Chrysler To Offer Sprint Hotspot
- Detroit Bureau, Wednesday, August 8, 2012 9:40 AM
Chrysler is teaming up with Sprint to upgrade the maker’s Uconnect infotainment system, adding embedded features that will turn the vehicle into a “hot spot on wheels.” The U.S. automaker was one of the first to offer telematics technology but, in recent years, slipped behind competitors such as Ford with its popular Sync technology. The new Uconnect system will add a variety of features, including voice-operated texting and the ability to connect a laptop computer or smartphone to the vehicle’s built-in WiFi hotspot.
