Wi-Fi hotspot in car

Harvey1512 · Mar 5th, 2017, 17:18

Is there any point to this? Anyone have it? Comments welcomed.

I've thought of doing this. Make it much easier to watch movies while I'm driving!

No, really, maybe for sharing a connection between the kids.....

Absolutely no point that i can see - I have actually found that a few bits of the tech that Volvo have installed in the car are pointless for me - this being one, another being the voice control and most certainly internet browsing.

Why I ask myself; and even then I still stumped as to what use they are meant to be.

If you believe the ad's Harvey it will make you look cool and help pull the girls!
In my day a rusty Mini or Ford Escort was enough.

I think it is supposed to help keep your children quiet, WiFi normally does that anyway.

With how wide spread 4G is and most phones have built in hotspots, I personally wouldn't bother.

Easier to use your phone 'wifi' and share this.
