Version of CarPlay in Vehicle

I have 2 vehicles, one is a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado the other is a 2019 Buick Encore. I use CarPlay with my iPhone X in both. But CarPlay works better in the newer car than the older one. Which leads me to ask, could there be a newer version of the CarPlay software that is in the 2019 vehicle? And if so, can I upgrade my 2018 vehicle to the newer version of CarPlay?

iPhone X, iOS 12

Keep in mind that the version of CarPlay is controlled by what iOS is installed on your iPhone and not what you have installed in your car.


With that said, there might be a firmware update for the entertainment system for your car that could fix some compatibility bugs when CarPlay is used in your car - but it would also fix other non-CarPlay related bugs as well.
