No snap-in yet, will take some time as the iPhone 5 is larger (and has a different connector) than the IP4 .
Also note the USB cable connection won't be of much use as the USB connector in the middle armrest is used for the Euro maps (no pre-loaded Euro maps on F10s with new NAV system, Euro maps are provided on a USB stick) .
So your best option is to use Bluetooth connectivity or the "old" snap-in adapter with your IP4
