Carmakers Push Back Against Apple’s Takeover of the Dashboard

Several major carmakers, including Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Polestar, and Renault, announced they will not support Apple’s CarPlay Ultra system despite earlier plans.
The change comes amid worries about software control and revenue, with Renault warning Apple against interfering with their internal systems.
CarPlay Ultra integrates all driver screens with iPhone apps without sharing vehicle data, as seen in Aston Martin’s implementation.
Apple claims standard CarPlay is in 98% of new US cars with over 600 million daily uses, but only Aston Martin currently offers CarPlay Ultra production vehicles.
This resistance suggests CarPlay Ultra will face slow adoption as automakers prioritize software control while maintaining support for standard CarPlay.
