Bentley Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Upgrade Services – Apple Carplay – Android Auto | B&B Audioconcepts Cardiff
As specialists in high-end vehicle audio and security systems, B&B Audioconcepts have earned their reputation as the go-to experts in Bentley upgrades. Based in Cardiff, these audio and security specialists regularly handle premium modifications, including integrating Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into Bentleys lacking these modern infotainment options.
Recently, their expertise was on full display when three Bentleys arrived for upgrades in a single day. Each vehicle had its unique requirements, highlighting B&B Audioconcepts’ versatility and commitment to providing tailored solutions.
Bentley OEM Integration: Modern Features with Factory Aesthetics
For one of the Bentleys, the team successfully integrated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto directly into the car’s original infotainment system. This approach is ideal for Bentley owners who value the design of their vehicle’s OEM setup but want access to cutting-edge technology.
The process involves adding Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality without altering the vehicle’s original aesthetics. Drivers gain seamless access to navigation, music streaming, hands-free calling, and voice-controlled commands. By maintaining the OEM system, this method ensures that the modern features complement the luxury and sophistication Bentley drivers expect.
Such integration requires expert knowledge of Bentley’s complex systems. At B&B Audioconcepts, their team uses advanced tools and techniques to ensure flawless functionality without compromising the car’s original software or hardware.
Head Unit Conversions: Upgrading Older Infotainment Systems
For the other two Bentleys, the solution was a head unit conversion. This approach is perfect for older models where the factory infotainment system cannot support modern upgrades. By replacing the original head unit with a cutting-edge alternative, the vehicles gained full compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Head unit conversions offer several advantages, including a larger, more responsive touchscreen, improved user interface, and enhanced audio quality. Drivers benefit from features such as real-time navigation, voice-activated controls, and access to popular apps—all seamlessly integrated into their driving experience.
These conversions also allowed for personalized enhancements. B&B Audioconcepts ensured that the new systems matched the Bentleys’ luxurious interiors while delivering superior functionality. Whether it’s a subtle upgrade or a complete transformation, the Cardiff-based specialists excel at achieving the perfect balance between form and function.
