It probably will require different hardware.
Why would it? For some cars, maybe. But for ours I think there is a genuine chance because so much of the car and its functions are software-based.
I think they could *choose* to make it be a selling point of only newer vehicles. But if that were the direction Ford wanted to go, I don’t think older models would be getting the advanced bluecruise as a software update and they are. So, given that, I think there’s a decent chance that we could see next gen CarPlay on the MME.

Just because the car has a screen doesn’t mean you can just change all things with OTA update.
The new CarPlay integrates with a bunch of functionality of the car and needs to get and set that info from somewhere. More than likely these components need new chips to be able to talk to the new Apple program.
Similar to why you can’t run Android on your Apple phone and vise versa.

BTW, the Apple CarPlay that you have in your car today is an emulator that is running in Sync OS. What’s in the emulator is running by Apple.

Apple has pretty much always left CarPlay integration up to the manufacturer. There’s no reason to believe the next generation of CarPlay wouldn’t be similar.

The same way BMW and Polestar are able to display Apple Maps on the instrument cluster with the current generation of CarPlay. Maybe Ford isn’t able to add climate controls via CarPlay with the current hardware, but that still doesn’t mean that the next generation of CarPlay is going to be entirely unsupported, we may just get it without some features other cars have, the same way the current generation of CarPlay already is.

I believe what next generation gives you are the things that you said will probably won’t be supported.
AC, radio controls. Custom instrument cluster…
