Does OnStar include WiFi?
It’s kind of amazing to think that not too long ago, the idea of having WiFi in our homes was pretty wild — and now we can have it in our cars, too! Is it the kind of cutting edge technology you’ll only find in the super high-end models in our line-up like the Cadillac Escalade? Well, you can certainly get it in your Escalade, but it’s also available in almost every 2015 Buick, GMC, and Cadillac model that we have. If you’ve ever wanted to know, “Does OnStar include WiFi?“, the answer is that as of the 2015 model year, most GM vehicles will include WiFi capability, which means you can subscribe or unsubscribe to the actual WiFi service depending on your needs at a given time.
Every year, Popular Science magazine comes out with a “Best of What’s New” list, honoring those innovations that “surprise and amaze” the judges. From thousands of entrants, Popular Science chooses just one hundred winners to represent the best of what’s newly available in science and technology that will improve the lives of consumers. We’re proud to be offering OnStar’s high-speed 4G LTE connectivity which allows for WiFi hotspots in just about all of our 2015 vehicles.
More about the WiFi hostpot: When you buy the vehicle, you get your first three months/3GB of data included as a free trial subscription. That way you can determine whether the WiFi hotspot is something you and your passengers will get enough use from. There are flexible plan options for you from there, starting from as low as $5. You’ll be able to make one-time or monthly subscription data purchases with ease.
You and your passengers will be able to use up to seven mobile devices at a time. so whether it’s a tablet, smartphone, or even a laptop in the backseat, you’ll have the connectivity you want no matter where you are.
