Apple has unveiled CarPlay Ultra, their upcoming advanced in-car interface, with initial rollout on new Aston Martin vehicles ordered in the U.S. and Canada. This innovative technology aims to provide a smooth integration of iPhone features and vehicle control, extending its reach across all car displays, including infotainment screens and instrument clusters. The result is an immersive and customizable driving experience that offers a seamless blend of technology and automotive control.
CarPlay Ultra significantly surpasses standard CarPlay capabilities, delivering live data such as speed, tire pressure, and Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) details on the dashboard display. Drivers can manage vehicle functions like temperature control and audio using touch controls, physical buttons, or voice commands through Siri. iPhone-powered widgets seamlessly adjust to fit the car’s screen for easy-to-view information at a glance.
Aston Martin becomes the pioneer in introducing CarPlay Ultra, a testament to their dedication towards creating exceptional, top-tier user experiences as asserted by CEO Adrian Hallmark. This innovative system mirrors the unique design aesthetics of each manufacturer, offering owners an opportunity to fine-tune themes, colors, and backgrounds for a more tailored experience.
CarPlay Ultra can be used with iPhone 12 models or newer versions that have iOS 18.5 or a higher version installed. At present, it is accessible in Aston Martin’s vehicles sold in the U.S. and Canada, but plans are underway for a global release within the next year. Additionally, Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis have pledged to make this platform compatible with their vehicles as well.
