As far as the UK is concerned the weather is like you say,automatically connected to the BMW provider and is free.Incidentally the old Prof Nav was the same as far as the weather is concerned.Obviously I can't vouch for NA
What is not free is the WiFi hotspot which comes with a free trial of 1 GB and is payable thereafter.
Is it this that you might be getting confused with ?
