Ok so compliments of the U.S. Army, I get a 2-month stay in the cloudy and rainy state of Washington. I do get a few days off here and there and it just so happens that I got 3 days off this weekend so I can attend the events in Packwood, WA. I don't know the area or their rules, nor do I have my car here, so I rented a car (tried for a Charger and got upgraded to a Cadillac DTS... hey it's a V8 RWD!) and will do my best to get there and fit in. Is anyone on this site from NWR and going this weekend that I could meet up with?

Also I'm assuming a DTS is F-stock, right? Anyone have advice for AXing a Cadillac?

Thanks in advance,

Andre

I believe that you can pull the fuse to shut off the onstar system, but I don't know which fuse that would be.
(Perhaps interior lights??) -- a quick google found this.

Recommended Precautions.
The OnStar system by GM periodically communicates with the vehicle. This periodic communication
with the vehicle has been known to disrupt the programming process. In order to prevent disruption
of the programming process, it is recommended that the OnStar system be disabled while programming
the vehicle. To temporarily disable your OnStar system in 4.8/5.3/6.0/8.1L GM vehicles, remove the
fuse(s) associated with OnStar. Please refer to the fuse section of your owner’s manual for instructions
and locations of fuse(s). The fuse panel will be under the hood of the vehicle on the driver’s side
behind the battery. In most cases there will be one (1) fuse in that fuse panel the OnStar system relies
on. See Figure A for an example. For 4.3L GM SUVs, follow the steps below to temporarily disable the
OnStar system.


When the OnStar system is successfully disabled, its indicator light on the dash or rearview
mirror will be OFF. Be sure that this light is off when the key is in the ON position (engine not running)
BEFORE programming the vehicle. This will ensure that there are no OnStar related problems.

Good Luck!
