Nothing is official at this point, but it is believed future models will also benefit from Android Auto integration, according to a report published a few days ago by Car Advice. The 2020 Toyota Supra uses BMW's infotainment system and offers four years of free Apple CarPlay, and we're tempted to believe you won't have to pay for it after that now that we know BMW is eliminating the fees on its models. It’s worth pointing out the decision to ditch these controversial fees is not a UK-only situation as BMW has already confirmed it will be doing the same in the U.S. While it’s good to know these subscription plans are finally going away, it would be fair to reimburse those who have already paid for Apple CarPlay each and every month. That adds complexity and increases production costs, therefore the Bavarians wanted a better return on their investment by charging customers money to hook up their iPhones to the car’s infotainment. When news broke about BMW charging money for a subscription, the company defended its decision by saying the infotainment system is more complicated as the wireless Apple CarPlay requires specific hardware.
