rearview mirror in select vehicles and includes built-in OnStar, Bluetooth technology,
integrated speaker, and external microphone. The OnStar FMV enables drivers with

connectivity services of OnStar to their vehicle. OnStar is an in-vehicle safety

Vehicle Compatibility: In order for
OnStar FMV to operate properly, it must be compatible with the vehicle in which
it will be installed. For a vehicle to be deemed compatible with OnStar FMV, a
wide variety of vehicle attributes and characteristics must be considered. For a
variety of vehicles, OnStar's team of engineers evaluate certain attributes and
characteristics, including the vehicle model year, vehicle size, vehicle weight,
windshield angle, the way in which the original mirror is mounted to the
windshield and remaining clear space around the OnStar FMV mirror once it is
installed. If, after consideration of these and other attributes and
characteristics, it is determined that installation of the OnStar FMV is
appropriate and does not compromise certain features in your original mirror, it
is considered compatible. OnStar FMV is not compatible with your
vehicle if its installation would disable any of the following features.
- Crash-avoidance camera: A camera that detects
potential crash situations and will apply braking pressure to avoid
a collision.
- Passenger airbag/seatbelt indicator: Indicates
if the passenger airbag is ON or Off, based upon sensing systems
directed to the front passenger side seating area.
- Radar-based cruise control sonar array: A sonar
sensor that can sense when to signal other system to apply braking
pressure when the vehicle is in cruise control to slow the vehicle
down to maintain a specified distance with the vehicle in front.

that detects movement in and around the vehicle when a vehicle
alarm is set.

work on more than 90 million vehicles sold since 2000.
(Vehicles made before 1981 are not compatible with OnStar
FMV). Check the compatibility of your vehicle
here.
Potential Mirror Feature Losses Due To OnStar FMV Installation:
Even if OnStar FMV is considered compatible with your
vehicle, its installation may disable or affect the functionality of some
features of your vehicle. If a feature in your vehicle is not dependent on a
mechanical, electrical, or sensor system in your current mirror, it is unlikely
that that feature will be affected by the installation of OnStar FMV. A list of
potential feature losses (depending on your vehicle's mechanical, electrical, or
sensor systems) appear below.

the dimming of lights from behind your vehicle in your mirror as needed.
- Compass: A device in the mirror that
displays the direction of magnetic north in the mirror or in other vehicle
locations.

microphone used to detect audio commands for system like Ford SYNC, Uconnect,
