- Today we are going to safely tear into the front of the dashboard of my new GM Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra truck car vehicle to disable and remove the OnStar electronic chip. Removing the OnStar electronic chip will disable OnStar from tracking your every move, location, speed, listening to every word you speak, and every breath you take.The methodology provided in the video is reversible and can be returned back to factory specifications to re-enable OnStar.onstar navigation,onstar commercial,onstar guardian,onstar wifi,onstar remote start,onstar fuse location,onstar app,onstar emergency,onstar antenna water leak,onstar automatic crash response,onstar antenna replacement,onstar activation,onstar ad,onstar alexa,onstar advisor,onstar batman,onstar button,onstar button not working,onstar batman commercial,onstar bluetooth pairing,onstar bluetooth,onstar bluetooth conversion kit,onstar bypass module,onstar crash,onstar crash response,onstar chevy malibu,onstar chevrolet app,onstar cadillac,onstar call,onstar commercial crash,constar,cornstarch,constara,constarodi,constar star trek,constar 1,constar gd,cornstarch eating,onstar demo,onstar disable,onstar demonstration mode,onstar delete,onstar door unlock,onstar device,onstar draining battery,onstar down,onstar emergency call,onstar emergency button,onstar explained,onstar ending,onstar emergency unlock,onstar engine and transmission,onstar emissions alert,onstar fmv,onstar features,onstar free services,onstar features and benefits,onstar free trial,onstar family link,onstar fuse,onstar guardian app,onstar gmc,onstar guardian app review,onstar gabriel iglesias,onstar gmc sierra,onstar gmc terrain,onstar gm,onstar hands free calling,onstar hack,onstar horn,onstar how to cancel,onstar how does it work,onstar history,onstar hotspot not working,onstar hands free calling minutes,onstar internet,onstar insurance,onstar italian joke,onstar installation,onstar in car,onstar is a waste of money,onstar in vehicle,onstar interface,onstar joker,onstar jeep,onstar just beeps,onstar joke,onstar jammer,onstar jump start,lavell crawford onstar joke,fluffy onstar joke,onstar key fob,onstar keys locked in car,onstar kit,onstar keys locked in vehicle,onstar keeps charging me,onstar kill switch,onstar kia,onstar key unlock,opel astra k onstar,onstar location tracking,onstar locked in car,onstar locked out,onstar locate my vehicle,onstar law enforcement guide,onstar lawsuit,onstar language change,onstar light not on,onstar mirror,onstar mc chris,onstar module location,onstar module,onstar module problems,onstar mirror buttons,onstar my chevy,onstar microphone adapter,monstar,monstar live,monstar tv,monstars space jam,monstarr old school dubs,monstar cfc,monster kdrama,monster ep 1 eng sub,onstar not working,onstar navigation 2015 silverado,onstar not working in car,onstar number to unlock doors,onstar navigation review,onstar number to unlock car,onstar not connecting,onstar opel,onstar or lojack,onstar open car door,onstar ovd,onstar one time unlock,onstar or aaa,onstar on car,onstar on what vehicles,como funciona o onstar,como desativar o onstar,o que é onstar chevrolet,onstar plans,onstar prank call,onstar packages,onstar prices,onstar plans review,onstar phone calls,onstar plans 2021,onstar public safety training,onstar quit working,onstar que es,que es onstar chevrolet,onstar review,onstar rear view mirror,onstar remote access,onstar remote link,onstar roadside assistance,onstar ready,onstar removal,onstar stolen vehicle,onstar sound effect,onstar sos,onstar safety and security,onstar stories,onstar service,onstar sound,onstar sos button,is onstar worth it,is onstar worth the money,onstar tracking,onstar turn by turn navigation,onstar tutorial,onstar tracker,onstar test,onstar turn by turn,onstar theft recovery,onstar trial,onstar unlimited access plan,onstar unlock car,onstar unlock,onstar update,onstar update v6.66,onstar unlock my truck,onstar update v6.66 frozen,onstar update 2021,onstar voice,onstar vs aaa,onstar vehicle slowdown,onstar vehicle locate,onstar vehicle diagnostics,onstar vauxhall,onstar vehicle insights,onstar voice command button,hennessey cts-v onstar,onstar wifi hotspot review,onstar welcome call,onstar wifi review,onstar wifi setup,onstar wifi connected but no internet,onstar wifi not working,onstar wifi password,onstar xm radio,opel mokka x onstar,onstar youtube,onstar 10 years,onstar 2021,onstar 2020,onstar 2005,onstar 2g,onstar 24 hour service,onstar 2 months free,disable onstar 2020 silverado,onstar 3 months free,onstar 3g shutdown,onstar 3 years on us,onstar 3g,onstar 30 day free trial,onstar 4g lte wifi hotspot,onstar 4g lte wifi,onstar 4g lte,onstar 4g wifi,onstar 4g lte review,onstar 45,onstar 5g,onstar 5 years free,onstar 5g upgrade,onstar 6.66 update,onstar 888-4onstar mi,onstar 888-4onstar mi charge,onstar 911,onstar 911 training,onstar 911 without subscription

Yo your doing god's and real Americans work right here brotha 👍🏼
Wow, it's amazing how much hate the Zogbots have for this video. That's how you know it's struck a nerve. Great one!
