On December 14, 2009, Chevrolet followed the trend between US car manufacturers and added roving Internet access to its cars.
An after-sale option of an Autonet router, providing 1.5Mbps connection, is now available for various Chevrolet models: Avalanche, Equinox, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe and Traverse. The option shares a 3G link over a local Wi-Fi hotspot, the same as the Chrysler option; passengers and other people within a 150-foot radius can benefit from this connection.
The service needs to be installed by the dealer, being priced at $29 per month. The router will initially cost $199 for a two-year contract, but only if it’s bought before December 31st, 2009. Otherwise, its price will be $399.
