All my protestations have been ignored by the BMW UK and the dealer. Apple CarPlay was not that important to me so I did not pursue it with all my usual vigour. However with iOS 12 bringing google map and Waze to CarPlay, it might become very useful
No... A "technology" (software) would be licensed via a one-time fee. Carplay is NOT a "Service" (which would justify an ongoing subscription). Research indicates Apple charges about $300 (once) for the license...
