No, they won't.
At best you'll get some sort of nearly worthless concession because they have to slap in cellular hardware to make the ad bit work - something like you'll get free traffic updates on your gps nav (sold seperately) - since they need some sort of enticement.
No way they'd offer anything remotely looking like a meaningful discount.
If I ever get a car with built in cellular like that it's getting ripped out so fast.
That's most modern cars these days.
The other thing I hate is the reverse lights going on when it's put in park. They're reverse lights.
That's a GM thing, so other people notice your car and don't speed past in parking lots.
