I think the wrangler would be the last vehicle in the lineup to get it. Unless it appears on the mygig or something.

No joke. Just look at the bluetooth boondoggle by Crappler. Besides, I don't know if I want my jeep surfing the net!

sounds interesting. The mobile wifi hotspot. Hmm, gives wardriving a new meaning, don't ya think?

I wonder if it means you gotta have a certain cell provider... such as all jeep owners must now use sprint... or all must use AT&T for this?

Does this mean that my laptop will have full access via my Jeep?

An interesting concept that I'm sure many will investigate. Probably for a low low price of $899.99 plus usage fees and a 2 year contract.

Looks cool though

Wifi in the JK would be a neat feature. Hope they come up with something we can put in our Jeeps - I wonder how much the service plans will be.

personally, with the way Jeep puts so many restrictions on everytyhing, its not going to be a very good service.

And the last thing we need is a virus or the mygig to run even slower than it already does.

Ill stick with my iPhone for mobile internet.

I'm hearing on the newer GM/Onstar ads that they can monitor certain things about the vehicle and let you know when to bring it in for service. Could be cool as long as it doesn't get too 'Big Brother' on us.

the problem is that the the local dealership doesn't know its ass from a hot rock when it comes to jeeps. There all Crappler mechanics.

I can already surf the internet in my jeep, on the mygig screen.
