This is precisely the reason to buy the "equipment", but NOT the 
service. With the OnStar equipment and the hack listed below, you can do 
your own GPS navigation, without using the service, and therefore you 
would NOT be able to be tracked via the cel phone calls that OnStar has 
to make for the "service" to work.
