Can't find it online, or in any old brochures, tests or reviews... Can anybody give me a clue?

Thanks in advance, Mark

As an '05 DB9 owner, my recommendation is simple: just forget that it's supposed to have sat-nav and use the one in your modern smart phone.

It's utter crap. Even if you remember how to activate it, you need to pull out the manual to figure out how to shut it down again.

I can drive to town, park the car, go to the store, buy a recent smart-phone and get driving directions faster than you can enter a destination in the DB9's nav system :-)

Being a traditionalist when it comes to car dash functionality, I actually like the fact that I am never tempted to pop that impostor of a nav system up, thus I never have to look at a computer screen. It's buttons and switches all the way :-)

I am certainly abandoning the Aston satnav but I need to know the size to find an alternative to fit in place of the Aston screen.

Cheers, Mark

I think you will find the Garmin nuvi3597LMT is a perfect fit. 5" screen and an awesome piece of kit.

It is in mine.
