I know u shouldn't (because you buy the lifestyle rather than the car) but how on earth do we let am getting away with this kind of careless design???
They don't really get away with it if they see that there's a problem and then release a newer version with it fixed do they?Now the indicator stalks - they're a problem we're letting them get away with!
I have a 2007 V8 Vantage with Bluetooth. The steering wheel controls only address the phone system. However, now listed on the accessories page of the V8 Vantage web page of the astonmartin.com website is an upgrade to the Bluetooth system. I've checked with my dealer and if this is installed you not only get the updated Bluetooth system but also get the steering wheel controls to operate the entertainment system as in the 2008 and later cars. Not a cheap upgrade but at least Aston makes it possible. I also have the Aston iPod upgrade installed on my car which is fully integrated and works very well. So I believe this feature will also integrate and work very well.

Anybody can tell if the upgrade to the Bluetooth system mentioned by Henry M works on the DB9 (MY2007) also? not cheap = how much (roughly)?Henry

My company designs software. I occasionally sit with the engineers to listen in and contribute. Now the indicator stalks - they're a problem we're letting them get away with!
Something like this would get picked up in a nanosecond and designed into the product. I'd fire my software architects that were too incompetent or lazy to consider something as basic as this. Ho hum, maybe designing the cabin for a car is significantly different.
