Aston Martin Introduces Apple CarPlay Ultra

Aston Martin has achieved a world first by becoming the very first automaker to integrate Apple CarPlay Ultra into its vehicles. This enhanced version of CarPlay marks a major leap in connected driving, offering iPhone users a smoother, more immersive interface expressly tailored to luxury automobiles. Available now in Canada and the United States, CarPlay Ultra makes its debut on the DBX SUV and Aston Martin’s principal sports models.

A Dual-Screen Extended Experience

CarPlay Ultra’s flagship feature is its simultaneous display on the centre touchscreen and the driver’s digital instrument cluster. This enhanced integration provides real-time maps, music, speed and vehicle settings across both screens for a far more intuitive experience. Drivers can customise gauge layouts, choose from different instrument configurations and adjust colours and wallpapers to suit their preferences. The interface graphics are styled to complement Aston Martin’s cabin design, ensuring a seamless blend of digital elements and the car’s luxurious ambience.

A Close Collaboration with Apple


A direct partnership between Aston Martin and Apple enabled CarPlay Ultra’s development. The integration honours Apple’s technological standards while preserving Aston Martin’s distinctive visual identity. The reimagined interface allows core vehicle functions—such as radio, climate control and navigation—to be operated via the touchscreen, physical buttons or Siri. iPhone-powered widgets can be arranged for quick, personalised access to essential information. This approach prioritizes comfort without compromising safety, keeping vital controls—both touch and tactile—within easy reach.

A Bespoke Infotainment System

Underpinning CarPlay Ultra is Aston Martin’s in-house infotainment platform, first introduced with the DB12 in 2023. It features a 10.25-inch Pure Black display and gesture-recognition controls, striking an ideal balance between digital innovation and mechanical precision. Certain functions—like drive-mode selection, ventilation and driver-assistance systems—remain accessible via physical buttons. Thanks to this custom system, Aston Martin can introduce exclusive features and maintain top-tier software integration, setting its in-car experience apart from the competition.

Availability and Requirements


CarPlay Ultra is now standard on all new Aston Martin models sold in Canada and the U.S., including the DBX, DB12, Vantage and Vanquish. Existing models equipped with the latest multimedia system will receive a software update through Aston Martin’s dealership network in the coming weeks. Please note that CarPlay Ultra requires an iPhone 12 or later running iOS 18.5 or above.

Technology Meets Refinement for the Driver

With CarPlay Ultra, Aston Martin takes another bold step in in-car user experience. More than just a connected feature, this integration exemplifies the marque’s commitment to blending performance, luxury and innovation. Thanks to its deep integration with the Apple ecosystem, Aston Martin drivers now enjoy a highly customisable digital environment—without sacrificing an ounce of elegance or functionality.
