"After years of teasing, Apple launched the CarPlay Ultra earlier this year in several models from Aston Martin, with Porsche expected to come next. The upgraded phone mirroring system is designed to deliver greater integration with the vehicle, offering not only the ability to have CarPlay on multiple screens at once but also the option to adjust things like climate controls and drive mode settings from within the CarPlay interface."
"But since its launch, Apple has yet to announce any additional automakers beyond Aston Martin and Porsche. That delay could be the result of companies, many of which are attempting their own software modernizations, expressing concerns about Apple's desires to take over all the functions inside the vehicle. Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius said as much on his episode of Decoder last year."
Ford is taking a wait-and-see approach about authorizing Apple CarPlay Ultra in its vehicles and has reservations about the system's execution. Apple launched CarPlay Ultra earlier this year in several Aston Martin models, with Porsche expected next. CarPlay Ultra provides multi-screen mirroring and deeper integration, including climate control and drive-mode adjustments from within CarPlay. Adoption beyond those manufacturers has been limited, likely because many automakers are modernizing their own software and worry that Apple would assume control of core vehicle functions. Mercedes-Benz leadership has voiced similar concerns.
