A quick Google search will show you that this problem affected a lot more brands than Aston, including BMW and Mercedes. So, shortsighted by someone yes, not not necessarily Aston. Looks like some sort of mess-up between Apple and the Automotive OEMs to me - the European OEMs in particular.

Yes, but the Scosche adapter is large and ungainly.
The cable just plugs into the car. 2 second job (see the photo I posted - I pulled it out to take the photo of it). £70 isn't too bad for a clean solution. Definitely worth it for me.

And does "from MY2008" mean that there is already one in later cars? Looks like a typo. And the "08MY From (V) D07649" usually means it can't be used in cars older than that model year and VIN.

Thanks, Karl. I also think it's a typo.
I notice that there are no alternative part numbers for that UIP Assy, so I'm hoping that I already have the part that I need and that the cable I bought will work out of the box.
