i haven't paid for teleaid for the past year...the thing indeed doesn't work anymore, but no error msg. You just get the "you are not dialing from an authorized location please try again" reply.

my suggestion is to call the 1800 mb roadside number and tell them about the teleaid error msg and ask them to turn the error msg off for you. they'll probably ask for your VIN number etc and varify your name

I like your suggestion and will call tomorrow. If it can't be removed, I might suck it up and pay for another year.

The runaround
I had an error, and the dealer removed my Teleaid error message.
You would think that after several years of looking like fools when the customer knows better than they do, the dealerships would learn....
I found these notes
In stardiagnosis :-
Control Units -> Info. and comms. -> ICM -> Control Unit Adaptations -> Version Coding -> Optional Equipment
In the optional equipment menu you can set the following
to present or not-present depending on what you have
AUDIO, Tele-aid, Cellular Telephone, Trip Computer, Navigation
