Can the 2021 Excelle activate OnStar?
2 Answers
The 2021 Excelle cannot activate OnStar because the OnStar system is not built-in for this model and cannot be bound to the owner. OnStar is an in-vehicle multimedia service system, and OnStar is the abbreviation of OnStar Information Service Co., Ltd., a joint venture established by General Motors, SAIC Group, and Shanghai General Motors on October 28, 2009. The Buick Excelle is a compact sedan launched by Buick. The 2021 Excelle 1.3T mild hybrid model has dimensions of 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1486mm in height, while the 2021 Excelle standard version measures 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1464mm in height, both being 4-door, 5-seater sedans. The side design of the 2021 Excelle remains unchanged, with smooth lines and well-proportioned styling. In terms of details, the shark fin antenna on the roof has been removed, and all models come with 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels.
When I first picked up my 2021 Buick Excelle, I activated OnStar right away, and the process was super simple. The sales guy at the dealership showed me how to scan a QR code with my phone to download the app, then press the blue button on the roof to connect with customer service. The lady on the line just asked for my ID and phone number, and the whole service was set up in five minutes. During the free period after activation, I could remotely start the AC—just tap my phone ten minutes before getting in the car during summer, and it’d be cool inside. The heated seats worked great in winter too. If you haven’t activated it yet, check the infotainment screen for the OnStar option and follow the prompts to register. For data plan renewal after expiration, the basic service costs a bit over 300 yuan a year—just pick a package based on your needs.
