On-Star is a GM thing, offering different services by subscription. I think you'll find most GM radio options have the capability, and the few that don't have more than On-Star unavailable, things like no discs, or mp-3s. So to cut the price you have to give up more than just On-Star.

You might save money by deleting a radio that does a hands free hook up from your phone to your carrier. I don't think the manufacturer makes money on that after they sell you the car.
A friend bought a new Mustang and all the radio options do that... and it sucks. The next up sound system was part of a package with back-up camera and stuff, costing almost three grand more.
