Apple released a new version of CarPlay during WWDC last year. At that time, it announced that it would release more information at the end of this year. The latest development is that Apple is cooperating with car manufacturers to bring support to the CarPlay interface. The “unique” design style of car companies – different car companies are expected to have personalized CarPlay “theme interfaces”.
Now, the first car companies to publicly equip the new version of CarPlay have also been announced – Porsche and Aston Martin. At the same time, these two brands will also be the first to experience exclusive personalized designs.
For example, Porsche models that support the new version of CarPlay adopt a “three-barrel” dashboard interface, and its background image simulates Porsche’s unique “Pepita” material texture. The CarPlay design of Aston Martin models is slightly different, and the dashboard is outlined in the brand’s exclusive green.
According to previous reports, Apple officials have said that the new version of CarPlay is no longer a simple projection of the iOS system, but will “let iOS fill the entire car screen.” According to Apple’s preview during WWDC last year, the new version of Carplay supports Acura, Audi, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche, Volvo and other companies, and can integrate various vehicle performance data, including speedometer, tachometer, The odometer, fuel gauge, engine temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, etc., thus completely “taking over” the original vehicle engine system, which also makes the car manufacturer unwilling to “give it up.”
