I read that they can't do anything with OnStar anymore, since the 3G network it uses is all but gone.

That doesn't upgrade the radios in older cars, but I guess new cars have new radios. Can you buy a car without OnStar? I've never used that service except for one time, for a year, because my car came with a free trial. Within that entire year I used it twice.

I think at this point basically all GM vehicles in the last 20 years have come with OnStar installed, and everything in the last 10 years since the switchover to LTE has had it.
