Many of us enjoy staying constantly connected to the internet wireless through a variety of devices everywhere they go, from home routers to cell phones and mobile broadband cards in computers. Now you can have a wireless connection to the internet through your Sync equipped Ford car as well. But Ford has upped the ante on how people get access to the internet. Currently many automakers like GM, Chrysler, and BMW offer a wireless internet connection solution that requires hardware purchase and install and its own monthly access fees. General Motors new Chevrolet Wi-Fi by Autonet Mobile requires a $199 dollar hardware component (after $200 mail in rebate), install, and a $29 monthly fee on top of that for 1.5 mbps connection. Ford’s Microsoft Sync system will allow you to connect though any wireless internet device that you many already own by simply plugging it in to the USB port provided in the vehicle already. So for those on the go who already have a wireless broadband USB device through their telecommunications carrier they can just plug in and have wireless internet. Sync will be able to recognize a wide range of cards and store multiple cards from you and your friends, this is a new push by Ford to keep people connected to their cars and draw in a younger buying crowd. More details to be released at CES in January.
