The new Audi A8\u2019s technological portfolio expands with an optional accessory that offers mobile internet access for passengers. The system provides Wi-Fi connections for up to eight devices, and uses WPA2 encryption to keep your data private.<\/p>\n

Connecting to the outside world requires a SIM card with a data plan\u2014the one from your BlackBerry, for example\u2014or tethering of a\u00a0Bluetooth-enabled phone to the A8\u2019s infotainment system. There\u2019s no additional fee on top of what your wireless carrier charges for data use.<\/p>\n

According to the folks at Audi, details about the system’s U.S. availability and pricing have yet to be determined. However, they say the mobile internet option will very likely be offered on American A8s.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t afford the A8\u2019s price tag but want to surf on the road, in-car internet is also available with the latest versions of Ford Sync<\/a> and via dealer-installed accessories in Chrysler vehicles<\/a> and the Cadillac CTS<\/a>.<\/p>\n
