OnStarJS

An unofficial NodeJS library to make OnStar requests.

Use at your own risk. This is an unofficial library.

Use the Get Account Vehicles request to see which requests your vehicle supports.

Usage

Sample

Use a random version 4 uuid (there are online generators) as a deviceId.

import OnStar from "onstarjs";

const config = {
  deviceId: "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX",
  vin: "1G2ZF58B774109863",
  username: "[email protected]",
  password: "p@ssw0rd",
  onStarPin: "1234",
  checkRequestStatus: true, // When false, requests are complete when 'In Progress' (Much faster).
};

const onStar = OnStar.create(config);

onStar
  .alert({
    action: ["Flash"],
  })
  .then(() => {
    onStar.start();
  })
  .catch(e => console.log(e));

Development

Tests

Unit

yarn test:unit

Functional

These tests will execute actual requests to the OnStar API. They will perform a Get Account Vehicles request followed by a Cancel Alert request.

Because of this, the test will require actual OnStar credentials to run. To provide them, copy .env.example to .env and replace the placeholder values inside.

yarn test:functional

All

Run both unit and functional tests

yarn test

Made possible by mikenemat's work in gm-onstar-probe. Their work describing the process for remote start enabled the rest of the methods implemented here.