And will hopefully still make an impact on a grand scale.
@@Derec Hey any chance you could look into finding the mechanism/wire/fuse chevy is using on silverados to set the speed limiter?
Thanks for the tip... always hated OnStar. Nothing pisses me off more than accidentally hitting it in my work vehicle. Never gonna let it slide in a personal vehicle.
You are helping so many people out.
Very thoughtful fast forwarding you so. God bless you for that!
6:23 fuse tip - very good!
Don't work on my 22 cororado
Looking at getting a newer heavy duty truck, seriously wanted a gm but there was no way I was going to with onstar having anything to do with it. Thanks for solving that issue man!
Hey man keep making videos like this. Quick and easy fixes I garuntee you could go full time youtube with instructional videos like these.
I will see what I can do, thanks
My man!!! Thanks bro!! 💯👍
You are welcome
If you want to keep your Microphone for phone calls, and disable OnStar only take off the Purple/Burgundy antenna which he struggles with @2:21 into the video. I did just that testing, and everything works like normal, bluetooth (with Microphone for calls), and Onstar system does the same thing that video creator shows at the end.. simply tries to call OnStar and can't connect. Hope it helps others.
Worked. I did it by pulling the 3 prong fuse and using a 2 prong fuse. I had to bend the prongs closer and sort out the connection. Either no AC and heat or no Onstar. Got it first try. 2021 GMC Canyon
Great work, first try is a charm
That’s awesome! I hope im as lucky 🍀
Bless. I was hoping the 2021 Canyon was the same.
Yes I'm doing it tomorrow
I thought all you had to do was break the little antenna on the roof and that’s that!!! Simple and effective! I’ve read that from many car thief’s
I unplugged my OnStar antana fro the infotainment and OnStar still sends the maintenance needed and they know the milage of truck
Very informative but I think it would be safer if you disconnected the battery first and used proper anti-static protection when handling sensitive electronics. Thanks for the info!
Someone else told me that. Disabling the battery works?? Onstar won't be able to track it?
@@MaryJane-HarleyQuinn You betcha! and your car won't start either!
I ❤the impression
thank you for your service
I knew it listened to me.. I could feel it
Lol wtf
Me too I can here it being turned on cause I spoke to cyber security expert he said put foil on windows to here different times they strike window it works HUGE Lawsuit coming
Excellent video. If I knew more about On Star I would have never bought my GMC Canyon. One question: does your procedure also disable the annoying warnings that appear on the plasma screen? You know the ones. When the outside temperature drops below 32, you get: “ Roads and overpasses can be slippery. You must slow down and drive carefully “. OR, my favorite: " Reading messages on the plasma screen while driving and taking your eyes off the road can cause a accident “. The last one is on a clock and appears exactly once a month. You MUST tap the OK button on the screen to get rid of the message.
Thanks
They can immobilize your vehicle with on star, perfect hack to do on a fleet or corporation. You never know what's in the works these days, hence the reason to have it removed.
Yes
Im wondering if this open sourceware is part of nonstar?
If so what could be done to release the truck from
these privacy predators
through that? Anything ?
I. D. K. Just a random thought.
Like giving my truck an exorcism. 4 real.
@@B.I.-EIO_macdonald9786 No part of onstar is open source. You will never know what it is doing. Only by replacing it with your own hardware and software will you have any say on the data it provides GM and it's 3rd Party partners, including the government.
Part of the new infrastructure bill that was passed no long ago included making new vehicles with remote shut off / lockout. They want to control where we go and when we can go there. That's why they want all electric vehicles so we're 100% dependant on the government. Do some research. They want us on the same social credit system China is on
They can still track you 😂😂😂😂
good stuff!
