Ford and BMW need to realize they are competing against BYD and other Chinese brands that will offer the same (or better) services for free, even if they take a loos in the short term, to put them out of business.

I bought a BMW about 14 months ago. It came with 4 year subscription for the navigation map and roadside assistance. It has an option for traffic light cameras and some sort of video playback. Of course the SiriusXM subscription is separate. When my 1 year free trial was up, I renewed it for for about $6 a month. If it costs more next time, I may go without.

Is the CarPlay / Android Auto functionality subscription based?

I’m perfectly OK doing nav with my phone.
