Recommendation on Repairs and improvements
Frist of all I would like to Thank all the members who posted here, as they have been a great help in the purchase of my bentley.
I am a proud owner of a 2005 gt with 23000km, garage stored and well maintained vehicle.
I have a few issues, frist of all the roof liner is slouching in certain areas nothing too obvious. The light bar has failed and the trunk struts have also failed. I am missing several mat clip that secure the mats to the floor. The tpms also needs changing. Other then that it drives like a great.
I do have a certain vibration while cruising at a constant speed. No vibration under mild or hard acceleration. Just at cruising speed, vibration is minor but noticeable.
I am having a hard time identifying the phone for the central armrest. I have searched all over and can't seem to get concrete information on the compatability.
I was also looking into the grom bluetooth addon.
Any recommendations on a cover for storage, I am searching for a fitted cover made for the vehicle any recommendations are appreciated.
I am also looking for a diagnostic tool/programmers for the vehicle also.
Thank you in advance
I have attached the pictures below

I wouldn't waste time on the bentley nokia phone, but you can get these on ebay... example... https://www.ebay.com/p/OEM-Bentley-B...d=233132682306
For bluetooth phone & music, I've been using the Grom BT3 at a another members suggestion, for about a year or 2, no problems and great quality audio. Easy install also.
I've also used the VAG-COM odbc cable from ross-tech and it's worked for what I've needed, no problems, using their VCDS software.
The headliner sag is a known issue, and there are several threads on the brake light, if that's what you mean my the light bar...

Thanks for the input Sam, I will ofcourse take all your recommendations into account. I did however check the ebay listing. I currently already have that, it's the privacy handset and it's located next to the one that I have pictured above. I am trying to identify the Nokia phone model that's compatible with the cradle.
And I would greatly appreciate and feedback on the vehicle cover that would be great.

Not to derail the thread... but I have absolutely no use for the phone spot in my GTs' driver's arm rests, and am thinking/hoping I could pick-up a (or a couple) passenger arm rest and swap the guts... to convert the driver's arm rest compartment into a more usable space. Any thoughts?

You could remove the components from the arm rests, you would have to deal with some unwanted wiring.
Any recommendations on storage covers, fitted covers made for the vehicle.
Has anyone had issues with the air vents, my middle vent has no air coming out but the louver is functioning just fine

I have a spare center dash piece with the vents assembled and I can post of pic of the mechanism if you first do the pencil test and confirm that when you move the actuator the flap does NOT move.

It is possible on the middle air vents that the plastic linkage parts have disengaged. It is really a simple design. So, if you can move the chrome push actuator, try a simple test. Open the vent then place a pencil through the grate and test if the flap in the back is still closed. If it is, it is likely an easy R&R of the center dash panel and reassemble the flap on the actuator linkage.
