I am updating my phones and have looked at the phones that are listed as being compatible for the security Eurowatch I find both on the AM web and eurowatch lists appear to be some years old.
Can anyone confirm whether or not which of the later phones will work with the security system.
I was looking at the Nokia lumia 820 for the business and for my own phone Samsung gallaxy ace 2 purely to limit cutting edge technology!!! As Aston technology has not been exactly advanced, so has anyone got these phones and do they work with the security.
Do not suggest the Iphone p l e a s e......

Update....Well after a number of calls the only one giving accurate info was Eurowatch who stated most phones will work, the Nokia lumia and the Galaxy were fairly common, the only make that has caused problems was HTC... sorry Tony.. this also is confirmed by my own experience with a HTC Mozart 7 which just would not pair with Eurowatch but did operate with the in car system. I got a very simple Nokia to pair with the Eurowatch so the last 18 months has been Ok but now I want to get sensible phones.

Astons were vague saying it depends on the vehicle year and the phone operating system and the bluetooth version, the dealer just said they did not know.
However I will update when the phones arrive next week...

After thought.....would it be more sensible to upgrade to the new DB9...just a thought...
