It totally depends on execution, but I've shifted to a pretty anti-advertising philosophy, so I think it's a bad idea.
It could work if the ads are unobtrusive - a muted note indicating that a nearby store has a promotion, for instance, accompanied by the store's logo appearing on the navigation system. If I'm not using the navigation, though, and am listening to my music, DON'T YOU DARE interrupt it for advertising.
If I don't use any functions and the SYNC is just sitting in the car, then I shouldn't have to listen to or see any ads - will there be support for this? I can see the idea leading to horrible execution, so I say, "no, thanks." If I want upt-to-date content, I'll pay for it in a subscription.
(How about an option for SYNC using my bluetooth-enabled phone as a modem?)

This makes me wish for the good old days when you could order your car with the "radio delete" option. Now I want the "Bullsh*t delete" option.
