Third-Party Access to Instrument Cluster Display 2023/24 Instrument Cluster Display, but expect third-party map support in older vehicles I believe some cars driving today WILL soon see a small taste of this integration, thanks to Apple allowing other developers access to a particular existing CarPlay feature in iOS 16. Whatever Apple calls this underlying platform, it will allow automakers to build their vehicles to allow Apple full control of a vehicle’s data and multiple displays to allow CarPlay to expand its reach beyond not just the single CarPlay display screen that we see today.

What you see here, with its multiple displays, customisable instrument clusters, super wide wrap-around screens showing off widgets of trip information, calendar events and weather data all of this jaw-dropping update will be coming to new vehicles that will be released in late 2023/2024 – so let’s take a breath, calm down and plant our feet firmly into the ground, for now. ![]() Multi-Screen & Custom Instrument Cluster Support Apple demonstrated an iOS 16 CarPlay multi-screen takeover of a 2023/24 vehicle’s displayįirst things first, what you see in their presentation will NOT be coming to a CarPlay system that is being driven today. During Apple‘s WWDC 2022 keynote they gave just under 4 minutes towards Apple CarPlay with a preview of what users can expect to see in its iOS 16 update for CarPlay.ĬarPlay in iOS 16 will see the platform evolve into something I was never expecting or seem possible, but it’s happening and I think it’s going to give CarPlay an exciting future for in-car infotainment systems. Apple CarPlay is evolving into something very exciting. ![]()
