We had already installed the Alpine 8.5” screens in the upper seat back of a Flying Spur. Whilst working on that project, we decided that we could (with a bit of effort) make the Alpine 10.2” monitors fit. We also decided that we would motorise the mechanism for that added “wow factor”. All we needed now was a customer with a Flying Spur!

Fortunately, we didn’t have to wait for long and, as with buses, three came along together! We completed one with manual, push operation, screens and two with the full motorised option. Though a veneered surround would have been no problem (see the Bentley Arnage in the Gallery section), the matching leather surrounds seemed to work better on the Flying Spur.

All three were connected to DVD changers (Alpine as usual) and interfaced with the factory digital TV tuner. This enabled rear seat passengers to view TV on the rear screens and front seat passengers to view the DVD picture on the front screen (whilst stationary of course!). Additionally, we installed our own proprietary volume adjustment and TV channel selection control panel for rear seat passengers.

This same system specification is now marketed as our “Premium Bentley Rear Seat Entertainment System”.
