Can you just disconnect the onstar?

Never had a problem with my Onstar, I find it hard to believe that what is basically a phone drained your battery.

onstar cracks me up. i smashed my skid plate on a rock out wheeling one time. onstar kicked on and said "collision detected, please hold"... then a guy came on the line and asked if everything was ok. had to explain to him that we were out wheeling and everything was fine. ive never paid for the onstar service so i was a little confused. that crap was sure funny though.

It can be disconnected just have to find the module. I had to disable it on my wife's vehicle because it kept coming on randomly while driving.
