Install a Custom Apple CarPlay in your Bentley Continental GT

As technology advances at a dizzying pace, luxury automakers face a dilemma. How do they integrate the newest and most high-tech gadgets while still remaining true to their brand identities? While still capturing the class and tradition for which they are known? It’s a delicate balance – one that the Bentley Continental GT achieves effortlessly. By enabling owners to install a custom Apple CarPlay system, Bentley blends the best of 21st century technology with the best of design and engineering.

CarPlay is not available on all vehicles; fortunately, it is an option on select Bentley cars for sale, such as the Continental. But… what is it?

CarPlay is Apple’s iPhone-compatible in-dash experience; it does not replace your onboard infotainment system, nor all of its functionality. Instead, the software allows you to project your iPhone’s operating system onto that dash screen.This way, you can quickly – and safely – access your favorite iPhone features, such as Spotify, Maps, and Siri. These are accessible via a touchscreen or voice command (with Siri).

Another plus: Siri seems to like Bentleys! Voice command performs better in the vehicle than on your phone. With it, you can dictate text messages, ask Siri to call a contact, request directions, or search through Music or Audiobooks without a misstep.

Now, CarPlay will not enable you to control operating functions for your Bentley Continental GT, such as adjusting your lighting or temperature. For that, you will have to switch back to your car’s on-board infotainment system. Instead, CarPlay allows you easy access to your iPhone so you can include it on your journeys, near and far, without taking your eyes from the road.

If you cannot bear to be separated from your iPhone, Apple CarPlay enables you to integrate it into your Bentley experience. When you are researching Bentley cars for sale, inquire about installing this system to make the most of each mile.
