Apple’s CarPlay Ultra is currently exclusive to Aston Martin vehicles, but you can preview it through two videos.
Aston Martin released a teaser showcasing CarPlay Ultra integrated into an Aston Martin DBX. The video highlights Apple’s UI on both the central display and the driver’s instrument cluster — a first for CarPlay. The system offers customizable themes, letting users replace the traditional round speedometer with a vibrant, line-based design that displays speed and fuel levels. Users can also add widgets, similar to those on a phone or tablet, for a personalized experience.

An Aston Martin would be a great way to accessorize my iPhone SE3. Do they take Apple Pay?
could have done more in the main ui to bring the Aston greens to some of the icons though seemed like a missed opportunity to bring in the colour of Aston across while keeping apples car play ui for a more immersive slick merger of the two and making the overall design more Aston Martin.
