These car brands will be the first to get CarPlay 2.0
Apple has already announced in 2022 that CarPlay will receive a major update. With CarPlay 2.0 you can control many more functions of your car, such as the radio or temperature. For a long time it was stated on Apple’s website that it would announce which cars CarPlay 2.0 will come to at the end of 2023. The company has kept its word, because we finally know which car brands will be the first to receive the update in 2024.

Porsche and Aston Martin have revealed how CarPlay 2.0 will be integrated into their cars. With the new generation of CarPlay it is possible for car brands to put their own spin on the interface. Porsche and Aston Martin both do this, making CarPlay 2.0 look slightly different for the car brands. This will change with the next generation of CarPlay!
This is new in CarPlay 2.0
At Aston Martin, the 2024 Aston Martin DB12 will be the first to receive CarPlay 2.0, at Porsche the update will come to the 2024 Porsche Cayenne. In these cars, CarPlay takes over almost all of the car’s screens. With the updated version of the operating system you can finally operate certain functions of the car yourself, all you have to do is connect your iPhone to the car.
This will soon make it possible to control the air conditioning, radio and lighting in the vehicle via CarPlay. These settings appear on the control panel, so you no longer need the car’s physical buttons. This is not yet possible with the current version of CarPlay, as the operating system is now limited to the functions on your iPhone. With CarPlay 2.0, Apple’s operating system is much better integrated into your car.
Release date unclear
Other car systems are also better integrated with CarPlay 2.0. You will then see the speed, fuel level and temperature of the car in CarPlay. Apple emphasizes that the company does not have access to this data, so your privacy remains well protected. This privacy policy is one of the reasons for car company General Motors to stop using CarPlay.
