A world first as Aston Martin debuts next‑generation Apple CarPlay Ultra®
Two global brands. One prestigious partnership. Aston Martin and Apple have aligned their design philosophies to equip drivers with an intuitively connected future. This is the global launch of CarPlay Ultra®, making its first appearance on Aston Martin’s Supercar of SUVs DBX707 and across all new core models.*
Shown on DBX707, CarPlay Ultra® offers a seamless experience across the central display, and for the first time, the driver instrument cluster. Innovatively displaying key vehicle information and allowing users to control vehicle functions through bespoke Aston Martin and CarPlay Ultra® features.
After a simple, one‑time iPhone setup, CarPlay Ultra® activates automatically on ignition to offer drivers native‑level integration, connectivity, and control.
Multi‑display integration
CarPlay Ultra® extends beyond the central infotainment screen into the driver instrument cluster. Apple Maps elegantly extends into the driver’s display, placing vital information precisely where it’s needed, while media and wallpapers flow across both screens.
This new era of driver‑centric interface design presents essential vehicle information such as speed, RPM, fuel level, gear selection, and key Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. Alerts such as tire pressure warnings appear as pop‑ups in situ, ensuring vital updates remain instantly accessible.
What’s new in CarPlay Ultra®
Integrated vehicle controls
Revolutionary access to core systems: heating & ventilation, 3D camera views and advanced parking systems, audio settings, dynamic vehicle configurations, and active safety systems.
Instrument cluster personalization
Curated themes inspired by Aston Martin and Apple. Choose classic twin‑dial or the innovative “Power Bar”, then tailor colors, textures, and patterns—from gradients to topographical motifs.
Enhanced widget support
Customizable widgets show trip duration, fuel economy, calendar events, weather, and more—arranged to your preference and displayed across different screens.
Siri and Apple Intelligence
Aston Martin worked closely with Apple to put Siri at the forefront for voice control—navigation, climate, messaging, and more.
CarPlay Ultra® also brings Apple Intelligence to Aston Martin, enabling natural interaction with the car and third‑party apps for parking, quick food ordering, and fueling based on location and needs. Core experiences like Apple Maps, Apple Music, iMessage, and apps such as Spotify and WhatsApp remain seamlessly integrated.
