    I've seen the commercial. I'm just waiting for you to ask a third time.

    Heck, why pay $5 for every 200 MB (plus on-star charges) when I have unlimited I-net through my phone?

    Even running 48-states and Canada in my truck, it was EXTREMELY rare for me not to have service (Verizon) ... but if I ever did, texting always worked for some silly reason. I never could figure that out ... I'd have no bars and "no service" would be plastered across my screen, but I could always text. Anyway, I'll skip all those charges just to guarantee I'll have i-net when I don't have it once every 13 years.

    The SMS system runs on a separate bandwidth than voice........and takes far less of it to function.

    That is no comparison or reasoning of why you'd run Wi-Fi in your automobile ......

    I guess payin' for sumpin' I never need I suppose. Or payin' monthly for sumpin' I "might" need every 10 years or so. How's that?

    The big selling point in their commercials is so the kids can play their internet based video games in the back seat and not pester mom and dad. (spoiled brats!)

    Which means if you lived in Thailand and was responsible for all those children you spawned over there, you'd have a Chevy with wifi

    Well, Good hunting won't load at the lake. Now that's not a big thing, but it'a a thing. I've also noticed, when I'm in a tight spot farming, even tho I have good radar, I can switch to my truck hot spot and get a better view. What I have now is free, not sure what I'll have do when it runs out, but I can see some advantages of it.

    I can see where some could use/need it. I'm just givin' you buttheads a hard time. The way I understand it, you have to pay the On-Star subscription and the wi-fi runs an extra $5 for every 200 MB. I believe you get something like a 90-day free trial with the new car. We have the same on our new 'Yota with Sirius ... sumpin' we don't really need.

    We have elebenty-bazillion radio stations to choose from between the Tampa & Orlando markets ... there ain't much we can't pick up for free. Besides, I really don't listen to the radio much while driving ... if anything, I'll slide in a CD.

    You don't get Willies Roadhouse with all the REAL country music. And I like to be able to drive from here to wherever and never have to change a channel!

    Yes.

    And my reception is just that much better, knowing that you aren't involved even as a customer!
