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.

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.
