Recently read this article: http://www.wsj.com/articles/tech-in-...ess-1481976000, which states “BMW and other auto makers already have been forced to offer to retrofit hardware or provide gift cards to those owners who don’t want the hassle of getting an upgrade. BMW owners can accept a $300 voucher for BMW accessories, a $200 Visa gift card or a retrofit of updated cellular technology, the company said.”

Anyone know if the gift card option applies to all owners? I just called corporate and they state they’re not aware of the option, but that retrofit is available free on vehicles within 4 years of their in-service date and that additional retrofit options may become available this spring for purchase for those outside of 4 years of their in-service date.

Doesn’t sound right that retrofit is being covered for some, but not all, as those one day out of 4 years would need to pay and those one day same would not.
