how many people actually end up using this tech on an everyday basis? if it means not increasing the price for other things because tech is bundled into a package that i dont want, im all for it.

adobe did this with creative suite and its pretty sweet to only pay for it when you need it. going to take a trip? order up a month for these packages and cancel when you dont want them anymore.

microsoft for the xbox just introduced monthly charges for the actual hardware now.

i bet this is driven by them negotiating with the vendor who supplies the features to reduce their cost by saying "we only have X number of people actually using it a month" instead of the flat higher rate to incorporate it into all cars.
