VIDEO from OnStar and Synaptic Digital: OnStar Now Available to More Vehicles

NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- At the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas OnStar announced that its industry leading safety, security and connectivity services can now be added to vehicles already on the road. A standalone rearview mirror packing all of OnStar's core technology will be available this spring through consumer electronics retailers, and is compatible with most top-selling vehicles from major manufacturers.

The OnStar retail product offers the key features that have made OnStar's "blue button" an icon, including Automatic Crash Response, Turn-by-Turn Navigation, Stolen Vehicle Location Assistance, one-button access to emergency and roadside services, and hands-free calling, including Bluetooth connectivity.

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.

For more information on OnStar's innovation, the new OnStar mirror and a list of the compatible vehicles at launch, visit www.onstar.com.
