But then this brings future problems? You know how my car navigation has the option to have this nice traffic live updates and SOS button but nope doesn't work because the antenna on the car is to old for current cell towers. I think it's like 1G or 2G. So what's gonna happen when the car is to old to communicate with the servers? Unless from now, all future antennas will be backwards compatible but I still think they will eventually won't be. All services will become disabled? Or all services will all be unlocked?
It's not only BMW.

The Google Maps feature on my 2018 Audi S5 won't work past December 2019 because it's not compatible with the new hardware. :/
