Bentley Offers Infotainment Upgrade for Continental Models

Live Poll

Would you pay to upgrade your older car's infotainment system?

Bentley is making available an infotainment upgrade for 2012-2019 Continental GT, GT Convertible, and Flying Spur models through Bentley retailers. The unit directly replaces the existing console screen and physical heater controls.

Why it matters

The upgrade gives owners of older Bentley models access to newer display, connectivity, and navigation features without replacing the vehicle. It also reflects a broader push by luxury automakers to extend the usefulness of cars already on the road.

The new unit features a 9.7-inch 2K display, updated map data with integrated speed limit information, and wired or Bluetooth connection for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Pricing and installation timelines were not disclosed.

The players

Roadmap

Automakers are increasingly offering software and hardware retrofits to keep older vehicles current with smartphone integration standards such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Porsche's parallel PCCM Plus rollout across more than 300,000 911, Cayman, and Boxster models shows the same approach spreading across premium brands.

Owners of 2012-2019 Continental GT, GT Convertible, and Flying Spur models can have the console screen and heater controls replaced through Bentley retailers. Buyers should confirm pricing and installation details directly with a dealer before scheduling work.

The takeaway

Owners considering the upgrade should compare the cost of a retrofit against the value of their vehicle and any remaining warranty or service coverage. Contacting a Bentley retailer is the most direct way to get specifics for a given model.
