BMW has rolled out subscriptions for their heated seats in some countries. If you want the software activated expect to pay about $18 a month. Is this the future of car ownership? I suppose of this works you can expect to pay a monthly fee to use the air conditioning or heated steering wheel as well.
At the end of the article it mentions that to get Apple CarPlay activated it costs $265:
"A new plan by BMW to charge for monthly access to vehicle features like heated seats is giving customers road rage.
Under subscription plans recently rolled out in the United Kingdom, Germany, South Korea and several other markets, BMW owners will have to pay the equivalent of $18 per month to turn on the heated front seats that are already installed in their vehicles.
Motorists can also pony up roughly $180 for a one-year heated seats subscription, $300 for a three-year subscription or $415 for “unlimited access.”
