What You Need to Know About Chevy’s In-Car Wi-Fi?

The Wi-Fi offered in Chevy vehicles is a real game changer for staying connected on the go. For your purposes, however, it’s actually simple to use. Through OnStar, the vehicle obtains a strong 4G LTE connection in just the same way your smartphone connects to the internet. Then, it broadcasts that signal as an in-vehicle Wi-Fi hot spot, allowing you to connect all sorts of devices to it, such as tablets, smartphones or even a laptop computer. You can pair up to 7 devices at a time, so nobody has to miss out.

The great thing about the built-in Wi-Fi in Chevy models is that it is all provided through OnStar. That means there is nothing you need to do to set it up. The capability for internet access through your car is already there. All you have to do is choose a data plan that works for you.
