Select GM Models to Get Wi-Fi

GM will offer dealer-installed Autonet routers in select SUV and truck models. This comes a year after Chrysler began offering the same service.

The installation will cost $500 as well as $29 a month for 1 GB of service (service cuts out if you surpass 1 GB). The signal reaches up to 150 feet around the vehicle, but there will be no encryption so beware of Wi-Fi leeches.

Chrysler was the first automaker to offer Autonet routers in its vehicles over a year ago, and Volkswagen jumped on board this August, offering router docking stations in the Routan minivan.

Autonet installations will be available starting this month, but you can also order it from GM’s accessories website. Keep in mind, this is only an option in the “new GM” lineups of GMC, Chevy, Buick and Cadillac.
