I've owned this head unit since 12/2014, I haven't received a bill yet. Lol.There's no monthly subscription.

No. But my GPS on mine is all messed up and I can't get clarion to do anything about it since day one of having it.

There is no monthly fee for using this router but you still have to pay for internet service. Hope this helps!

no, the service relies on the GPS satellites and is totally free. I love it. No hidden costs !

No, at least when you buy it. I haven't had to update it yet so there could be a fee.

No monthly service fee. The only charge is the $1.99 if you need additional "e keys" for family or temporary guests.

Yes, however it's not a contract agreement. Basically you pay for it when you want to use it, by the month. It's $60 a month.

I believe you have to have a total connect account. I have it through GeoArm and pay 12 dollars a month

No monthly fee. You need a controller unit as a base, then you add as many accessory devices you want.

Mine was trying to charge me as well until I activated my lifetime maps. If you have the TOMTOM home downloaded go to tools (at the top left of the page) and down to use latest maps guarantee. This worked for me at least. If that doesn't work for you then I would call the customer service number.

You will have to pay a monthly fee once the GPS device is activated. But it's not a long term contract, it's month to month. By the way, the device and service work great. I found it to be worth the money.

The GPS works okay. They charge ~$30 for updates that are not very current. The last update did not include a street in my neighborhood that was built 2 years ago.

YES there IS a $5.00 add on to the fee...14.95 for basic service. If you want to use the app to track it is 19.95!

I'm assuming the low price does not come with the GPS itself. I purchased the GPS desperately, so I didn't not see multiple prices.

No it does not, that is the beauty of this unit, you don't have to pay any monthly fees. It works well... my Dad busted his leg and used the mini microphone to talk to me 50 miles away.

There is no monthly charge however, if you want to keep track of Vacation and Holidays, it requires an "Upgrade" to do that which cost me, I think, about $179.00. No charges after that.

NO. It's not like a cellphone or satellite radio service that requires a subscription. The Global Positioning System is a constellation of satellites put up by the US Government. Each one broadcasts a signal that can be used to triangulate your position anywhere on the Earth (with reasonable exposure and reception of the signals, meaning it won't work underground, etc). Your tax dollars already pay for the signals and research to make the antenna small enough to be practical. The wiki page for GPS give more background on it, and things like http://library.thinkquest.org/05aug/01390/animation.htm give animations explaining the basics.

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to pay a monthly fee since I will be using the phone very sparingly over the year.
