http://www.onstar.com/us_engli...ivacyQ. Was OnStar the company involved in the recent U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals case regarding monitoring of conversations that occur inside vehicles? A. No, OnStar was not involved in this court case in any way. Q. Can the OnStar system be used to monitor vehicle occupant’s conversations without their knowledge? A. The OnStar system does not allow in-vehicle monitoring without notification to vehicle occupants. When a voice connection is made into the vehicle, the occupants will be notified in several ways, including a light flash on the indicator next to the OnStar buttons, a phone ring will be heard, the radio will mute and, depending on equipment, the occupant(s) may see the word "phone" or other indicator on the Driver Information Center or radio display. In addition, OnStar advisors are required to announce their presence immediately once they have established voice communication into a vehicle.
