Whoa...so you're saying the Navigation will stop working in 4 years without a subscription? I can understand turning off traffic and weather because that information comes from a third party but why would my navigation stop working? That is all self contained in the car computer. The map is 100% downloaded and the algorithm to calculate the route does not need to be connected to any cellular signal.

And I don't see Navigation listed on that Table you posted previously. Are you sure Navigation is a subscription or is just parts of navigation like Traffic, Weather and live parking updates. Because all those things would need some type of communication with an external source whereas simple navigation should not.

This is exactly what worries me. My 2016 Acura navigation works just fine with no connected subscriptions. This just sounds to me like a way to nickel and dime customers.
