  • Cadillac CTS Adds WiFi System

    From GM...

    Cadillac will offer wireless internet access for its best-selling model, adding a new dimension to the passenger experience. Cadillac Wi-Fi by Autonet Mobile comes to the CTS Sport Sedan in April, giving passengers full internet access in and around the car via their laptop or WiFi device.

    The launch of Cadillac WiFi by Autonet Mobile will begin with live demonstrations at the New York International Auto Show April 10-19.

    “Consumers today are frequently searching for WiFi access wherever they may be,” said Mark McNabb, North America Vice President, Cadillac. “Adding WiFi is a natural extension of the tech features already inside the CTS, such as a 40 gigabyte hard drive with USB port, a pop-up navigation system featuring real-time traffic and weather forecasts and the exclusive ability to pause and rewind live radio.”

    Cadillac WiFi uses technology from Autonet Mobile, the world’s first Internet Service Provider designed exclusively for cars. Cadillac WiFi by Autonet Mobile turns the car into a WiFi hotspot and works with any operating system supporting any Wi-Fi enabled device. It delivers an easy-to-use and seamless internet experience, with 3G mobile technology that maintains internet connections while the car is in motion. The system can support several devices at once, enabling one passenger to update a Facebook page, while another is gaming online or watching YouTube videos, for example.

    Designed for use by passengers, the system requires no special software and achieves speeds up to 800Kbps. The dealer-installed option will retail for $499, with a monthly service subscription of $29.

            Otherwise I couldn't see paying that much to use it occasionally

                Ppph. All it is a 3G connection linked to a Wifi router. Nothing impressive. I could do that with my iPhone already, and any blackbarry you can buy a tethering plan for an extra like $30 a month anyway and hook your laptop up. And the 800kbit/second speed is standing still, not moving. You only get like 160 or less when moving which is like 20kbyte/s, also only when 3G is available.

                    i think its a nice feature to have. especially people that dont have a black berry or have an Iphone which doesnt allow you to use it as a modem. and you can just have your laptop right there. plenty of times when i have gone to NY i wished i had SOME sort of internet connection. And they're not using a standard cell phone carrier so hopefully there will be some sort of more consistent connection. But either way its better than nothing.

                          I think the best part about this is that the price is actually competitive and not outrageously priced. Normally a data plan on a phone is about an additional 30 dollars or a USB modem that you can plug into your computer is about 50ish I believe. Even though you may not get as much portability when compared to a full-fledged usb modem and even though it is cheaper you have to pay the upfront costs of the option, I think it can be very useful and the price is very good for what you get.
