Apple: CarPlay Ultra Coming to Hyundai, Kia, Genesis
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis plan to offer CarPlay Ultra, which Apple stated in May 2025 and remains limited to Aston Martin vehicles nearly a year after launch. The system integrates deeply with instrument clusters, radio, climate controls, and rear-view cameras. Vehicles share speed, fuel level, tire pressure, and engine temperature with connected iPhones. Tailored designs arrive on a major Hyundai or Kia model in late 2026.

CarPlay Ultra remains limited to Aston Martin's latest luxury vehicles nearly a year after its launch last year.

In May 2025, Apple stated that many other vehicle brands plan to offer CarPlay Ultra, including Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis.

The system provides deeper integration with a vehicle's instrument cluster and systems, including built-in apps for radio and climate controls, plus rear-view camera feed support.

A connected iPhone supplies app-related data, while the vehicle shares details such as current speed, fuel level, tire pressure, and engine temperature.

The interface tailors to each vehicle model and automaker's identity, with preset design options available to drivers.
Earlier this year, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that CarPlay Ultra will arrive on at least one major new Hyundai or Kia model in the second half of 2026.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.

Tesla and SpaceX confirm Terafab chip fab in Texas

Tesla and SpaceX have confirmed Grimes County, Texas as the site for their Terafab semiconductor megafactory, with the first phase costing roughly $16.8 billion. The project targets the largest chip manufacturing facility on the planet to supply over 1 terawatt of compute per year that exceeds current and future global production capacity.

OpenAI Urges Federal Judge to Throw Out Apple's Trade Secrets Complaint

OpenAI has filed a motion asking a federal judge to dismiss Apple's trade secrets lawsuit, describing the claims as meritless. The dispute, which follows a July suit and this week's injunction request from Apple, highlights tensions after their prior partnership on Siri and OpenAI's hardware push.

Meta introduces Muse Code, its terminal-based coding agent

Meta has released an early beta of Muse Code, a terminal-based coding agent driven by the updated Muse Spark 1.2 model and positioned against Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex. Substantially lower rates, including a contributor plan at $0.10 for every million tokens received, may encourage migration away from higher-priced options such as Anthropic's Sonnet 5.
