Hecubus ◊ 2007-01-26 05:16	Hasn't GM allowed other companies to use OnStar? I could swear I remember Acuras have it.

Hecubus ◊ 2007-01-26 06:05	Saab is part of GM. Still, I'm fairly sure you're right (Mercedes probably has their own version of OnStar).

"Hell yes, you chickenshit! I need a location of the vehicle with license plate number 'D-SHIZNIT'!" As the driver of the Hummer does the same, you can hear "Onstar, how may I help you?" In both cases the operator is able to track down and report the vehicle's location in less than 2 seconds.

Same goes with Microsoft Sync and Sirius Satellite Radio.

Neptune ◊ 2007-12-30 04:06	How can you tell the headlamps are not "Clear"? ... its at night and the headlamps are on ... They look clear to me ... -- Last edit: 2007-12-30 04:06:59

Good point, but the mirrors you would be able to tell that theyre clear, also, it has different front bumpers than the 2003-2006 model, but i cant say 100% for sure, because i cant see the back of it
jettalover ◊ 2008-02-28 03:40	Is BMW's "On-Star" system exclusive to BMW's? What's it's name? Does BMW pay another carmaker for the use of the other carmaker's system?

pmb600 ◊ 2008-06-14 07:46	ath20wj is absolutely correct, this S600 is not a 2003 model but rather a 2001 or 2002 (S600s were not sold in the US for the 2000 model year). The lower body work is different, as are the turn signals on the side mirrors, and he is also correct about the headlights. The 2003+ S-Class models had projector style bi-xenon headlamps. These are the older "frosted" style S-Class Xenon headlamps.
