Default My Onstar just stopped working. Anyone have this problem?

My personal calling/communication (white dot) button stopped working 3 months ago, but now the green light has turned to red and none of the buttons work. I will bring it up at the next service in 2.5K miles. I just just hope they don't have to tear the headliner/roof to fix it. Anyone have this happen?

Default Crap, bodyshop disconnected my battery and my OnStar gives me the red light now...

What a POS bodyshop... I've been back at least 7 times for various paint/door alignment/re-paint issues. Hopefully they won't have to replace my unit.
