Ford Motor Co. is offering customers a way to add connectivity features such as remote start, remote lock and wi-fi access to older Ford and Lincoln vehicles that weren’t wired for them.
Called Ford SmartLink, the device plugs into a car’s OBD II diagnostic port and provides speedy 4G LTE connectivity that can turn the vehicle into a hotspot capable of hosting as many as eight smartphones, tablets or laptops simultaneously.
Other capabilities include remote alerts to a smartphone about a vehicle’s location, operational health and security. Ford will begin marketing the device through U.S.-based dealerships this summer. The company did not announce pricing.
