Hi chaps,

Is anyone aware if the DVD drive found in the later Continental GTs are shared components with any other VAG model car?

G, believe this was covered here previously and the answer was you could not swap the CD for the DVD. Truly hope I am wrong as the first B here had the CD and the DVD version in the GTC is better/easier.

 

Have looked into this, you also need to replace the main unit with the screen.

I believe Bentley actually do a complete kit, screen, DVD unit and discs. Price is about $4000.

 

I recommend the following setup:

Components:
1. Audiovox Mediabridge
2. iPad + Google Maps App or TomTom App
3. Smartphone with data plan

Setup:
1. Smartphone bluetooth tether 3G/4G with iPad
2. iPad USB connection to Mediabridge

Since most won't use navigation on a daily basis, the stock map is enough for general direction needs.

When you really need accurate navigation, you can fire up the iPad. Since the iPad is connected to the Mediabridge, the turn-by-turn instruction is announced through the car speakers which feels like factory nav.

 

Thanks for your help, I'm trying to get my head around your solution, are you basically suggesting having an iPad randomly floating around the dashboard or is there a way to get what's showing on the iPad on the built in screen?

Sure enjoy... as I took that pic with the previous B. You reminded me it needs to be updated.
