Bentley brings modern infotainment to older Continental GT and Flying Spur models

The company is offering an infotainment upgrade for second-generation Continental GTs, GT Convertibles and Flying Spurs built between 2012 and 2019. Owners can have a brand new 9.7-inch touchscreen fitted by their dealer, replacing both the old screen and the physical climate controls.

The new 9.7-inch touchscreen has a sharper 2K resolution and a much faster processor than the original system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be used wirelessly via Bluetooth or via a cable. The climate controls are now integrated into the screen.

The navigation system has also been updated to feature 2D and 3D views, speed camera alerts and the ability to update maps at a later date. The system was developed in collaboration with Bentley's design team to ensure that the screen complements the interior aesthetically and doesn't look like an aftermarket addition.

For second-generation Continental and Flying Spur enthusiasts, this is an excellent solution: the character and finish remain intact and the outdated screen and sluggish menus are a thing of the past. The upgrade is now available through Bentley dealers.
