Idcore software update for ios26

[Go60 Jay]

Hey everyone,

So i upgraded to an iphone air and ios 26 about 2 months ago. Since then the connection between my idcore carplay and my iphone kept dropping out. Annoyingly, idcore will only speak to their retailers. Fortunately, i contacted Unique Auto Developments, who were very helpful. I sent a pic of my version screen and they were able to confirm there is an update for ios 26. I purchased the usb update from them and it arrived within 2 days. The update was easy and has done the trick.

So if you you’re experiencing connection issues, it’s possibly just due an update.

Kind regards,
John

Hi John. Would you mind posting the version number they updated you to?

Does anyone know which brand/manufacturer of CarPlay unit the dealers have been using for the 2C cars over the last year or so?

Originally mine had an IDCORE unit but it was replaced a year ago due to being faulty..and I also have the iPhone 17 connection issue. It's being fixed now via an update at a dealer but no-one seems to know who makes the unit...

I've seen one car with a Kremersino Ksmart unit.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, that’s the link. Total cost with postage was £28.

I’ll attach the update details now.

Thankyou. I am (easily) confused, the version number has not changed or I need to go to specsavers?

Hi

It s not you. I m not sure why it displays the same updated versions as old and new, but here is a shot of my old version.

It s not your fault, lol. ?

I contacted them but no dice.

The one from Aston Martin is completely different. I guess I’ll have to contact the local dealer and see if they have any updates.

Is yours the same info screen as mine above?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Davil,

I’m guessing you have the later Vantage? Mine is the 2012, with the idcore unit fitted, which Aston Martin supplied.

Hopefully you can find out what brand you have and they’ll update it.

Kind regards,
John

I think that is the Kremersino unit - https://www.kremersino.com/product-Aston-martin-Ap...
