    On the test drive I did last week they said it’s free for 7 years, but I didn’t think to ask if that includes cellular data for the car or if it can use my phone. Still, I’d much prefer to just use the phone I’m already paying for anyways. Feels like yet another company looking for that sweet recurring revenue of subscription fees.

    I wonder if the automakers noticed the hit when people stopped paying to update the maps on their built-in navigation and they’re trying to get it back this way?

      I’ll buy an Android auto head unit and just suction cup it to the infotainment screen before I pay for that
