I can understand a subscription for a feature that is software based, but a subscription for a feature that is a piece of hardware is just plain stupid. What's next, a subscription for power windows?
I bought a SXM Lifetime subscription back in 2003 ish. A court ordered years later that the lifetime was the lifetime of the subscriber and not the vehicle. I've had in for almost 20 years on 5 vehicles including my current Yukon, no charge. Best investment I ever made for 500$ Back then!think XM/Sirius radio...
maybe I'm a part of the minority, but not sure what these car makers are thinking...article below states..."General Motors expects consumers to fork over as much as $135 per month on top of their car note in the coming years just to pay for subscription features." $135/month?!?
maybe that is what the public is wanting...not me though
just feel as those GM is conditioning their buyers by having the Onstar wifi package being mandatory and that's the reason all the novelty options work...wife drove the new tahoe and in the first 5 mins she mentioned it was good to see the speed limit sign working and not just being blank all the time
Car Buyers Expected to Pay Extra $135 Monthly for Subscriptions: GM

Nah, next is brakes
First I’m jealous you got a Denali diesel, and second I’m jealous you got a hell of a deal with XM. I remember that offer years ago, I believe they were on the brink of bankruptcy and needed money asap, their stock was in the pennies range
