2011 Subaru Outback Goes 3G, Wi-Fi Router Option now

The automaker announced it will now present a mobile Wi-Fi router as an option for its 2011 outback. Much similar to Chrysler's UConnect Web, Subaru's hotspot is based upon Autonet's in-car router, which taps into a 3G network. Speeds can average everywhere between 400 kbps and 1.2 mbps, which is ideal for light web surfing, e-mail, or listening to internet radio stations. Up to 20 people can distribute the Wi-Fi connection, so long as their devices are within 150 feet of the router.

According to Subaru, the router can be installed also at the port or at your local dealer. Although you could fit an Autonet router on your own (and in any Subaru model, no less), adding it to a 2011 Outback in this fashion allows it to be considered a genuine Subaru accessory, meaning it's covered by a Subaru-backed warranty. Better so far, Subaru will give the first three months of 3G service at no extra cost.

Opting for the router will include $499 to the Monroney of your new Outback, along with a one-time activation fee of $35. After the first three months, suppose to shell out approximately $29 a month to retain in-car 3G service.
