Watch Aston Martin and Top Gear Show Off Apple CarPlay Ultra [Video]

Aston Martin and Top Gear have posted new videos showcasing the world's first integration of CarPlay Ultra into a vehicle infotainment system.

CarPlay Ultra provides information for all of the driver's screens, including real-time content and gauges in the instrument cluster, while reflecting the automaker's look and feel and offering drivers a customizable experience.

Earlier today, Apple announced that CarPlay Ultra is available with new Aston Martin vehicle orders in the U.S. and Canada. It will also be available for existing models that feature the brand's next-generation infotainment system through a software update in the coming weeks.


Aston Martin has released a video highlighting the "next generation of automotive connectivity."

World first seamless integration. Extending into the driver instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay Ultra is a transformation in driver connectivity displaying key vehicle information and allowing users to control vehicle functions through a bespoke Aston Martin and CarPlay Ultra interface.



Top Gear takes a closer look at the new infotainment system, declaring: "Apple Just Took Over Your Car!"


Apple iPhone users and (modern) car owners rejoice: Apple CarPlay Ultra is upon us, and it more deeply integrates your iPhone into your car than ever before. Aston Martin is the first car company in the world to feature the next generation of CarPlay, and it extends across both the central touchscreen and driver instrument cluster, with masses of personalisation options. We've tried it out, in an Aston Martin DBX, so here is how new Apple CarPlay Ultra works…



Apple first previewed its next-generation CarPlay at WWDC 2022, so it's great to see the update finally rolling out to customers. Please download the iClarified app or follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and RSS for more CarPlay news.
