Probably a silly question - but will CarPlay need to be updated on my car as well as the phone? Or will it only be for new builds?

Interesting. So the CarPlay-enabled cars don't ever get firmware or software (updates)?
They can get those from the manufacturer, but those would essentially be separate/different from CarPlay itself that comes from and gets updated via iOS.

Your car has some software installed to be CarPlay compatible, but the updates and actual CarPlay software is in iOS. All you have to do to update CarPlay is use the latest iOS on your connected device.
