If that presentation happened very recently I'd say it's safe to assume it's probably not coming to the 24s. Maybe in an OTA update?

Nope. The S650 gets Sync 4 and regular CarPlay.

This is was announced at last years WWDC in June so about a year ago by the time the cars hit the lot. Ford can definitely update the CarPlay system to be able to use this version of CarPlay but would they who knows. No car has been released with the new version yet but if Ford wants to hit the younger crowd with this car which with every other decision they have made I think it will definitely come but I am really hoping it will retroactively.

This is far more than just a newer version of what we now know as CarPlay. It requires full integration with the dashboard and its systems. It will be interesting to see how manufacturers do this. That said I believe it would unlikely it would be backwards compatible.

Yea it takes over the cars entire infotainment system including climate control. Technically speaking it definitely can be backwards compatible because all of that information is already on the mustangs new all digital dash but who’s know if they will. When manufacturers first started putting CarPlay in their cars some of them did allow older models within a year or two to also be updated so I’m hoping this will be the case especially now it can just be a OTA software update.

I was able to retrofit a 2016 mustang gt premium with Apple car play. I had to replace the usb hub with one that had a new part number. And I also had to update the sync software on it using a method that wasn’t officially supported.

Did the update work as well as OEM? This upgrade shouldn’t require any hardware changes just Ford to pass information to a different system. There isn’t a whole lot of info on this new version of CarPlay so only time will tell. Also I am talking exclusively about the 24 mustang, other cars might require hardware changes and other upgrades for this to work retroactively but from my understanding the 24 mustang shouldn’t

The USB hub in the 2016 gt premium did not support Apple car play. The software update itself did work as well as OEM. But Apple car play did not work until I replaced the USB hub.

The 1st Ford vehicles to get the next gen CarPlay will be EV’s. The 2024 Mustang may get an update of the current version but not next gen.
