Nice, so tempted to get one for my phaeton

[@eczero]

Thanks m8 going to buy one soon

[@marlenebeaudin9017]

Thanks sooo much for this video. We have a recently acquired a beautiful 2007 GTC. The dealer had installed the unit you are demonstrating. I will add that, although we are both computer literate, we are older, so sometimes challenged. Recently the unit display has become reversed. That is the screen moves left when we push right,😅 and all comfort controls (temperature, fan, etc.) operate on opposite sides. (Pushing left temperature activates the right.) 😂Have you ever heard of this? The only cause we could think of was that the starting battery recently went flat and required a recharge. If you have any idea how we could fix this we would appreciate it. And…while we have your attention 😂😂😂…are you bothered by glare/reflection on the screen, and do you have a “fix” for that? Thank you again. My husband Reginald is a London native, but has lived in the states for many years..cheers.

[@carrypermitfitness1521]

Thanks for the video Neil. My only question is , I see you can change the suspension. But is there a setting to put the vehicle into Jack Mode, if it must be lifted of the ground (for a oil change or tire replacement for example)

Hi Neil, your car is beautiful and I’m just in love with the infotainment screen. I’d love to ask you some more questions about this? By any chance do you have any social media from where we could get connected? Would love to talk! Thanks

[@robrotin4073]

Can you please put the part number down for the RCA converter I have installed the head unit and absolutely loved your presentation

[@lukestickings667]

Hi Neil, thanks for the video - really good stuff thanks. Mine is arriving next week and was so relieved someone has done it before me! Question re. aerials ... i have the 4g/DAB/TV tuner coming with the unit ... can you explain a bit more about the cable running & mounting of the aerials? you mention taking out the sat nav unit - i was going to do the same (& the cd changer) as both now defunct - and if taking out these units threw up any OBD error codes?... I was wondering if you still got decent reception from the glovebox? a few people have told me i need to mount to DAB & TV aerial o the windscreen because of the double glazing - any thoughts or advice appreciated? thanks. Luke

[@neiloakley2020]

So my install didn't have the DAB or TV. So the system used the original antenna for FM and it came with a new GPS antenna which I mounted under the grill on top of the dash and it seemed to work just fine. I also mounted the cellular antenna in this location and found the 4G reception to be just the same, if not better then i get on my phone.

[@lukestickings667]

Thanks Neil - appreciate the response. Good idea about the grille - will try that for the aerials. Just need to decide whether to mount the dab on the windscreen. I got all the others wiring done for the reverse cam and dash cam. Looking to install in 2 weeks when unit arrives after Chinese New Year. I see from the user web thread that you sold the car. I can’t find any other people that have done it yet on a Bentley in the Uk (or anywhere else) and recorded it. Have you? Any other vids or threads I haven’t found? Cheers and thanks again for the advice. Luke

[@erickazran1085]

Hi Neil, thank you for sharing this video it is very helpful. I am installing the same unit in a 2006 Bentley GT right now. I was curious does the head unit itself have the Apple CarPlay built-in or is that a Additional module or unit that I need to purchase to connect to this android/Tesla radio ? And if it is an additional unit that needs to be purchased can you please let me know what it’s called or where to buy it maybe provide the link where you bought yours?

[@neiloakley2020]

It was an additional module that plugs into one of the USB sockets and is hidden behind the dash.

[@crashsbuddy]

Hey Neil, thank you for posting this. I just installed mine of the weekend and really like what I see so far. Do you have a forum or website you are visiting for support? I can't seem to change my system from Celsius to Fahrenheit and have the AC controls reflect that.

[@neiloakley2020]

I swapped a few messages with the seller at the start, but not needed anything since. What I would say is that they offer the same type headhunt for multiple cars - the screen/software is the same but the fascia/trim is different. So maybe see what other makes/models seem popular and then visit forums for those vehicles.

Hi Neil, thank you for the video. I purchased this piece from your link. My mechanics have it but they don't know how to install it. Do you have an installation video or instructions? It would really help me out. My car is 2007 Bentley GT Convertible

[@neiloakley2020]

Hi Sam - it's plug and play. So if your mechanics don't know how to install it then I would find someone else. An Audio shop is probably your best bet. Taking off the dash trim is about 20 minutes, Then swapping over about 30 minutes, and another 20 minutes to put it back together.

[@motivationalminute7560]

@@neiloakley2020 Thanks Neil - I finally realized that the seller did not originally include the green plug, which was needed. We received the green plug, and still find that there are some issues with the unit. 1) The steering wheel buttons do not work, but it looks like that can be programmed with the new headunit - is that correct. 2) I still cant change or turn off the temperature and 3) the volume is very low - but it looks like you had a similar problem yourself and purchased that extra Impedance Adaptor. For the sound quality / bass, did you notice that it was similar quality to the original Bentley sound, or was it lower quality even with the adaptor? I purchased a different adapter and the quality did not get better

[@isaiahmuhammad5883]

Does it come with back up camera? Or do you know one that’s compatible with the This screen

Best check with the seller, they can advise on compatibility.

[@lancewagner9846]

Question 2014 Flying spur. Im doing all speakers in vehicle. First phase w factory amplifier , Will this unit tie into existing audio feeds to factory amplifer? Also what does the Tesla unit output single or multi low level ?

[@neiloakley2020]

It uses a converter to tie the phono outputs to the level required for the built in amplifier. The RCA output is low level - i found the voltage too low to drive the stock amplifier to I ended up using a high>low level converter to use the high level outputs and convert it to a voltage that suited the amplifier. Not ideal but it works and the sound quality is good.

Before I finish watching this video, I want to ask if car functions can be controlled by that screen? For example, adjusting the height of the car's suspension?

Hi. I just recently purchased this unit and haven’t had it installed yet. I was wondering where you install the rca converter to adjust the volume.

[@neiloakley2020]

Use the high level outputs (speaker wires) from the headunit as the input for the RCA adaptor. Then take the RCA output from that adaptor and connect that back to the car. It's pretty straight forward. www.pyleaudio.com/sku/NS60/High-to-Low-Level-Impedance-Adaptor

[@Vault702]

Really appreciate the reply. So once this is installed will it supply enough power so that the factory Bentley amplifier will kick in, or does this bypass the Bentley amplifier all together ?

[@neiloakley2020]

@@Vault702 It boosts the voltage on the signal line going to the factory amplifier, which you experience as an increase in volume.

Where did you buy from? I suggest you contact the seller. Mine plugged in and worked straight away - I assume the shop is reputable in which case they should know how to solve any issues given that the heart of the system is a standard android head unit. Have they bench tested the outputs?

They said when they plugged it in to check for power it turned on but when plugged into the bentley it didn't function properly but if you're sayin your radio was completely plug and play then maybe I do have a defected unit...

@@neiloakley2020 they're saying it has power outside the car when plugged in but not plugged into the car do you know what that would be

[@neiloakley2020]

@@Afk_Chiapa Without knowing what exactly you have infant of you, i cant help. Best bet would be to get on the forums and post some pictures there. Mine was plug and play. If it's getting power on the bench but not in the car, then i'd be testing the power supply from the car on the original cars connectors - any good audio shop would know that. That way you can determine if it's a problem with the car, or the head unit. If your original bentley unit worked, and the replacement works on a bench, then it can only be a case of the audio shop connecting it incorrectly.
