As reported here, I took a LONG drive from Walnut Creek, CA all the way up to the Seattle area last week. Thanks to a creative detour to the Oregon coast, the whole trip took a whopping 17 hours! Thanks to my Alpine 9847 and iPod I was covered with about 400 hours of music, just in case.
Since moblogging from Verizon's VX7000 doesn't seem to work, I emailed the pix from my phone to my email account and then posted them manually to this photo album.
OnStar came in handy. I was told that OnStar has about 6x the coverage range of a typical cell phone - understandable given the big attenna on the car and the extra wattage on the radio. Sure enough I took a call on my cell phone in the north california mountains and was promptly disconnected. I called them back using the OnStar calling system - and it worked great!
Next time, no detours, but at least the OnStar will work.
Did you ever get the VX7000 to upload pix to Blogger? Im getting errors!

I have the same problem with my Saturn VUE and Onstar. It also is a 2004. Do you have pictures of the installation? How did it get connected? Besides the data port what other harness connectors were needed, since all the other existing connectors are wired to the new head unit? Where did they put the additional speaker?
Thanks.
