While I have no doubt about it's capabilities, it makes me wonder if people are really going to pony up 10-12 bucks a month for the "Dash Service", speaking of which, what exactly does it include? Is it just traffic or the entire gamut of features including WiFi and OTA updates? Come to think of it, the cost for the first year of usage is 600+132+taxes which puts it in the same league as in-dash systems with gargantuan 7" screens.
