Ok for those insterested I just did a current draw test on my 05 Avalanche with the following setup

Autopage 855LCD w/shock sensor
GM-U7 data buss interface
1x Battery back up siren

Autopage in valet                 35ma
Autopage transmitting             65+ma (meter responese slow)
GM-U7 data interface               5ma
GM-U7 in programing mode          15ma
Battery backup siren              32ma
Battery backup siren turn "off"   23ma

Autopage, battery back, GM-U7     71mA

2005 Avalanche w/Onstar and BOSE stereo

"ACC" w/radio on                    4amps (4000mA)
"ACC" w/radio off                   3.7amps(37000mA)
RAP w/radio on                      4amps
RAP w/radio off                     3.7amps
Door open w/dome lights off        3.1amps
IGN on                             14amps

Appears the onstar turns the radio on when door opened or something. Automatic 4amps +/- draw.

Unless I missed something (all alarm fuses pulled) the truck pulls 50ma without an alarm.
