It may be argued that the subscriptions are basically extras, unless, it’s a one off lifetime type, which you pay for, as many cars now have “over the air updates” to upgrade the car. The bmw satnav functions perfectly well after the sub has lapst, except for live traffic info, for which their are workarounds, I assume BMW, pay for the info, so it’s just passing on a cost. The BMW app also works perfectly, except for remote unlocking/locking. I agree with the subs lasting the time of the lease, however manufacturers have wised up to extra revenue and may only offer a year, (buyer beware), which is nothing to do with motobility, as they would class it, an extra. It really has not bothered me as android auto, or car play work seamless and wireless, are our much better. As with all the Technology now, data is valuable, and you are the product.
