If you are in the market for a 2016 Buick Enclave, GM gave you another reason to wan t it. It now sports OnStar 4G LTE connectivity. It includes a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, which can be used simultaneously by up to seven devices.
The Enclave’s connectivity upgrade brings 4G LTE and the Wi-Fi hotspot to the entire 2016 Buick model range, from Encore and Verano to Regal and LaCrosse – and the all-new Cascada convertible. The Wi-Fi hotspot is on whenever the vehicle is on and it comes with a three-month/three-gigabyte data trial.
“Customers’ daily lives are so entwined with personal devices, so the addition of OnStar 4G LTE and its integral Wi-Fi hotspot is a feature they will rely on,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Buick. “It allows busy people to stay connected throughout the day and provides another outlet for passenger entertainment on long trips.”
On top of the three month of free wi-fi trailer, six months of OnStar Directions and Connections service is standard, as well. OnStar’s RemoteLink Mobile App allows smartphone users to control vehicle functions, access vehicle information and send directions directly to the vehicle. An opt-in service called FamilyLink allows subscribers to stay connected to loved ones by checking the location of their vehicle online or by signing up for vehicle location alerts.
The five Years of OnStar Basic Plan includes RemoteLink Key Fob Services, letting drivers remotely start and lock/unlock a car, if properly equipped, as well as activate the horn and lights from anywhere with a data connection.
Plus there is OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics which runs monthly checks of a vehicle’s engine, transmission, antilock brakes, etc. Dealer Maintenance Notification, which sends diagnostic report directly to a preferred dealer, makes service scheduling simple.
