Anyone out there have an OnStar? In our 3rd issue we're going to have a lot car projects and GM's OnStar system seems to have a ton of things you could do. This project looks really promising-- "Interfacing into OnStar's GPS". After some modifications (adding a series interface) plug in a PC and grab the GPS coordinates. Might be cool to tie that in to a war driving app or a slurping up some google map data with a high speed connection. Perhaps I can rent a car with OnStar and tinker. Any way, email, AIM/iChat or Skype me if you have one.
