Bentley Infotainment Upgrade, Featuring 9.7-Inch Display, Now Available For 2nd-Gen Continental GT And Flying Spur

Bentley Motors has introduced a new infotainment upgrade for its second-generation Continental GT, Continental GT Convertible and Flying Spur, giving owners of these older models access to modern connectivity features, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Available through authorised Bentley retailers, the latest 2026 infotainment technology is designed for Continental GT and GT Convertible models built between 2012 and 2017, as well as Flying Spur models produced between 2014 and 2019.

The highlight of the upgrade is a new 9.7-inch touchscreen display with 2K resolution, which offers sharper graphics and improved touchscreen responsiveness. The replacement unit also features digital graphics inspired by Bentley’s latest-generation models, allowing it to blend seamlessly with the existing interior design.

One of the major additions is smartphone integration, with support for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With these features, owners can connect their smartphones wirelessly via Bluetooth or use a wired USB-A connection in the centre console.

The upgraded infotainment system also features an improved navigation package with updated mapping data, 2D and 3D route guidance, points of interest and integrated speed-limit information. Bentley says the navigation maps can receive future updates, helping to keep the system relevant for longer.

Additionally, the upgrade replaces the original physical heater and climate-control switches with touchscreen-operated controls, creating a cleaner and less cluttered centre console while consolidating several functions into one display.

Beyond navigation and smartphone connectivity, the system allows drivers to make and receive calls, access contact lists, control music playback and adjust audio settings, including bass, treble and balance. Voice commands have also been simplified for easier operation.

With the new upgrade, the Volkswagen-owned British luxury marque is giving owners of its second-generation grand tourers and luxury saloon an opportunity to enjoy modern infotainment technology found in its latest-generation models without having to replace their Bentley vehicles.
