We're TRACKING YO ASS Feature!

Wanna talk about big brother watching you to the 10th degree! There is a "secret" passive listening mode so unwanted people can eavesdrop on your converstation whenever they please without you knowing.

_________________________________________________

From the WallStreet Journal:
GM cars equipped with OnStar are supposed to be the leading edge of safety and technology. OnStar has run a recent blitz of commercials citing helpless motorists calling in with every type of emergency, from a heart attack to locking the keys inside the car. In the advertising world, OnStar reacts quickly by sending help or even unlocking the car. However, buried deep inside the OnStar system is a feature few suspected ? the ability to eavesdrop on unsuspecting motorists. The FBI found out about this passive listening feature and promptly served OnStar with a court order forcing the company to give it access. The court order the FBI gave OnStar was not something out of the Patriot Act involving international terrorism or national security but a simple criminal case.

With this being the case, not only could the FBI track and eavesdrop but also criminal organizations as well as business competitors. Big Brother is out there, it's your decision whether to let him in or not.
