WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Isuzu Ascender, 2007 GMC Envoy, 2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, and 2007 Buick Rainier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    IMPORTANT: The vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) has a specific set of unique numbers that tie the module to each vehicle. These numbers, the 10-digit station identification and the 11-digit electronic serial number, are used by the National Cellular Network and OnStar® to identify the specific vehicle. Because these numbers are tied to the vehicle identification number of the vehicle, you must never exchange these parts with those of another vehicle.
