Stop Living in 2004: Give Your Bentley the 9-Inch Modern Tech It Deserves Without Killing the OEM Look
TL;DR - The Bottom Line
Listen, driving a Bentley Flying Spur or Continental GT with a pixelated, sluggish stock screen is like wearing a tuxedo with flip-flops. It just doesn't match. This 9-inch OEM-style upgrade brings Wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, and 4K video to your dashboard while keeping your factory amplifier and steering wheel controls alive. No cutting, no dash-butchering—just pure, modern luxury.
The "Golden Cage" Problem: Why Your Factory System is Failing You
Trust me, I’ve seen it a thousand times. You love the W12 roar and the hand-stitched leather of your 2004-2012 Bentley, but that factory "infotainment" system? It’s a relic. It’s slow, the navigation maps are probably older than your kids, and there is zero smartphone connectivity.
Here is the deal: Most owners try to fix this with cheap, generic universal head units. Big mistake. If you buy a low-tier, underpowered unit with 2GB of RAM, you are inviting disaster. These units overheat in the cramped Bentley dash, the Bluetooth will drop your calls, and your premium factory audio system will sound like a tin can. Don't disrespect your car with "budget" hardware.

As my experience suggests, the solution is the Witson 9" High-Performance Bentley Android Stereo. It’s designed specifically to bridge the gap between classic Bentley elegance and modern digital convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this drain my Bentley's battery?
A: Trust me, if it's installed correctly with the provided CANBUS box, the unit shuts down completely with the ignition. No parasitic draw, no dead battery in the morning.
Q: Does it support both Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
A: Absolutely. It features built-in Zlink/Tlink technology. iPhone users get wireless CarPlay, and Android users get seamless Android Auto (wired/wireless depending on phone model).
Q: Do I need to move the original car's PCB board into the new unit?
A: No. This is a "without DVD Deck" style, meaning it is a complete standalone unit that replaces the old screen housing. It's much cleaner and easier to install than older "board-swap" methods.
