3500 Sierra Denali navigation system

Just purchased my new 2015 Sierra. Have a couple of questions on the Navigation system.
1. The Truck is equipped with the navigation system as well as onstar. If I do not keep onstar will I loose the navigation system as well. I can not find anything that says the 2 are tied together.

2. When using the navigation system it has a little message near the top left hand corner with the Radio station info in it. This appears even if the radio is off or on silent. I don't seam to know if you can even turn the radio completly off. How can I get rid of that.

Thanks
  • Oh, and don't forget that even if you let the OnStar expire, the ability to use the app to lock/unlock doors, remote start, is still good for 5 years.
  • #1 - Your 2015 is a different design than my 2011, but cancelling Onstar will still allow the navigation to function. You can still (painfully) enter addresses or find POI. Onstar offers similar/redundant voice guidance as well as a service to send info/destinations to your car from either a cell phone app or person you talk to.
  • The two are not tied together, if you get rid of OnStar you still have Nav.

    Not sure on the second part, I will have to play with it a bit.