If I pull the chip out of 2018 suburban will my navigation and Waze still work? Thank You!
Excellent! I recall reading in a car magazine back in the early 90's how these OnStar systems were designed by DARPA....GM used to brag about it actually 🤔 I haven't liked this idea from the start, I like some GM vehicles but want nothing to do with their tracking devices...next the government will shut your car off, if you hold "unacceptable views" as our Canadian Prime Minister calls anything he disagrees with.
Now you can't find anything on the internet about DARPA making the OnStar system. The info has been hidden; all there are now are videos of DARPA showing how they proudly hacked an early model GM (of course, they could do it, they designed the darn thing).
This will only get worse and new models will probably begin to make the vehicle inoperable when you remove their tracking/hacking devices. The more I learn about automotive "cybersecurity" the less I want anything to do with connected vehicles and devices.
Good riddance!
@derelict what is the silver box you pulled out? And why did you disconnected it and connected back to then disassemble it? Thanks
The box handles the radio and communications, antenna testing
Just watch out on the 2018 silverado, it actually had dual antennas module. but if you do the fuse trick, you will loose your microphone for bluetooh. But with just the module pulled, make sure you set your time and date or android auto won't work.
Sweet video, thanks for the info. Truck still works great, maybe better😂.
I wonder if there are any other tracking devices on 2022... great video!
any luck disconnecting of the onstar in a 2022???
What if you completely remove all boxes and replace with a aftermarket radio will on start not work at all
So where you able to keep your phone and be able to use hands free from the steering wheel. I notice when you disconnect the box you had no ONSTAR and no Phone, then you removed the ONSTAR motherboard and plugged everything back in and your Phone was lit back up.
My 16 sierra's circuit is different- the lityle one underneath is directly plugged into the top one and has a brown and a purple plug. The top circuit comes loose with the cover. I just put a piece of cellophane between the top and bottom connectors and put it back together. Onstar unavailable
Pulled the fuses but the Bluetooth and wifi hotspot still work in a 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500??? What do I do? What does this mean
**Help**
If I pull the chip out of 2018 suburban will my navigation and Waze still work? Thank You!
Great, i want make this with spark
Chevrolet onstar it's so invasive
did your bluetooth & cell phone work afterwords...
So I followed your video and onstar is no longer on and everything was ok for a while now when I have my iPhone connected carplay plays music but now I can hear my phone calls over the car speakers anymore but the person that I'm on the call with can't hear me 🤔 any thoughts and direction would be greatly appreciated
Will bluetooth to cell phone still work .I guess u loose factory navigation not talking about onstar nav
The OnStar board has a SIM CHIP? I want to change to my phone to pay only one internet plan.
A month ago i had taken off the dash as directed here.
And found that my 2021 is not lacated behind the radio.
2024 Equinox...yanked the 5 amp Onstar fuse. Only issue is I no longer have speaker phone with my bluetoothed phone....but bluetooth works. I can deal wit that
Does it work for all?
Dang so unplugging that mother board keeps onstar from tracking you completely?
Does Trax AWD 2019 have the same as you showed how to disable on star?
All of the GM cars should have a similar module
What about the 2020 encryption deal?
Wish I could find this for 2022 Silverado
So why not remove the antenna and wrap the BNC connector with copper tape? Why remove the whole board?
Will this stop GM dealerships from taking information
Why do all of that? Isn't it easier and still effective to just yank the fuse out?
So pretty much I have been looking for the gps and I’ve should have been looking for the onstar cable got it
Yesss
Its funny how this video is 3 years old , and now they use the information against you that they gather from onstar
RIGHT ! 👍🏻
lol
Would this work for a 2018 Camaro 2SS ?
@lackoftobac does this work for 21 tahoe?
Does pulling the fuse prevents them from tracking or do you have to take the box out and pull the on star board out??
were you able to find out ? let me know !
Say, do Toyotas have a similar system?
man I wish you had done one on a 2021 Chevy Express. I seriously want to lose the stupid buttons so I can use the space for custom switches.
Should be similar. Also a good vehicle since many are used for different reasons.
Will Bluetooth still work after removal??
Great vid , I agree don't want any body trackin me , I laughed at my car ins. saying if I let them put a tracking device in they'd give 10% discount.. NO THANX !!!
Anyway I also have a bit of a sensitivity to wireless if close by for instance in a house if I'm sitting by wifi too long i get bad headaches , And I'm buying a new car the 2022 C8 Corvette now I really don't want any wireless stuff don't want wifi, OnStar any of it
Can it al be disabled ? The 1LT has minimal so I may get that but the 2LT has alot more nice options but unfortunately has more wireless crap .. Do you think it's possible to disable all the wireless junk
Thanx brotha
Yes, the wireless junk can be disabled.
