As long as we are asking dumb questions, here's mine:
I had 2003 Tahoe Z71. Great car. I traded it in for a 2007 Silverado
LTZ. The onstar on the Tahoe could be accessed from both the steering
wheel or the mirror, however the 2007 Silverado, and the Tahoe's can
only be accessed from the mirror. Why? It seems to me it made more
sense to access it from the steering wheel. You have to take your eyes
off the road to access onstar from the mirror. Perhaps they are telling
not to drive and use onstar at the same time.

That would make alot of sense, the less distractions the better
considering that americans already have to many distractions while
driving. Look at all the accidents that involve inatentive driving,
changing the radio, talking on the phone, playing with the gps,
ect...........

"The controls are on the inside rear view mirror"

Well, my question wasn't THAT dumb! I had already found the control
buttons without any help and I assume that black bump on the roof is the
antenna. I was asking where the VCU/VIU/GPS unit itself is located.
Somewhere inside the dash, I suppose?
Now, where'd I put that beer?

Oops. Sorry for the toe stomp. Shiner is in the 'fridge.

No offense taken. I've actually been known to miss something just that
simple before. Besides, how could I not like a fellow Shiner fan!

Might be a dumb question, but here goes....
Where is the On-Star unit located on a 2007 1500 pickup? I'm assuming
it's a GPS, phone modem, inter-face/processing unit of some sort. (Not
the antenna or mirror keypads) I used to think I knew where everythng
was on a vehicle, but I haven't a clue on this one. Just curious.....

I'd just about bet the owners manual tells all about the ONstar system and
it's use and function.

They don't quite tell all......
The owner's manual and OnStar supplement explain the use and functions
in great detail, but do not show where the unit is physically located on
the vehicle. ????

steve barker

Perhaps a service manual. Why do you need such information?

Like I said, just curious. Don't like joining the mass of folks that
drive 'em, but don't have a clue what's under the hood.

Thanks, anyway.
