USA - The 2018 Honda Odyssey, now with a rear roof mounted internal screen to steam with.

  • Odyssey with 4G LTE Wi-Fi offers unlimited data for $20/month
  • Odyssey owners can stream video and music content and browse the web
The all-new 2018 Honda Odyssey fulfills its mission to keep everyone in the family happy, in part by being the first minivan to offer 4G LTE in-vehicle Wi-Fi to support streaming video, music and more. 
Owners of the 2018 Odyssey Elite and Touring trims in the U.S. can now purchase both prepaid1 and postpaid2 unlimited data plans from AT&T for as low as $20 month. These data plans will take the Odyssey's in-car connectivity experience to a new level, where on-the-go, in-vehicle entertainment is nearly limitless.
AT&T data plans enable Odyssey passengers to stream video content to the all-new 10.2-inch, ceiling-mounted Rear Entertainment System with DVD, CD and Blu-ray™ disc capability. In addition, the available in-vehicle 4G LTE with data capability allows for internet radio, web browsing and more on up to seven devices – enough for the whole family.
The AT&T data plans are available on the Odyssey Touring and Elite models and include a 3-months/3GB complimentary trial3, followed by the customer-paid subscription plan.
"As any parent can tell you, keeping everyone connected is a big part of modern family happiness," said Jeff Conrad, Senior Vice President, Automobile Division, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "With our new CabinWatch™ and CabinTalk™ technologies, reconfigurable Magic Slide™ seats and 4G LTE Wi-Fi, the new Odyssey is all about keeping everyone connected and comfortable."
Honda is the most recent automaker to offer these data plans for in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspots. Both the prepaid and postpaid plans are already available to 2018 Honda Odyssey owners.
"Honda owners are some of the most loyal customers in the world and we're pleased to support them by helping create an even better travel experience with unlimited data2 for their vehicles," said Joe Mosele, vice president, Internet of Things Solutions, AT&T. "By accessing the internet through AT&T's wireless network, passengers now can enjoy all of their content and endless entertainment on the go."

The Cadillac CT6 features industry-leading technology, including the available rear seat infotainment system.

  • BUILT-IN WI-FI HOTSPOT AND HDMI INPUTS ALLOW FOR EFFORTLESS VIDEO STREAMING

The 2016 Cadillac CT6 features an indulgent interior and industry-leading technology, including the available rear seat infotainment system that further elevates the back seat experience
Headlining the advanced capability of the CT6’s rear seat infotainment system are the HDMI and USB ports located on the front of the rear center seat or in the rear seat center armrest. 
By utilizing these ports in combination with the vehicle’s built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi network, owners can use devices such as Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV Stick or Apple TV to stream internet content directly (such as Netflix, Hulu or YouTube) to the rear seat screens. 

The ports can also be used to mirror device displays via the HDMI port or to play media stored locally on a drive.
The rear seat infotainment system includes two independent, articulating 10-inch-diagonal HD screens. The screens have been designed to seamlessly integrate into the CT6’s cabin and retract into the front seat backs when not in use. 
The screens tilt to make viewing easier and will remember that position until set to a new one. Passengers can play Blu-ray DVDs, view media information, see what is on the front CUE screen and adjust the rear massage function. (Rear seat massage on Platinum models only.)
The rear seat infotainment system is standard on the 2016 Cadillac CT6 Platinum trim; it is available as part of the Rear Seat Package on CT6 Luxury and Premium Luxury models.
All Cadillac models, including the CT6, come standard with OnStar 4G LTE connectivity with Wi-Fi hotspot that can connect to up to seven devices. 
OnStar 4G LTE provides a mobile hub for drivers and passengers to stay connected. The hotspot is on whenever the vehicle is on and comes with a three-month/three-gigabyte data trial. 
4G LTE is the most current and fastest mobile data network — 10 times faster than 3G. And OnStar 4G LTE offers stronger, broader coverage than smartphones on the same network.
For front seat passengers, the 10.2-inch CUE screen can be used to play media from USBs or Blu-ray DVDs when the vehicle is in Park. Cadillac CUE also provides owners a smart and simple way to access both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. 
A “Projection” icon will appear on the CUE screen to enable simpler, easier access to key smartphone functions, including navigation, contacts, hands-free text messaging and select applications supported by Apple or Google.
