BMW to Charge $80/Year Subscription Fee to Use Apple CarPlay

BMW is planning to charge an $80/year subscription fee to use Apple CarPlay in its vehicles, reports The Verge. Currently, the company charges a one time fee of $300 for the option.

At the 2018 Detroit Auto Show, Don Smith, technology product manager for BMW North America, told The Verge that the company will launch the subscription-based service next year. "This allows the customer to switch devices," said Smith. "A lot of people buy [CarPlay] and think it’s okay, but sometimes they stop using it or switch to Android."

The plan will be free for the first year of ownership on a new BMW.
