Carplay is the system created by Apple and specially developed for cars, with which you can use the most popular applications such as browser, music, or even read notifications of your iPhone, on the vehicle’s screen, however, not all Brands incorporate it.
Apparently, a version of Carplay 2.0 this yearalthough it had already been announced by 2024, however, there are some manufacturers that prefer to use their own systems, without depending on Apple and programming them to their measure, so not everyone will have compatibility.
Vehicle brands with Carplay 2.0 in 2025
One of the data that impacts a lot, and that shows the potential of this system created by Apple, is the one we can observe in the United States, where 98% of vehicles sold in recent years have compatibility with the current Carplaysomething Apple even wants to increase, even if there are brands that want, as we said, create your own software.
In the company’s statements, we can read the following:
The next generation of Carplay is based on years of success and knowledge acquired, offering the best of Apple and the car manufacturer in a deeply integrated and customizable experience. We continue to work closely with several manufacturers, allowing them to show their unique visual and brand design philosophies in the next generation of Carplay. Each brand will share more details as the ads of their models that will support the next generation of Carplay approach.
Well, focusing on today’s main theme, the brands that already gave their commitment to incorporate the new Carplay 2.0 to their vehicles, are the following, although that does not mean that others that do not appear, will not have it, however , these should possess it almost safely:
- Acura
- Audi
- Ford
- Sling,
- Infiniti
- Jaguar
- Land Rover
- Lincoln
- Mercedes-Benz
- Nissan
- Polestar
- Porsche
- Renault
- Volvo
On the other hand, as we said, the companies that are clear that they will not use it, and, therefore, they will not have adapted Carplay 2.0 in the future, they are the following:
- General Motors (GM): Including Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac and Buick, GM plans to gradually eliminate Carplay and Android Auto in their future electric vehicles.
- Tesla: Tesla has never adopted Carplay or Android Auto. Their vehicles use their own system specially designed for their range of vehicles.
- Rivian: Like Tesla, Rivian has decided not to implement Carplay or Android Auto, trusting a system that they develop internally.
- BMW (partially): Although BMW uses Carplay in some of its vehicles, it has shown interest in integrating custom functions and collecting subscription rates in the past, so we are not clear to which side they will go, being able to be fully functional and free, or ending as Tesla.
In summary, it seems that everything will continue in this way, with the incorporation, to the new vehicles, of the 2.0 system, however, it is nothing that is signed, so it will have to be aware of the launches, and check if you really are really It fulfills this forecast, although practically in its entirety, it should be so. Hopefully more brands join.
