was comprised of 38 individual components and could take up to four days to install. Now all of the technology required to deliver the OnStar experience fits inside a rearview mirror weighing only 23 ounces, and professional installation is expected to take less than an hour.
This requires removing the vehicle's current rearview mirror, replacing it with the OnStar product and running an electric power source to the new mirror.
