GM’s OnStar plans expansion in Mexico

Detroit: General Motors Co., after introducing OnStar in China in 2009, is expanding the in-car communication service into Mexico next year as it looks to add more markets in the future.

The expansion is the first move by OnStar’s new leader, Mary Chan, hired in May from Dell Inc. She is the second executive hired by Chief Executive Officer Dan Akerson to remake the automaker’s subscription service that provides accident alerts, navigation and other driver assistance.
