So, paying for wifi hotspot should be handled through my cell company, not my car manufacturer. Same with vehicle tracking (through onstar, not the OEM), XM radio through XM. I don't mind paying a one-time fee to have the hardware installed, and if they offered a version of, say, XM radio or OnStar or a wifi hotspot with unlimited internet for my duration of ownership for a larger one-time upfront fee, I would consider it. I can't think of anything that I would want my automobile manufacturer to be responsible for as a continuous monthly payment in addition to my loan and insurance though. Not a damn thing. They're trying to charge monthly fees for built in safety features like advanced braking? That's a lawsuit waiting to happen. "GM allows family to die in burning agony because they did not pay their $9.99 braking fee for 2 months" will make excellent headlines.
