I just found out that you can get the unlimited data package for $20 through OnStar if you have it on your vehicle. I upgraded tonight. The wife kept using up my old data plan anyway.
Just thought you all might be interested.

that is similar to the old data plan for onstar wifi that was offered in the U.S. Now the U.S. has the unlimited plan and maybe some other monthly plans.

Is it just $20, or is it a $20 add-on to whatever they're charging for OnStar service?
OnStar uses AT&T and I believe, if I've read all the information they sent me correctly, the unlimited data is an add-on.
You can get unlimited data on AT&T on any vehicle with an OBD-II directly from AT&T with their Mobley device for $20/mo. With the right power dongles you can run the Mobley off a USB connection or a 110v adapter as well. I've done both with mine.
