Think you have a aerial problem somewhere along the line so the set is not getting a signal that it can use to locate your GPS position ,although i dont find this a problem i just stop and ask directions but if you have paid for all this fancy gear then you expect it to work and work well .Try checking the aerial connections with a multimeter for any breaks or bad connections

I have a 2020 Buick Envision I push the OnStar button but it hangs up. They told me my car isn't sending them a signal. What might it be

It is probably a bad connection on the OnStar antenna. It is that Shark Fin on the roof.

https://www.google.com/search?q=2020+buick+envision+onstar+antenna

Page 133 of the Owner Manual

Multi-Band Antenna The roof antenna is for SiriusXM, OnStar, and GPS (Global Positioning System), depending on the equipped options. Keep clear of obstructions for clear reception. If the vehicle has a sunroof, and it is open, reception can also be affected.

Where can I buy onstar fmv to installin my 2013 mkx lincoln

Hello Sandra Eldridge,

Your title says what kit you prefer... From what little I know about OnStar... "OnStar FMV" appears to be the (SMART) MIRROR
approach... My best recommendation would be to get YOUR
"FMV" from CRUTCHFIELD (see below)...

"PAIN-LESS AND WELL DONE"

I checked ontar.com and your car IS ON-STAR capable...

Sadly I always make things more complex than they need to be:
I don't think the LINCOLN "sound system" is inferior in ANY WAY... and think there has got to be a better solution than by-passing an already REALLY EXCELLENT human interface...
for a "SMART MIRROR" (FMV)... So BEFORE you choose THAT SOLUTION... I would ask you to find out WHAT SERVICES
are presently in your existing MIRROR.

CRUTTHFIELD technicians can do that for you... Phone them... Talk to them...

ELSE take it to your LINCOLN DEALER and ask what service THEY COULD equip in a new car... BECAUSE I can't park without my CAMERAS any more

(just kidding... never scuffed a tire!!).

Years ago CRUTCHFIELD offered a 3-SIXTY-3 solution for my NAVIGATOR... radio navigation system to integrate BLUETOOTH.
I was QUITE DELIGHTED to deal with their technical staff

I have felt the EXTRA SECURITY of knowing the VEHICLE is being tracked... (watched over)... and felt quite secure

I think onstar is a much safer choice than fumbling with your cell-phone trying to use siri while driving.

Hope it all works out well...

Sorry to pose another question while I'm supposed to be offering a solution.

I have installed the latest version of the Sensis GPS in my 2003 XJ8. It gives me wildly inaccurate directions at times. Sensis has told me that the fault lies with the nav system in the car not with their...

Have you calibrated the nav system - this action should be available in the nav menu. you need to move your position marker to where you actually are on the indicated map screen otherwise you could get instructions to turn left etc at wildly different points.

How can i find my car from my home computer using onstar

I believe you will have to call onstar and request the location information. They will be able to tell you the address or general location of the vehicle.
I am unaware of any other means to track the vehicle unless you report it stolen.
Good luck.

Turning off the OnStar in a 2005 TrailBlazer

The OnStar module is under the rear seat, passenger side. You should be able to just pull the connectors out of the module. Just the rectangular ones.

The dealer is thinking about the power amplifier for the Bose radio system. That's in the fender at the right rear of the car, but that's not the issue here.
