That's absurd and untrue. They're decreasing when you can get a prorated refund. So (aside from a initial window) when you cancel midterm you don't get money back. That's not great but that's a far cry from removing the ability to cancel a subscription.
They're already being sued for their cancelation process being an utter pain in the ass, removing the ability to cancel would be tossed out immediately.
"Selling, losing, trading in your vehicle or not using the Service (or any part thereof) does not cancel your Subscription. You can transfer your Service to another vehicle. If you don’t have another vehicle, you can continue listening through the Streaming Service. No refunds or credits will be given if you don’t have an activated vehicle on your Plan or if you don’t use the Service."
It's word for word what they said in the mailing. I already threw it out so believe what you want. I really don't give a s***.
Since you edited to add a section of the terms:
All that section says is you have to explicitly cancel the service yourself. Selling the vehicle you use the service in and not using it via another vehicle/device doesn't cancel the service for you.
This is so you can't sell the vehicle then, 6 months later when you realize you've still been paying for a subscription, demand a refund for the service you didn't/couldn't use anymore but hadn't actually cancelled.
There's nothing nefarious here.
