I bought a 66 reg UP! Tech the other day which came with the Garmin Maps and More unit - but it's pretty awful in my opinion - for a number of reasons which I won't go into.
I'm wondering if it's possible to remove the unit and replace it with a phone holder unit so that I can use my iPhone instead? The next complexity is that I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max - so it's bigger than the standard cradle size!
I have the same PID, mostly useless apart from Bluetooth streaming music (if it feels like working). A phone holder is available which replaces the PID (not sure what size it extends to), however you have to also replace the mount in the dash as the clips are different on the phone holder. Also the Skoda one (which is the same) is cheaper to buy than the VW one.

Haven't used it in anger yet (will report back this weekend) but it arrived this afternoon, seems very sturdy out of the box and the gooseneck has a lot of resistance, so between that and the little support clip I'm hoping my phone (the rather smaller Nokia 1) will be safe and secure while navigating. My Garmin nuvi (bought long before my Up!) uses the same sort of suction cup arrangement, so I'm confident attaching to the windshield is a suitable option for this purpose. I don't have any form of a VW maps/infotainment system in my car, but my manual has removal instructions on p.239 if that's any help to you?

The unit looks like this:
I posted this recently in a similar thread.
SKODA CITYGO. THIS FITS ON THE TOP CENTRE OF THE DASH WHERE THE PREVIOUS MODELS SAT. NAV BRACKET IS MOUNTED. REMOVAL OF ORIGINAL SAT NAV LOOM IS REQUIRED. BRACKET only . IDEAL IF YOU WANT TO USE YOUR SMART PHONE AS A SAT NAV OR DAB RADIO RECEIVER.

If you do use the new bracket that holds a phone then i can tell you that it held an iphone 8 plus with no problems, i believe the 11 max is about the same size overall.
Hi everyone, new to the forum as just purchased a 2018 Move UP but just wondering if anybody knew what the part number was for the phone mount. I've pinged off the cover and can see some hex screws recessed alongside the USB but be great to get it all fitted.

Hi, I was driving my Rock Up 2014 home from work yesterday and listening to the radio as usual. Stopped at a shop and when coming back to car the radio had gone into SAFE mode. Think whilst fiddling with it I did something wrong trying to put the code in as it now says SAFE 2 and can’t get it...
Hi, new to the community, as the title will a 2016 up radio work in a 2014 up as in all the features such as Bluetooth and dab with a dab aerial installed? Will I have to purchase a wiring adaptor for it to work or will it not work even with everything I need.
thanks
