Apple Carplay Option- subscription based in 2019?

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I read an offhand comment on a post somewhere here that suggested that after 2018, new models going forward would have Apple Carplay as a subscription-based model. Can anyone confirm this? That would suggest that you pay $300 up front and whatever they choose to charge on an annual basis. Regardless of this, for those who have and use it, do you like its features?

Have it my X5 and it is horrible. Tried to use it for the first month and then turned it off.

I might reconsider when the allow other maps to be used, like Waze.

For 2019+ they won't charge this as a $300 upfront option. Its included with all of them and its a monthly subscription model. 2018 will be the only F90 with the $300 upfront option.

Right you are! The online configurator now eliminates Apple CarPlay as a charge option. Good to note for those with 2019 orders in place- you're getting $300 off.
