    Tried searching, no real luck. I'm trying to determine if my 2018 ORP has the capability stock to have the wifi. If not, what's the best route to do so? I'm an Insurance agent, and rountinely meet clients in remote areas. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    Best option might be like one of those sync up and drive modules from a wireless carrier (I think sync up is TMobile, not sure what other carriers call it). Plugs into the obdii, and one of the features is a WiFi hotspot. I used one when I was using that t9 headunit thing. It’s convenient because it’s out of sight/out of the way, and the port keeps it charged and all.

    Other option would be a standard hotspot device; but then just need to figure out where to keep it, and needing to have it plugged into a charger all the time.

    Third option is to hotspot off your phone; but that can be a pain if you’re also using your phone for calls, CarPlay/android auto, or navigation. Also drains your battery pretty quick.

    I know some of the Toyota models in 2018 had WiFi connectivity through AT&T or Verizon. I just didn't want to go out and get something if it's already on there if that makes sense. I'll certainly look into option 1. Phone hotspot and mobile hotspot wouldn't work for what I'd need it for.
