Anyone know how the navigation included in the Ultimate trim receives real time traffic data? Is it through Bluelink? If yes, does that mean if I don't start paying $9.90 a month after the free 3 year Bluelink subscription I will no longer receive traffic data?

If correct, that would be similar to the BMW Connected feature I have on my 5 year old BMW. I have to pay $50 per year to receive traffic data. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
I believe it is a mix of data sources.
- HDRadio
- XM-Radio
- BlueLink
- possibly even normal radio (common in Europe, not sure about US)
 
In Europe, Traffic information comes from the internet channel. And is not dependant on Bluelink - you can also share WiFi connection from your mobile phone.
