In any other walk of life, services begin from point of purchase from the supplier.
I was so pissed off by this I've not renewed the £89 as a matter of principle, and switched over to carplay which has a better Spotify integration as I've found out but in my opinion worse interface for maps. Not being able to quickly zoom on the I drive wheel is very inferior and annoying. Voice commands are also Dummer I've noticed.
This drip drip drip of subscription ownership with an already premium expensive motor leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Just pay the money and get the most out your car. They don't care whichever way.
It is rediculous that the clock starts running from the build date though.
