CarPlay Ultra: Features, Supported Cars, More

  • Apple launched CarPlay Ultra, a next-generation infotainment system, in May 2025, available initially in Aston Martin vehicles in the U.S. And Canada.
  • CarPlay Ultra evolved from a 2022 preview and delays from a planned 2024 launch, aiming to deeply integrate vehicle screens and controls beyond prior CarPlay versions.
  • The system replaces all driver displays, including instrument clusters, supports customizable widgets, vehicle functions like climate, and adapts the interface to each automaker's design.
  • Apple stated that many automakers, including Genesis, Hyundai, and Kia, plan CarPlay Ultra support globally within about 12 months, though some brands like Mercedes-Benz resist full integration.
  • CarPlay Ultra’s rollout suggests a gradual adoption of deeply integrated interfaces in vehicles, but near-term access remains limited mainly to high-end Aston Martin models with future software updates expanding availability.
