There is nothing to "subscribe" to... The technology is either installed or not.
I guess we are lucky that BMW is not selling access to the built-in hard drive for music storage as a yearly subscription as well...

For a technology that is not theirs. Mine was lifetime but when I took my car to the dealer to retrospectively activate dipping mirrors, the software updates converted it to a 3 year subscription!!
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
