Yeah, I know. I am surprised that because I never paid the $300 they are giving it to me for free. My expectation is that those who were on subscriptions would just get it for free, since they paid something into having it.
The question is do you have the right hardware in your vehicle including the required antenna. It's not just a subscription that's required on some of the older vehicles. Hopefully that's all you're going to need in particular. I'm shocked they gave it to you for free because only 2018 and 2019 models qualify! Awesomeness!
