The autumn recreation season is a time when families want to venture a bit farther. Whether it's on the way to a spot for autumn leaves or a campsite, we want everyone in the family to have a comfortable experience. In the back seat, the kids enjoy videos, while the front passenger searches for shops around the destination on their smartphone.

During such times, the data usage on smartphones becomes a concern. If multiple devices are connected via tethering, depending on the service plan, you might worry about the data capacity. That's where the Pioneer Carrozzeria "DCT-WR200D-E" comes into focus. It's a dedicated router that can turn your car into a Wi-Fi hotspot.

The biggest attraction is that data communication using Docomo's LTE network can be used without any capacity limit while driving. Since it can connect up to 5 devices simultaneously, each member of the family can enjoy the internet on their respective devices, such as tablets in the backseat or smartphones in the passenger seat.

The pricing for the communication service "docomo in Car Connect" is 550 yen per day, 1650 yen for 30 days, and 13,200 yen for 365 days. The ability to choose based on usage frequency, from daily commutes to weekend drives, is also appealing. Even non-Docomo users can utilize it if they have a d-account. After starting the engine, it automatically connects to Wi-Fi, so there's no need to perform the connection operation each time.

It is not equipped with a battery, making it resistant to heat and cold.

It is worth noting its design specifically for in-vehicle use. The unit does not include a battery and operates on USB power supplied by the car. This allows it to be installed inside the vehicle without worrying about battery expansion or degradation. The operating temperature range is -10 to 60℃. Designed to consider the heat of summer and the cold of winter, it is also compact, weighing only 60g. However, it only supports the 2.4GHz band for Wi-Fi. In areas such as mountainous regions where Docomo's signal may be weak, the communication may become unstable.

Driving with family is an important memory, even the travel time to the destination. The children in the back seat enjoy their favorite videos while the adults listen to music and admire the scenery. If we can spend such time, even long-distance travel could become a different kind of enjoyment. A car environment where you can spend time without worrying about data consumption is appealing for those who often go out with family. How about reviewing your car’s communication environment for this autumn's leisure drives?
