BMW fee for Apple CarPlay after 1st year

Today's article in USA Today discusses Apple CarPlay and points out that this is entirely the decision of BMW, not Apple. Calls into question that this is the only manufacturer charging a fee.

So? that was never in debate and the subject has been beaten to death on the assorted BMW forums, we all always knew it was BMWs choice.
Other manufacturers have chosen to charge for CarPlay, but none had the cajones to make it a subscription service like BMW did, like it or not, BMW has no intention of changing their tune.

Somehow, BMW came to change their tune BMW decided to make Carplay retroactively free. This was a wise corporate decision, as many media sources pointed out that BMW owners and potential owners were displeased.
