Owners of Continental GT, GT Convertible and Flying Spur models built between 2012 and 2019 can now have their cars fitted with 2026 infotainment technology. Called the Bentley Infotainment Upgrade, the new unit replaces the existing console screen and the physical heater controls with a larger screen, a faster processor, the latest navigation mapping and full smartphone integration.
Bentley touchscreen and climate controls
At the centre of the package is a full 9.7-inch touchscreen with 2K resolution. Climate settings move onto the screen, which frees up space in the centre console and gives it a less cluttered look.
Bentley developed the unit with its design team so that it sits within the existing interior. Its digital graphics are based on those of the brand’s latest models, and touch inputs get a near-instant response.
Smartphone integration and audio
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both connect, either over Bluetooth or through wired USB-A ports in the centre console, which also charge the phone. Calls can be made and received through the screen or by voice command, and the system shows contact lists and previous calls.
Media stored on a phone plays through the car’s audio system, with control of bass, treble and balance. The tuner covers DAB+ (where DAB was previously fitted), FM and AM, with SXM in the US only.
Navigation for older Continental GT models
The built-in navigation uses current mapping data and gives route guidance in 2D or 3D, along with Points of Interest and speed limit information. Mapping can be updated over time, so the system can stay current for years to come. Voice commands have also been simplified.
Availability through Bentley retailers
In the United Kingdom, the upgrade is offered through Bentley retailers, where owners of eligible second-generation cars can arrange fitment. No price has been announced.
