Cadillac CTS to Get WiFi
Autonet Mobile announced today that starting in April, its in-car WiFi internet access system will be available in the Cadillac CTS. Already available in a number of Chrysler products via its UConnect Web option, the system uses a wireless in-car router, and the optional setup will provide internet access to anyone in the car via Autonet's 3G and 2G cellular service. The CTS will feature Autonet's new, more compact router (below), which slims down thanks to an internal WiFi antenna.
The public will get its first look at the new WiFi setup in the CTS at the upcoming New York Auto Show (April 10-19), but our tech guru Doug Newcomb has already taken a spin
in an Autonet-equipped car. The Autonet system is designed to create a local WiFi hotspot, allowing any internet enabled device (laptop, iPhone, gaming system) to jack in and access the Web while you're on the road.
Web-surfing capabilities will join Caddy's CTS lineup in April, and monthly access plans will start at $29. If interested, see your local Cadillac dealership and ask for the "Cadillac WiFi by Autonet Mobile" option.

It won't be long before you can buy one of these boxes for $200 (initially) that connects to any car.
