It's no different than any of the Sirius XM value added services that get disabled after a year of ownership. In all likelihood BMW didn't engineer the Car Play unit and the ODMs pricing model is per deployment. I'd pay $80 a year for Car Play that works right.

The difference is that with Sirius, you're paying for the continued use of the satellites circling the globe. But with Apple CarPlay, BMW wants you to continue paying for a feature built into the head unit of the car you've purchased. No other car maker has stooped to this.

$80? A year? I guess people will justify it saying it's approx. $6.50/mo (subscription model ftw), but I can't.
