Car manufacturers plan to remove Apple CarPlay from new vehicles by 2026
Several automotive makers intend to stop supporting Apple CarPlay in their upcoming vehicle models starting in 2026.
General Motors ends support
General Motors is removing the system from its electric vehicles and plans a complete phase-out. This move gives manufacturers greater control over data and services used inside the cabin.
Other brands never offered it
Tesla and Rivian have not provided support for the interface in their current lineups. Tesla has reportedly tested the technology but has not made it available to customers.
Reasons for the shift
Automakers argue that removing the service allows for better integration with their own car software. Drivers lose a consistent interface that works across many different vehicle types and display sizes.
