The new carplay ultra is a customizable and individual platform that allows vehicle manufacturers to reflect their different design language to suit their customers’ expectations. Their design teams can work closely with Apple to create a custom theme that is tailor for each vehicle. Meanwhile, the drivers can personalize the wallpaper of colors and subjects according to their priority.
In particular, the Apple Carplay works when you connect your iPhone to a compatible in-car entertainment (ICE) system that shows you some apps from your phone, which you usually need when driving. It includes music streaming platforms, navigation apps, as well as your phone dialer, which is arranged in an easy-to-use layout and is completed with home screen and app drawer. With these, you can continue using various tasks of your smartphone as you will normally do without distracting on the road.
