$79 Monthly Charge from Chrysler Digital for Mobile Internet Access
I just talked to friend of mine and he said he is now being charged 79.00 per month for being able to access dealer connect on his smart phone.....even if he does not have one! Can some of you guys check your statements and see if you are being charged. Is it more expensive for Chrysler to have you hook up with a mobile device over a regular computer? I'm thinking its a profit center. 79.00 X 2300 dealers is 181,700.00 each month or 2,180,400.00 a year.

I created a new thread and moved the above posts so this topic wouldn't get lost and it would be easier for our members and guests to find via a Google Search.

I recently read that mobile access now represents over 7% of all Internet traffic and that figure is expected to grow significantly as smartphones become more popular and more powerful. Concerning your growth in mobile traffic for your Chrysler Dealership Website, is that information easy for Chrysler dealers to access? I wonder how many Chrysler dealers know how much of their web traffic originates from mobile phones? |

2. Analytics 3. Leads 4. Origin Trends The reports (analytics) section is very thorough… the kind of weird thing here … all the analytics from 2011 concerning mobile web traffic is now gone! The traffic reports are there for 2012 for mobile web traffic… but for some reason when you search “Last Year” the graph reports area where Mobile Web normally is, is now empty. ??? |

Concerning accessing a dealer's Chrysler website via my smartphone, I've never done that. If you notice a visit to your website from a Droid X from the Phoenix area, it was me... |

I'm betting that $79/month probably provides Chrysler with a 90% profit margin but I guess that's just par for the course. |
