How disappointing, but from a business perspective I can see where they're going to "nickel and dime" us like the airline industry.

However, IMO, the bigger issue is that it now means that the steering wheel buttons will NOT work for shuffling through your favorite stations. Just one or two accidents because the driver was looking down at the onyX unit will wipe away A LOT of $5 charges. I also wish the didn't de-activate all the cars before this is available at most stations.
