Does anybody know if a device such as On-Star would have worked in the Kim's situation? Is it a satellite-based system or does it rely on cell towers?
Unlikely, ON-Star obtains positioning information from a GPS receiver (no transmitter) and then transmits that information over cellular wireless. If they were out of cell range, On-Star would not have helped.
