WIFI Hotspot

I want to install a device to make my vehicle WiFi hot active. Has any one done that? My 2014 W166 is not equipped with WiFi. Is it possible to up grade to WiFi? what would be involved. I heard that Auto Mobile Net may have the device needed.

Thanks for your imput

Why not just get a Verizon hotspot and put it in the glovebox

Agreed, but task was make car as WiFi spot, speaking on portability, any phone can be a hotspot now, so what is the point getting another portable device if you have one already?

Just turn on your mobile tethering and you are good. No need to buy anything as you already have the best wifi hotspot provider on your pocket.
