Free WiFi alert; “honey get closer to that Chrysler”
Want some free WiFi? All you have to do is a) stay within 100 feet of a Chrysler; b) be able to run fast to keep with the Chrysler or c) hang out at the Chrysler dealer where they demo this baby all day long. Or you can pay.
Yes, Chrysler is bringing a WiFi router, dubbed UConnect Web, to their cars to help differentiate themselves in the market. Coming supposedly this August as a dealer installed item with a $449 price tag and a $29 monthly. The connection service is by Autonet Mobile who has apparently been offering a service like this for the rental company Avis. How about that?
I expect Chrysler to roll this into offering diagnostics, warnings and safety fun. I also expect this to be common place in 2 years as other makers can’t afford to lose any marketshare; especially at the hands of something people are willing to fork over cash for.
I like the sound of this. Chrysler still makes cars huh?

Awesome! I’ve been keenly interested in this new emerging technology since I’ve first watched it on foxnews channel. I’m seeing a great potential for this technology which can probably drive Chrysler’s sales for 2009. Also, I’m predicting this will be the trend and most other car companies will follow suit and would not dare leave themselves behind on this.
