No, you need to have an active BMW Assist subscription in order to use that feature.

Depends on your local dealer and how busy they are after the information is submitted to them. I'd probably expect a week or two.

You have until 12/31 *UNLESS* your subscription expires before 12/31. If your subscription expires before 12/31 you have to select your option before your expiration date. If your subscription expires and you haven't chosen the retrofit or the money, you lose the option to do either.

Correct. I thought there was an option to send directions to the vehicle via USB (connect the phone to the vehicle and transmit the address) but I didn't see that anymore in the BMW Connected App (or the BMW Connected Classic or BMW Remote apps either).
