Vauxhall OnStar was Vauxhall’s on the go assistant and in-car WiFi provider. But as of 31st December 2020, all OnStar services are no longer available. Learn about what this means for you, what you can use instead and which Vauxhall cars came with OnStar.
Vauxhall OnStar is made up of a suite of advanced technology, creating a unique system that comprised of a high-speed 4G network, in-car WiFi for up to seven devices, 24/7 personal assistance, emergency response notifications, a stolen-vehicle tracker and smartphone connectivity.

Vauxhall Connect includes satnav with real-time traffic info, road safety alerts, vehicle status and information and remote control functions for electric vehicles.
MyVauxhall has everything you need in one convenient app. From MyVauxhall, you can book services, access Vauxhall Connect, check Vauxhall rewards and watch vehicle tutorials.
Vauxhall cars made between 2015 and January 2019 will be fitted with OnStar buttons that will no longer work from 31st December 2020. This is something to keep in mind when looking for a used Vauxhall car, as any models made between 2015 & 2019 are fitted with OnStar buttons.
