I used the weather a few times when I forgot to check the iPhone before starting out. I also used Yelp a couple times and thought it was not bad, but not nearly as good as it could be. For $200 a year I just couldn't justify it. I can use 1/4 of that to try out new iPhone apps or feed subscriptions to things that are far more "convenient". BMW should ditch this satellite thing and focus on a more robust iPhone app that integrates with iDrive and make sure that it's upgradable a couple years back -- the iPhone should be doing the heavy lifting and iDrive is clearly already able to handle the graphics. I'd pay a reasonable amount for that app.
