I did the $499 for 18 months ending at the beginning of 2020. I might reconsider continuing when the predicted loss of Google Earth happens,if I no longer value the other features.The subscription cost was always part of the stated cost of purchase, if you can afford the car, you can likely afford $27 a month. I'm not interested in work arounds where I have the inconvenience of plugging in my phone whenever I drive.
BTW, I did not extend the ATT data program as I have zero need for a Wifi hotspot.

My plea to the OEM’s is this: let us pay once for an effective gateway between our smart phones and tablets to the displays on the dash, so we can choose and update, at will, what we display there. One advantage for the OEM is that they can focus on on the automobile and leave the finer choices of technology to the owner.
Along with that, just like OEMs provide USB ports in most cars, why not provide a built mount or at least a universal mounting connection for user devices. Why do we have to use suction cups on the windshield, stick mounts in the vents or drill holes in the dash? It wouldn’t be rocket science, it wouldn’t add thousands to the purchase price and it wouldn’t go obsolete in five years.
Sorry, wobbling off my soapbox now.

Did anyone else notice that if the data plan runs out the album covers for SiriusXM no longer display? My plan expired and the album covers no longer displayed. I didn't have the data plan for about a month. As soon as I renewed, the album covers came back.
