The Volkswagen ID. Buzz brought back the shape of the classic microbus, but the interior is entirely modern, built around the same 12.9-inch touchscreen platform found in the ID.4. That means the mounting challenge is nearly identical to the ID.4: no gauge cluster housing, no CD slot, and a dash

The Volkswagen ID.4 built its dashboard around a single massive touchscreen, and that design choice leaves almost no factory real estate for a phone. There’s no traditional gauge cluster housing to clip onto, no CD slot, and the vent layout is slim and low on the dash rather than centered
