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.
• Vehicle security/proximity sensor: A sensor that detects movement in and around the vehicle when a vehicle alarm is set.
• Automatic Parking system sensor: Sensor that detect objects around vehicle to assist in parking the vehicle.
• Rearview camera display: A video display that depicts the view from the vehicle's backup camera.

Note: This OnStar FMV system is not compatible with all vehicles. OnStar FMV is certified to 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.
