Hello Hari,
Beautiful vehicle !
Welcome aboard.
As to the infotainment system being slow on the 2012 and up units, yes, it is a known problem, it does not have to do with pairing any phone, it is a problem with the unit itself, a few on here have had the same issue, as in the unit takes for ever to start, very long to change stations, or to select between inputs, of the members I have spoke with on here and elsewhere by phone, they all state that the Bentley dealer claims they have never had this problem before or ever heard of it, yet you can search for the many YouTube videos of people showing their 2012-2015 infotainment systems lagging and freezing up, a member on hear even commented how what the dealer said was an outright lie, Bentley says that the only fix is to replace the head unit at around $6000.00 , their was a software update in 2012-2014, but now Bentley claims that there never was one...
There is a sequence of button presses to get to the info screen, but that info is for the 2004 to 2011 units, I do not have the info on the 2012 and up unit with me at the moment.

Imagine being able to do this.

If you really want to do it, I put together some instructions with LOTS of help from lilo1980, who first figured this out in the thread you linked to. PDF with parts sources, software and instructions at Post #11 here. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ring-help.html
I've limited experience with experience with car audio stuff and was able to get it going. Making sure to order the right parts was the biggest challenge, followed by the software installation.
Many kudos to lilo1980 for figuring this out.
edit... the big lag in timing to get it done was awaiting for some of the parts to arrive from overseas, which took ~3 weeks for some of the parts.

Congratulations on your Flying Spur. I replaced a Ghost with a 2014 Flying Spur and think it is a much nicer car. In my 2008 GT Speed I have no trouble with the back up camera coming on but in the Flying Spur it always takes time to initialize. Welcome to the forum there are many members with helpful information.
