CARPLAY Ultra Car Compatible: List 2025%} %}}

📱 What is Carplay Ultra?

Carplay Ultra is the new connected dashboard interface developed by Apple. Presented as the next generation of Carplay, it replaces the traditional display with an ultra immersive integration which controls the entire interface of the vehicle: meters, air conditioning, navigation, radio, heated seats and more.

Unlike the standard version, Carplay Ultra is no longer just an extension of your iPhone: it is now an integrated full infotainment system in the heart of the vehicle. In December 2024, Apple confirmed via iOS 18.3 leaks the name of this version: Carplayhybridinstrument, dedicated to a centralized hybrid interface.

🧠 To remember: Carplay Ultra transforms your car into a real extension of the Apple universe, beyond the central screen.
