OnStar® Personal Calling

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Buick LaCrosse and 2005 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The hands-free, OnStar® Personal Calling (OPC) cellular phone feature is an additional option to the OnStar® system. This feature is already embedded within the vehicle communication interface module (VCIM); however, it must be activated by an OnStar® advisor. This is done most often during the initial OnStar® configuration, if the home location of the vehicle is in a geographic area where OPC is available. In the event this feature is not enabled, customers may connect to the OnStar® Call Center by pressing the blue OnStar® button, and asking an advisor if OPC is available in their area. Users of the Generation 5 OnStar® system can verify the system has been configured for OPC by pressing the Answer/End Call button, waiting for the system to respond "OnStar Ready" then speaking "dial". If the system responds "phone unavailable" the system has not been configured for OPC. All other responses confirm that OPC has been enabled.
