In the midst of the ongoing kerfuffle as to which car manufacturers will support Apple’s CarPlay, Ford has announced that the company remains committed to Apple’s in-car software and won’t be shifting away anytime soon.
Speaking at the 2025 Barclays Global Auto and Mobility Tech Conference, Ford CFO Sherry House voiced her company’s support for CarPlay. Ford Authority reports the CFO said it was important to give consumers choice and access to technology, which will be a key feature of Ford’s future plans.
“We think that it is a product that our customers really enjoy, so we’re going to continue to allow them to have access to that,” said House, specifically referencing CarPlay.
Despite the public support and mention, Ford seems to be on the fence as to CarPlay Ultra. As of September, CEO Jim Farley said the company will stick to the standard CarPlay, but wasn’t keen on the initial execution of CarPlay Ultra.
In spite of some car manufacturers backing away from CarPlay or keeping their options open, as of November, there were reports that Tesla was working on supporting CarPlay, following years of consumer demand to add it.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
