Onstar provides a number of things like emergency services, navigation, diagnostics and other things. You can find out all about it on their website: onstar.com

Because the roof is curved, the tip of the antenna actually sits at the same height as the tallest point on the van.
So do all these things come with a new van or is it a option that you buy separately?
Like I said before my cell phone has no problem working in a car so I don't know why I need a separate antenna for a phone to work. To me the look of a little Black Finn on the roof of the van looks stupid.

I don't really notice it. Not that I bought my van for its looks.

The first thing I'd do is take it off. It's not needed where I'm at. I don't need navigation a separate car phone, emergency services ect. I live in a place where it's a hour from one side to the other.

Nice. I always liked the Ansen style rims. Polished aluminum, or lacquered?

Yeah pretty happy to get them for $500. Is that the name? Ansen? they are polished aluminum.

I knew this was an old post and that the OP might not see it.

$500 is great. Polished aluminum is the best.
It looks like a variation on Ansen
