Porsche and Aston Martin models will be the first to carry Apple's new version of CarPlay, with "personality theme"

CTOnews.com, December 21 (Xinhua)-- Apple released a new version of the CarPlay during the WWDC last year, when it announced that it would release more information at the end of the year. The latest development is that Apple is working with automakers to bring a "unique" design style to the CarPlay interface-different car companies are expected to have personalized CarPlay "theme interfaces".

Now, the first batch of car companies that publicly carry the new version of CarPlay have also been announced-Porsche and Aston Martin. At the same time, the two brands will be the first to experience their own personalized design.

For example, Porsche models that support the new CarPlay use a "three-barrel" dashboard interface, with a background image that simulates Porsche's unique "Pepita" texture. The CarPlay design of the Aston Martin is slightly different, outlining the dashboard through the brand's exclusive green.

According to CTOnews.com, Apple officials have said that the new CarPlay is no longer a simple projection of the iOS system, but to "fill the iOS with the entire car screen." According to Apple's forecast during last year's WWDC, the new Carplay supports Acura, Audi, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche, Volvo and other companies, and integrates all the performance data of the car, including speedometer, tachometer, odometer, fuel meter, engine thermometer, oil pressure gauge, etc., thus completely "taking over" the original engine system, which also makes car manufacturers reluctant to "hand in hand".
