This is the global launch of Apple CarPlay Ultra®, making its first appearance on Aston Martin’s Supercar of SUV’s DBX707and 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-only iPhone set up, CarPlay Ultra® activates automatically on ignition to offer drivers the same levels of integration, connectivity and control as within their native Aston Martin UI and UX systems.

Multi-display integration

CarPlay Ultra® extends beyond the central infotainment screen into the driver instrument cluster. Apple Maps now 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 tyre pressure warnings appear as pop-ups in situ, ensuring vital updates remain instantly accessible.

Siri and Apple Intelligence

Aston Martin have worked closely with the team at Apple to integrate Siri at the forefront of CarPlay Ultra® for voice control on features like navigation, climate control and messaging.

 

CarPlay Ultra® brings Apple Intelligence to Aston Martin, allowing interaction with the car and other third-party apps such as parking, quick food ordering and fuelling to suit the driver’s location and needs.
