Well they really had to.....the old standard was based on firewire specs and firewire is on the way out. All the new devices now use the usb standard so will be much more universal from here on.

To be fair to Apple the iPods have supported charging over USB since 2004 and they did announce that firewire charging would be removed at some point. I'd say that VW had ample time to do something about their iPod connector - it would only take a few small components that could sit inline to the connector.
