S56 Car Kit Question
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I just picked up a S56 to try for 30 days. I like the idea of the full blown car kit that Siemens sells. What are the chances that the next generation of Siemens phones will have a form/connector that wil (or will not) work with the current kit?

If I invest in this thing will I be stuck with the S56 even when newer (better) models come out?

Does Siemens have a history of obsoleting their acccesories, or do they keep things consistant?

TIA

*)New Phone Holder System

• The new phone holder system consists of 2 parts: the base module and the mobile holder with antenna connection

• The base module is permanently attached by 2 screws to the vehicle console1) or to an attachment bracket1).

• The appropriate holder for the phone can be inserted into the base module and simply replaced for future phone generations 2) without the base module or the E-Box having to be be removed

Looks like a good kit to me, though I'd probably just use it for the antenna connector and use my BT headset instead of the car kit.
