Quote, originally posted by vibeman1 »5.ability to add onstar after marketI don't think you can add onstar aftermarket for ANY vehicle. There's a lot of equipment that needs to be installed, and I think the factory uses different harnesses depending if Onstar is installed or not...

I have signatures turned off so I'm not even sure what mine says in this space!

I have a block heater on mine, but I don't think I'll ever use it. I don't have a garage to plug it into.

We really don't have a need for block heaters down here, but it's always an option that can be ordered from the factory.Anyway, I recommend you list those in the official thread we have going for suggested changes and improvements.http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=4674
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

Block heater is an option here in the states. We don't get a low washer fluid light because we have a dipstick in the filler neck of the washer fluid bottle. This came up over a year ago on this site if I remember correctly. I'd rather have the light on the dash instead of the dipstick.

vibeman1 must be short for me, the armrest (center bin) is too high. They won't be able to make it fit everyone, unless they make it adjust with the seat. Maybe they could have a fixed low bin, with an adjustable lid?Today I do the 30,000 mile service on my GT, almost 2 years old. Still love it!

I completely agree with you on the armrest location. For me, it is not bad but should be a little lower and slightly farther back.
