    Question Remote Pre-Conditioning on non-US Volt/Ampera

    Is there an ability to communicate with the Volt/Ampera where OnStar is not available - Mobile App/Web site/etc?
    Is all this functionality only provided via OnStar?

    I don't know but would not think so.

    "OnStar Corporation is a subsidiary of General Motors that provides subscription-based communications, in-vehicle security, hands free calling, turn-by-turn navigation, and remote diagnostics systems throughout the United States, Canada and China. "

    They are not going to hand over the pass-key to just anyone.

    I did read somewhere about access in south-america ?

    Is there something LIKE onstar already in Aus ?

    That functionality is only provided via OnStar, which has a limited coverage area.

    There is a project called OVMS that is working on a device that will allow some communication with the car (they already have one for the Tesla).
