CARPLAY Ultra

Interesting . His comments on Elon getting involved with Twitter and effect on Tesla sales are telling as well.

It would be nice if Ford offered access to these natively within CarPlay and AA apps rather than going through something like an OBD-II reader.

Just announced with Aston Martin. Working with automakers to customize even instrument cluster display.

I would even pay for a hardware upgrade to get this.

Looks like Ford is on the list guys:

Don't hold your breath though...missed deadlines and delays already... and I imagine the tariff hit could slow things down even more...announced in Dec 2024 but...

"Apple confirmed in January that next-gen CarPlay had been delayed, but was still in the works.

Apple doesn’t offer a timeline on when CarPlay Ultra will actually be available to those three automakers, or any other brand beyond Aston Martin. The company also does not have a dedicated list of automakers that have signed on to support CarPlay Ultra...."

Has anyone messaged or contacted Ford in regards to this? Would love to get an official statement.

If not, I may reach out to investor relations…

It looks like Ford is NOT on the list of automakers who aren’t supporting CarPlay Ultra! So there is hope we can get support!

So Ford is on the list after all:

Just because Ford is on the list for future vehicles, unfortunately doesn’t mean we will get the update pushed to our trucks.

Saw this on another forum. Doesn’t look promising for us.

If true, this is still unsurprising. Save any money you'd bet on getting CarPlay Ultra in your Lightning for your next vehicle.
