Comments on: Hands on with the Bentley Flying Spur (Bluetooth)

I tested a Blackberry 8900 with a 2006 Bentley Continental GT, and we were able to get it working correctly. The Blackberry is running OS 4.6.1.231 (T-Mobile), and the “SIM Access Profile” must be enabled under Bluetooth Options. Once paired, any phone numbers stored on the SIM card (some remnants of using the SIM card on a non-Blackberry phone) were successfully transferred to the car, and answering/placing calls works just the same as it did on the previous Nokia.

re: ‘07 Flying Spur.

with any of the compatible phones, i.e. Nokia 6300, will i have to transfer all contacts to the SIM before I can use the bluetooth or can i just use the phone memory?

bentley’s site only says “downloads SIM card…”

thanks

I am on my second Bentley. GT first, now Spur. Both cars had the same rSap system which is rubbish as it pretty much only works with Nokia. Like most people who own this car, I have a Blackberry which will not work.HOWEVER!!! Models produced after about Nov 08 don’t use the rubbish rSap and my Blackberry Bold works fine, shame it was a loan car as I will have to make do with the excellent sim card option and voice recognition in my 2007 model.

Hi,

great site, well done.

I have just bought a bentley gt continental 2005
it has no phone connected, but has like a false phone in it ?

also it looks like it has a reverse camera , but have never seen it on.

what is the best compatible phone that will fit in the compartment, and any advice on the camera ? or are they all down to the Bentley garage, and a second morgage

many thanks in advance.

Brian

It should show the number in the window in the console after the phone has been successfully ‘paired’ . . . In the 2008 Continental it was a 16 digit number that you then key into the phone

You can burn two formats from Itunes . . . If you burn as normal music files it will likely play just fine. Not sure if Bentley plays .MP3 files. The difference is . . . normal music files, about 20 songs per CD . . . .MP3 files will hold almost 200 songs on a CD.. Good Luck

I am aware the newer models will link, but my issue is with a Bentley GT 2004. it never had the Bluetooth fitted, just the Nokia cradle in armrest etc… but in todays market you would think some egghead would have found a way to put a Bluetooth adaptor into the cradle so it emulates the Nokia as far as the car is concerned.
Mercedes now have such a kit called a ViseeO MBU100, and it looks just like a Nokia 6310i and works a dream with most phones. Be good if someone could the same with Bentley, as must be 1000’s of owners willing to install such a item to upgrade older systems.

any ideas folks ?

The new Blackberry (the “Bold” or BB 9000) WILL pair with the Bentley rSAP system. I did it this morning with my 2007 Continental GT.

Hi
Did you find a way of getting your GT (2004) to work with a any bluetooth mobile?
My car has two cradles, 1 in each armrest, the first holds the Bentley privacy hanset, the second holds an older Nokia mobile that is useless in todays marketplace. Any ideas welcomed….

By: Colin

Colin — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:55:26 +0000

Have just collected a Bentley Continental GT 2004.
Has the Bentley privacy kit in one armrest and the other has a cradle for an older Nokia i believe.
Would prefer to get connected with a bluetooth phone, but the cost to upgrade the Bentley system is just stupid at a main dealer. Surely their is a dongle that adpats the cradle to communicate with a Bluetooth mobile ? or do you suggest an alternative way i can get bluetooth enabled without spending a kings ransom replacing the system

I have a Bentley GT ‘04, nice car! But the phone system is terrible!

You can forget pairing a Blackberry with the rSAP bluetooth as its incompatible. However I just drove a GTC ‘08 and they have fixed the issue, Blackberry’s work fine with the Bluetooth. (but the interface and downloading of numbers is still ancient!!

Bentlet corporate or your dealer has a list of apporved phones . 08 is improved and you dont have to use rsap profile. latest phone is nokia n95 series. nokia created rsap profile any s60 platform nokia should have that profile . it works great however i didnt get my phonebook to load past the a’s but it only played with it once.

I have just bought a VW Tiguan. The Premium car phone kit sees my mobile (Sansung D900i) but my phone does not see the car kit. When I try to connect, the car screen tells me my phone is not compatable. Have read all of this site and as a learner am unsure as how to proceed. I think Nokia seems to be the way to go, bt the only list I can see is from a year agao. Does anyone konw of any new phones which are rsap compatable? Thanks in advance for help

Larry-

The dealer is confused.

If you save a phone number which is already in your Blackberry memory to the SIM card memory, then, when you put the SIM card in the Bentley armrest, the saved phone number will appear on the Bentley screen.

However, the Bentley will NOT make a call via a Blackberry/bluetooth connection just because you saved a phone number to the SIM card in the Blackberry. As long as the SIM card is in the Blackberry (and not in the Bentley armrest), the Bluetooth connection to the Bentley will drop shortly after a call made through the Blackberry/bluetooth system is initiated. It’s a security feature of rSAP!

Don’t you feel better now that you know how secure your Bentley/rSAP system is? After all, if you never make a call, no one can intercept it.

I just ran my VIN on the Bentley Motors website under the phone compatablity tab and it lists the phones that are compatable with my specific car. Check your VIN and it will at least give you what options are available. Of course my I760 is not on the list. My list has 6 non-rSAP phones, all older phones, a couple of years at least.

I just bought a 2008 GT Speed, love the car but the same bluetooth recognition problem with my Samsung I760 PDA. Anyone gotten this phone to work? Suggestions…

Also, the dealer mentioned that people with blackberry can get it to work if they change their settings to move the stored data to the phone from the sim card. Not sure if that is correct because I don’t use blackberry.

2007 GTC does not connect with the iPhone 3G. Same problems as described above… phone connects, once connection established (making a call/receiving a call), connection drops, phone is still active.

Im curious if there is a way to have Bentley upgrade/replace the module for the 2007 to give us HFP capabilities…

for the 2007 GTC-the best phone for complete pairing try the Nokia 6300–works great and a fine phone–
by the way has anyone hooked up an ipod adapter to the GTC–do i have to remove the CD changer??

Just back from the dealer for this very problem for my 2007 GTC. The strange this is that it connects to bluetooth but can’t hold the call. It immediately drops. I am told that the Phone does work with the 2008 model.

Abraham-
read the prior posts, including mine. Non-rSAP phones won’t work with a Bentley.

Ted K.

P.S. Anyne tried to sync the new iPhone with a Bentley? It’s not clear if the new iPhone has rSAP, although I think it doesn’t.

I have an iphone that did sync with the 2006 Flying Spur, but everytime the call actually connects(other side answers), the bluetooth connection goes dead on the Flying Spur side. The phone call is still connected with the iphone. Any suggestions?

I have bid on ebay for 3 6200 nokia’s looks like I’ll win them all, but it appears the 3120 is a safer choice. Their is a double zero problem with newer 6200 series
