It's free for the first year AND as an enticement they will give you X hours of free cellphone use. Even if you never use the thing for directions or ask where the nearest Wells Fargo is, you want the ability to notify them if airbags deploy. And there's a chance that if you start playing with it you'll find that you like it.
At the end of the year they'll start pestering you to renew, but it's your choice. Just DO NOT give them a credit card # when activating the free cell phone minutes, so there's no way they can automatically renew you "for your convenience." And if you do use the system, remember that analog calls can be easily hacked so be careful what you say and to whom.
AS for the ana-to-digi transition, it's incumbent on their existence that they figure out a way to handle it, but that doesn't necessarily mean a way to retrofit every car out there. At some point for business reasons you have to set a cutoff year and just accept losing X customers.
