I've noticed that the images of the new iBeetle iPhone mount look just like the Maps&More mount for the Up!

Any word on whether the Up! might benefit from compatibility in the future?

oooooooo!!! this could be interesting!!

I'd pay a good amount of money to have my iPhone directly connected to the Up!. Hoping that this becomes a standard VW feature, rather than exclusive to the Beetle.

I wonder if the mount will be adjustable, and have both connectors for the old plug and the new lightning cable

The iBeetle footprint for the iPhone mount is a lot bigger than the M&M bracket.

Looks identical

The rear edge of the M + M is straight, forming a triangle with the top lopped off; whilst that on the Beetle is still a triangle without a top, but the edges at the bottom have been cut off as well. They are a different shape.

Nick is right. I can see now that they're slightly different. Shame! Nevertheless, it's feasible that the Up!/Navigon software could be updated to work with the iOS app for the iBeetle.

Wishful thinking perhaps...

The stalks look the same, but note the base on the up! stalk only comes back as far as the vertical join in the stalk, whereas the iBeetle one is the full depth of the stalk.
