Almost exactly a month later and another dead battery.
After a jump start the BlueStar device was triggering a VERY bright Red LED on the OnStar panel and would not sync to my phone. Another clue, when it was working, the green light "on led" on the OnStar panel, was VERY faint... you could only tell that the unit was working at night. During the day it was so faint that it looked to be off.
When calls were completed the red "in use" LED was also extra bright...
I have removed the unit from my car and the battery is fine again.
What did I do wrong? Any ideas?
RED LED is always brighter than Green. But I agree, your symptoms are strange. After the car goes to sleep, the unit should shut down and go to low power mode. You can verify this by loss of connection to the cell, and mirror leds and backlight (hard to see in daytime) go off. If this is not happening, something could be wrong with unit.
Send email to tech support and we can set up an RMA to take a look at it for you.
