On-Star FMV Bluetooth For The Car Rear View Mirror

On-Star postponed the debut of its aftermarket Bluetooth for the car rear-view mirror with embedded On-Star technology until the summer so it would include an external microphone. This option increases hands-free cellular voice quality to OEM On-Star systems and aftermarket Bluetooth speakerphone kits standards. The external microphone is fitted into the headliner or above the overhead console.

The Bluetooth for the car rear-view mirror features hands-free calling, auto crash response, turn-by-turn navigation, security services like a stolen vehicle locater and stolen vehicle slowdown. Automatic crash response uses a built-in accelerometer that detects the sudden shock of front, side, or rear impacts and triggers an automatic call to an On-Star adviser. If there is no response, an On-Star adviser directs emergency responders to the exact GPS location of the vehicle.

On-Star also changed the name to On-Star FMV, (For My Vehicle).  On-Star FMV will be offered with several service plans that start at $18.95 a month ($199 a year.)  In attempts to expand its market beyond owners of newer GM vehicles, On-Star said a rear-view mirror with embedded GPS, cellular, Bluetooth for the car speakerphone and accelerometer will be priced at a suggested $299. Installation costs estimated at $75 to $100.
