OnStar and Buick Connected Services

Buick now offers three years of the OnStar and Buick Connected Services Premium Plan for select 2022 and 2023 Buick models, which includes the Connected Vehicle Plan and the OnStar Safety and Security Plan.

The plan includes all OnStar’s Safety and Security services, including the Guardian app. It also includes unlimited In-Vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot data for up to seven devices and three months of SiriusXM. Owners will also gain access to in-vehicle apps, including Amazon Alexa Built-In, NCAA March Madness, and more, wh

With this plan, owners can also access roadside assistance and reap the benefits of OnStar’s Automatic Crash Response, which uses built-in sensors to alert an OnStar advisor if a crash is detected. If this situation is deemed dire enough, Injury Severity Prediction allows Advisors to let First Responders know if there were possible injuries and to respond.

In addition, owners will be able to check in on their Buick’s vehicle status, including their fuel level, tire pressure, and more, through their smartphone. Then, they can set service appointments and access diagnostics, if necessary.

Once the three years have concluded, owners can choose to subscribe to the Premium Plan or another paid OnStar plan. For more information on the plans, owners can visit https://www.onstar.com/us/en/home.

The New, Convenient MyBuick Mobile App

Another perk of owning a new Buick is the easy-to-use MyBuick app. You can do everything through the app, from unlocking/locking your vehicle’s doors to checking its fuel level.

The remote commands include:

  • Start and Stop: With the press of a button, you can start your Buick. This is especially convenient for those cold Kentucky winters when the last thing you want is to step into a freezing car.
  • Lock and Unlock: You can lock and unlock your Buick’s doors remotely from anywhere.
  • Sound Horn, Flash Lights: If you’re like most people, and regularly forget where you park, just flash your lights or sound your horn through the MyBuick app to find it.
  • Send-To-Navigation: Buick makes it easy to plan your trip ahead of time by providing an option to send a destination from your smartphone directly to your Buick’s Navigation system through the MyBuick app.

You can also schedule service, locate your Buick, check your Buick’s fuel level, tire pressure, oil life, and manage your hotspot’s name and password. Buick also provides access to MyBuick Rewards, insights on your driving behavior, how-to videos, and vehicle diagnostics through the app.

Seamless Phone Integration

Buick made it easier than ever to connect your phone to your vehicle. All you have to do is plug in your vehicle’s USB ports and Apple CarPlay or Android Auto will take over, putting your content on your Buick’s infotainment center. Some Buicks even come equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for a hands-free experience.
