Chrysler offering in-car web access later this year
Chrysler may be struggling with vehicle styling and interior quality,
but the gang in Auburn Hills sure does love the gadgetry. Sirius
satellite TV, heated and cooled cupholders, and Swivel-N-Go seating
will soon be joined by in-car Internet access. The Washington Post
reports Chrysler will utilize cell tower signals and a mobile phone
account to make the radio a WiFi port, giving passengers access to the
web. The technology will be offered as a dealer add-on for existing
models later this year, and it will be available as a factory option at
some point after that. With Chrysler bringing web connectivity to cars
and trucks this year and Ford following suit in mid-2009, it looks like access to Autoblog will soon be available everywhere.
