Exclamation Aftermarket OnStar Control box location

I bought my 12 Impala with an aftermarket OnStar system. I was told the unit was in the trunk. Not in the trunk. Checked it all over. I need to replace the back up battery in the unit.

Someone give me an idea where to look?

Thank you!
John

Jim874 :

Your 2011 HHR should come standard with the OnStar hardware already installed. To activate your system, simply press the OnStar button inside the vehicle and tell the activation specialist that you wish to activate your subscription. If your vehicle does not have OnStar hardware in it, you can check vehicle compatibility here : http://bit.ly/17fviGC. Let me know if you have any questions.

jim874 Welcome to the forum

Are you the original owner or is it used?
Its been my experience that some rental cars may not include the OnStar equipment and sometimes also lack the satellite radio features, particularly on the economy size vehicles...
