All 2000-2003 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar� from the list above were built with Analog/Digital-Ready OnStar(R) Hardware. Some of these vehicles may have been upgraded to Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital).

Certain 2004-2005 model year vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) from the list above may have been either:

^ Originally built at the factory with Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) OnStar(R) Hardware with Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) OnStar(R) Hardware

OR

All 2006 model year and newer vehicles equipped with OnStar(R) were built at the factory with Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) OnStar(R) Hardware.

If a vehicle has Dual-Mode (Analog/Digital) OnStar(R) Hardware, then the system is capable of operating on both the analog and digital cellular networks, and will not require an upgrade in connection with the cellular industry's transition to the digital network.
