Volkswagen Routan to feature Wifi from Autonet Mobile

12 Jun 2009

Autonet Mobile and Volkswagen have teamed up to improve the minivan's image. According to Autonet's agreement, the company will equip the VW Routan with its in-car internet service uconnect web, already available to Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep owners.

Starting this month, over 600 Volkswagen dealerships in the US will offer Routan owners uconnect as an additional feature, just in time for summer family road trip season.

Becoming a WiFi hotspot through Autonet Mobile's support, the Routan offers every pessenger a reliable and easy-to-use internet access for the first time in Volkswagen's history. Passengers can bring along their own WiFi enabled devices such as netbooks and even gaming consoles.

According to VW CEO, Mark Barnes, Volkswagen is committed to delivering vehicles that optimize and enhance their digital customers' lifestyle. "Internet access is a clear benefit to our customers. We're excited to work with Autonet Mobile to bring connectivity to our Routan customers."
