The British brand is offering a 9.7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for three second-generation models. The unit was designed to follow the lines of the original centre console.
Bentley announced an upgrade on 9 November for owners who plan to keep driving their second-generation Continental GT, Continental GT Convertible or Flying Spur. The British brand is offering an infotainment system that fits into the original centre console and brings features now common in new cars to the dashboard, including access to maps and music from a phone.
The design team focused on the most visible piece of technology in the cabin. The new unit replaces the original screen and the physical climate controls. Its interface uses the same visual style as current Bentleys, while the centre console retains its original lines. Long-time owners will also need to get used to adjusting the temperature and fan speed on the touchscreen.
What changes for drivers and passengers
The 9.7-inch display has a 2K resolution and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto over a wired or wireless connection. Drivers can use voice commands to make calls and play music through the car’s audio system. The unit also has built-in navigation with updatable maps, 2D or 3D guidance and speed limit information.
The integration extends beyond the dashboard. According to Bentley, the unit works with the steering wheel controls. In the Flying Spur, it can also be operated from the rear passenger display, giving those in the back continued access to the system.
Which Bentleys are eligible for the upgrade?
Bentley’s official page lists the Continental GT and Continental GT Convertible built from 2012 to 2017 and the Flying Spur built from 2014 to 2019. Installation is available through Bentley’s authorised dealer network. Availability and features vary by market. Bentley has yet to publish pricing or say how long installation takes.
