They are of course welcome to do whatever they want but I am not into buying subscription services and won't be part of any of these. Buying a "Premium" product and then being nickel and dimed to use features already on the car is a joke. At $70 a month for Parking Assist, paying over $2 a day to help me park ($70 a month), thanks, I'm good. Then I keep this car for 6 years and the cost for Parking Assist is $780 x 6 = $4680 to help me park? Again, no thanks.

Charge me a reasonable cost up front and lets move on, problem they see is no one would consider paying $5k for Parking Assist, part of the reason companies would like to hook you into paying by the month. Same reason I bought my own router instead of paying the $8 a month which never ends. Not a big cost but another waste of money I don't need.
