How-to remove Onstar Antenna's / Wiring?
After reading this article I posted below, I really don’t want to deal with what Onstar has in “plan” for me in the future. I don’t use Onstar and don’t plan to.
Does anyone have a diagram showing Onstar’s antennas and where to unhook the data collection / GPS services? I’m not looking to just rip out or cut wires, but I’m sure there are plugs or clips somewhere to remove the wiring.
GM's OnStar now spying on your car for profit even after you unsubscribe? [UPDATE]

No reason to be a dick about it. What's so hard about giving him a link?

My post tells you where the box is, Wangspeed's link tells you which plug to pull.

You can remove your til foil hats and re-attach OnStar antennas:
OnStar bends to pressure, will not track data from canceled subscribers
Reversing its earlier decision, OnStar has issued a press release confirming it will indeed alter its Terms and Conditions policy and "will not keep a data connection to customers' vehicles after the OnStar service is canceled." Says OnStar President Linda Marshall:
We realize that our proposed amendments did not satisfy our subscribers. This is why we are leaving the decision in our customers' hands. We listened, we responded and we hope to maintain the trust of our more than six million customers.
Further, OnStar promises that it may allow customers to opt-in to such a data-tracking system in the future but will only use data in ways the customer approves. In addition to "[providing] former customers with urgent information about natural disasters and recalls affecting their vehicles", we imagine that also may include selling the information to law enforcement agencies and insurance companies.
The move comes after OnStar came under fire for tracking certain data streams related to your driving such as speed and location, even if the owner canceled the service. Feel free to read the complete press release after the break.