@@johnliu1897 I know they used to be disabled just going through the infotainment center and turning it off , Now im getting a 2023 corvette got pushed back from 2022 should be getting it in 8 weeks but after watching your vid Im thinking maybe it can be taking out the way you did going into the dash. Now I'm not great at taking all the junk out, so are you thinking It can be disabled as you did ? And the new vette looks a bity more complicated ..Ill pay anybody if they can disable it ..You think maybe you'd be able to walk me through disabling it ?
Thanks
Is the fuse step necessary after the OnStar chip is already removed?
No, just extra leverage
@@Derec so what happens if you just remove the fuse?
Will just unplugging the antenna be enough to disrupt onstar tracking
An antenna may not not to be required if the signal is strong enough
Dammmm wow👍
What about the 2021 Tahoe’s with the radio that has the secret compartment behind it.
I'm about 90% sure it's behind the glove compartment. I have 2015 Tahoe and that is where it was located.
Very cool video. I hate Onstar. QUESTION...did the bluetooth and phone still work in the first vehicle? I didnt see you test that. Thanks for sharing!!!
Removing the OnStar hardware will probably disable the phone connectivity
@@Derec can you use yours usb for music even without it
Current models integrated OnStar into the ECU. Good luck with Government Motors.
Where would the onstar module be located on a 2017 chevy Malibu ?
This is what I would like to know !
Behind the interior fusebox under the steering wheel you will see it just unplug it
I wanna know where it would be located on a Honda civic
Funny you did all of this and kept your XM radio service. You can be tracked with that service also. We get calls from them all the time giving us stolen car locations.
@Mr Sir Anything with a gps signal. We really don't know what all is installed in a new car. Electric vehicles will be even worse. You want be able to disable all of their devices. If the little black Helicopters want to find you they will! If your not doing something your not supposed to you don't have anything to worry about!
@@Billy.80 Actually you are wrong. Electric cars have an onboard computer that tracks everything going on in the car. and Johnny Shadetree want be able to disable it.
@@blountcountycommunications9352 that's the stupidest shit to say. "If you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about" ask Hertz who is paying people millions for having them arrested for doing nothing wrong. Or how the justices department has been militarized along with the IRS. Hope no one gave you 600 dollars this year or you could be going to jail for tax evasion.
@@safetylast911 If someone did give me $600 I pay the taxes? No jail. Follow the rules and quit worrying about conspiracy theories! If they want you it doesn't matter that your car is tracking you. They will find you! The Black helicopters know where everyone is! 👮♂💰. Merry Christmas🍆!
Doing nothing wrong won’t matter. Look at Jan. 6th prisoners. Trump supporters classified as Domestic Terrorists now.
Can still be tracked through telematic
so this only works on vehicles older than 2020?
What did you mean when you said 2020 vehicles would be encrypted? Also can you make a little more detail video of what you were doing at the end? Do you need to replace the 3 prong with a 2 prong to fully get rid of on-star?
He means that they're going to integrate OnStar with the engine computer so that it can't be removed or disabled without taking the engine offline. They already do it with modern German cars.
@@Unmannedair true I unhooked the antana and infotainment completely and OnStar still sends maintenance needed and the millage on 2022 Chevy Colorado
@@Unmannedair Interesting. You could pull the motherboard and desolder the antenna.
@@billybritt5334OnStar has a secondary antenna connection
What to do if I have a 2022 model? I was unaware of all this crap system GMC had. Nobody mentioned this to us until the unit was delivered (and paid of course). How to know if it is indeed encrypted as you say in this video? will you be doing a tutorial for new vehicles? Thanks a lot!!
Is it the same process for a 2022? Will it work ?
If you think it’s only gmc in 2022 come out from under the rock. Every vehicle will have tracking and automated shut off from here out.
I'm sure somebody will find a way to get rid of it. It just takes a little while after new year vehicles come out.
Could you be tracked from satellite radio?
The word on the street is yes
do you lose bluetooth?
I have a 2020 and would like to do this.
I tried this on my 2021 today.
The box isn’t behind the radio.
I put it back together for further thought. And im back looking for the video you made with the box located beneath all that.
But ill get back to you. And tell you what happened
Where was it?
@@wannarunem i didnt find it.
My next guess was to go behind the glove box.
