I appreciate that a lot. I think that Halo 9 will look very good in that car. That infotainment system is just too complicated for a normal person. But if your guy can come up with something, just let me know, I'll reward him for his time... Thank you

Im sure they not, it's all about sharing this forum.
Well I got a message back and you were right the BenHur is not compatible in the 2012 GT.
So on to the next question ? what is it you are trying to do, I understand from your post the system is slow. there is another way round this and that's to upgrade to a NAIM system, the best guy for that is a man called Johnny Hotspur, he an expert in GT's. Im sure if you message him he will give you the best advice. If you look further into this forum you will find his post its had around 46,000 hits so you can't miss it, I think its on the 2nd page. If I can be of any further help do message me ...
Sorry 3rd page and over 50,000 hits ...

I just want to find a way to get this Halo 9 installed. Plain and simple, I thought it was gonna be an easy go but when we saw that the AC wouldn't work without the factory deck, it changed everything.

There are a few companies in the US who do fit after market screens into the Bentley system, but I'm not sure if they can fit the Halo9 into it, they do a touch screen with all the stock functions. Let me dig it out for you. Only thing is you in the Middle East, but where there's a will there's a way, as they say ... let me come back to you ...
Oh nothing is easy on a Bentley GT. Im reintalling the total audio system in mine and its a job and a half, check out my post you'll see what I mean " Bentley GT 2006, speaker wiring codes" ...

Haha, this is true. I don't really care about the factory screen, if I can just find a way to power the AC, then I'd be good. I can hide the motherboard for all that behind the Halo, just need the color code diagram so my installer can do his thing.

Contact Johnny Hotspur as I mentioned, he may have the wiring diagram ...

I will post, especially if I can get this situation figured out. I just sent him a message, hopefully he can help, you've been great, thanks for all the info and steering me in the right direction. I hate spending all that money on something I can't use.
