Do you mean OTA for owners does not work in the U.S., so he has to take it into the dealership for the update every time? If so, is there a cost to update? I believe I saw that they will update 4x per year at no cost.
Yes that's pretty much.

I don't know about 4x free updates in a year. That would be good option. My dealer didn't update the software last time I took it in for the CarPlay issue. They just returned it to me saying "they could not replicate the issue". They probably rebooted the iDrive system and it fixed it.

However, usually, the dealers would update the software if your car is in for any issues and that if a software update is required by it.