But i would have had alot to deal with.
I was disgusted by all the other monitoring features it still had even if i did find the box.
So i sold it.
Older is better.
None of that.
Fair. Not for thrives. Dont want gov or hackers ablilty with tracking you I get it.
Need this for a 2020 Silverado
Did it work for u ?
HeyDerec, would you be interested in coming to Pinedale Wy? Love for you to disconnect my Onstar.
they can also remotely disable your vehicle (on purpose or on accident.) and limit your speed starting 2030.
i believe the capability to disable vehicles is already in use by onstar as seen in several cased since 2019
Do you know if auto shops will do this?
I don't think so
Onstar cannot track you without a " warrant" if onstar is off line. Legally speaking of course
What's the benifit/gain of doing this mod?
Just concerned about privacy?
Yeah literally no point
OnStar is a platform that allows your vehicle to be controlled by potential hackers
@@Derec nope.
@psychicpain66 Thats not defective at all. They are working correctly.
My insurance increased, I was wondering why, no accidents or tickets $500 increase... Asked insurance for a report they get from LexisNexis... Turns out Chevrolet/Onstar or whatever sends your driving data to insurance companies! The Datee, Time, Distance travelled, Hard braking, Hard Accelerations, High Speed Events logged and sent to your insurance company! I bet they get paid for that information as well, I will never buy another Chevy or any Car with data recording; I'll buy an older pre 2000's car if necessary.
What insurance company?
Progressive@@ClitRinger
Was you onstar account active when this happened?
Where is the box in a 2018 colorado?
Does this work for dodge?
Man this is sweet! I’m wondering if this would would work on 06 trailblazer SS I mean as far disconnecting it!.
Does this mean you can use the phone app to start truck now or is that completely out of the question?
Considering it disconnects the 4G, most likely can’t use the app to start anymore as the car no longer has a connection to the outside world so to speak
Why not just rip the GPS antenna out of the top of the truck or a van or car and be done. After the first mailed reminder, telling me how many miles I had and when the oil change was due, mine got ripped out along with a “Kompass”transducer.
Will it work for a 2019 GMC Yukon
Superbly
GM is giving or selling all our driving data to insurance companies. That raises your insurance if you have hard braking events, speeding, etc.
Will this work on a 2020 sierra elevation?
Following
So let’s say you do that and your fm /am radio still works doesn’t that mean you Can you be tracked from your radio antenna ???
I have a Chevy traverse 2021. Its a lease car. Its easy to unplug the cable under the dashboard. Problem is that i can`t use the Bluetooth if i unplug the cable. Another big problem is RADIATION especially for kids. i don`t use the service but its always on and active. That`s crazy.
Yes, I suggest using direct usb connection instead of bluetooth
Pulling the fuse takes away the mic for the radio
You spoke about the 2020 being fully encrypted please explain
2020 gmc Sierra
The ECM, which may not effect the completion of the tutorial
@@Derecmy 22 cororado has the same box and the circuit board you took out
Does this totally dismantle the 4g lte? I'd like mine turned off for health reasons.
Hi! Is it possible to connect internet in GM cars without onstar?
Theoretically, but it wouldn't be simple or easy. Specifically, you'd have to have custom electronics and firmware. AND you'd be opening you vehicle up to hackers. Wouldn't recommend.
@@Unmannedair I'm out of OnStar coverage, so it might be safely.
You don't need to go through all that crap. Just put a dummy load on the onstar's antenna connection and it will forever think it's in a dead zone.
What exactly do I need to do?
@@trentvlak Unscrew the antenna wire from the onstar module and screw on a dummy load.
Where do you fond such a thing? Can't seem to find one?
@@charlescaron3913 type dummy load into amazon
@@charlescaron3913get the same kind of connector and plug it in with out it being plugged into anything
My onstar service says when you touch the bottons "celular red is noy available". Do you know what could be the problem? Thank you...
The onstar backup battery is probably dead or has failed
Couldn't you just leave the onstar antenna unplugged?
Does the in-dash compass still work ??
Exquisitely
Why?
Audio very jumpy! But thanks for the video!
Guy from Neenah wi drove to Oshkosh and burned his business down. The police went to on star and they showed his car was at the business at time of fire. He’s in for prison now
good
I have a 2014 Chevy Camaro and all I do is remove the OnStar 7.5 fuse from the fuse box . The SiriusXM still works but there is no connection to Onstar.
The OnStar board may still be interfacing with the rest of the communications. However, you may be in the clear?
