Apple's next-generation CarPlay experience, known as CarPlay Ultra, is finally being rolled out to Aston Martin vehicles in the US and Canada after a five-month delay.
CarPlay Ultra offers a complete dashboard transformation, extending Apple's reach to the entire dashboard, providing content for all driver displays, and introducing widgets for at-a-glance information.
The system allows for automaker customization of themes, colors, and wallpapers, and enables drivers to control both standard vehicle functions and advanced features seamlessly.
CarPlay Ultra requires an iPhone 12 or later running iOS 18.5 or newer, and while Aston Martin is the first to implement it, more automakers like Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis have committed to supporting the platform.
