Within a few minutes of renewing it, everything was back up and running.
So yes, believe it or not, all APP and interface like CarPlay does use the in-vehicle data connection, to a degree. How do think it validates if you have a current CarPlay subscription.

As someone who works for Apple, I can tell you that CarPlay / Android Auto have nothing to do with in car anything. Even a Nissan Sentra is compatible with these, and that car has far from anything remotely related to in vehicle data connection.
