Seems like all it is is hardware that communicates with the phone. Similar to Sirus hardware. Sirus charges for it, but no car manufacturer does.

As far as I am aware, no other car manufacturer charges for CarPlay, other than the initial option selection fee, if they offer it. It seems most manufacturers are going the opposite direction in including it, much like a stereo or Bluetooth. I mean how would you feel if BMW turned off Bluetooth every year unless you paid? Seems ridiculous to me.
