With its official launch, anyone in Canada can have the peace of mind OnStar provides for you and your family whether in your car, a friend’s car, rideshare, or just out walking.
“The Canadian Guardian team built a whole new interface that allows us to communicate with non-GM owners in the same way we do with GM vehicle owners,” said Fred Dixon, Global Connected Services Product Manager.

Below are some of the app’s highlights:
- Mobile Crash Response
- 24/7 Roadside Assistance
- Share access to critical OnStar safety and security services with up to seven of your loved ones
- Location Status
- Favorite Locations and added functionality to Location Status
- Allows members to save and share favorite locations on the app’s embedded map and receive notifications for when loved ones leave and arrive at their destination
- The Red Emergency Button
- Allows members to connect to an Emergency-Certified OnStar advisor for assistance or to report an emergency on someone else’s behalf
The OnStar Guardian subscription is available in Canada for $15 per month.
