Got a Bentley Continental? Miss your iPod?

 

Personally, we’re pretty shocked by this move from the good boys over at Crewe, England, but we welcome this with open arms and we’re looking specifically at all our Bentley Continental owners over here. Starting now, your local Bentley dealership will offer the ability to install an iPod connectivity kit which will be a "factory" part, and not after market. But damn, how the heck can I control the iPod? Leave it up to the sneaky brits, because once that bad boy is plugged in "track selection and volume can be controlled via the infotainment system or steering mounted controls." Amaaazing! Just in case this doesn’t knock your socks off, "a USB input is available allowing any music device with a USB port to be used and controlled via the infotainment system". It just gets better and better, doesn’t it? "To ensure your device is kept safe whilst in use, a leather holder has been designed to house and protect the player in the glove compartment. The high quality fleece lined Schoeller material offers maximum protection." Well, you heard it folks! This is compatible with the Bentley Continental series like the Bentley Continental GT, and Bentley Continental Flying Spur. Model compatibility years are not specified so theoretically this might work back to on ‘04 model. Click on for a couple more pics!

    Freddy, if you really owned a Bentley or a Ferrari, I would at least think you could spell the name properly.

    I have this installed and it’s horrible. you can not see what tracks are playing. You can not see what track you are selecting to play. All it shows you is simply Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc. So good luck if you have 300 songs trying to find the one you want to play!!! Very very very bad. I’m disappointed. Especially for $700 because it’s not worth a penny.

    spoke to bentley direct—it does not show the name of artist or song–just a number–unless you have a great memory–i would pass on it—you can get a Dice system or some other which does the same for much less

    I have a 2008 Bentley Continental GTC and an Apple iPhone. Ever since I downloaded new iPhone software, I cannot voice dial by name. Has anyone else had that problem and a solution? Thanks!
