I wonder which tactic worked?

- Filing with the BBB
- Contacting the Automotive Media's authors/editors that wrote articles about CarPlay being free.
- Reaching out to my dealer
- Disputing the charge with my CC company...

Consumers have a lot more power these days.
I have a healthy vengeful streak, so if I was you, I wouldn't drop it (I am in the middle of something similar with another vendor right now). Refund is one thing and I bet it makes no financial difference to you one way or another. But no apology to you and the rest of the customer base after that behaviour? Unacceptable. I'd stay on it regardless "refund".
