Power, beauty, soul...

[outofstepuk]

Ok, just a small thing, but I find the whole power, beauty, soul thing on start up to be a bit cheesy. Can it be changed? I'm no computer expert, but surely it's a simple bit of code. Anyone know if/how this can be done?

Just think of the options. "Pipe and slippers" for the DB9's for example...

Yes, it can be changed to, 'Just.Ignore.It".

It is super cheesy

You are right - quite likely just firmware. I think the chap in the US who has done all sorts of mods to his car (his name escapes me currently) might have an answer - or maybe post in the Bamford thread?

What about
"Good
Morning
Dave"

For a slightly more sinister start to the day?

It was meant to be light hearted.

apologies, as was mine.

I don't notice it and I don't find it particularly cheesy.

I do like the HAL idea though Is there any way to get it to sing Daisy, Daisy when you turn it off?

[mikey k]

IIRC it is different on the later cars (only slightly less cheesy!)
Can't remember the last time I looked at it!

+1

Perhaps it can be changed as the display on the ínfotainment consol can be - mine does not say Premium Audio when I switch it on it says DB9

Doesn't it say 'pure Aston Martin' or something along those lines on newer cars? I presume it's just a software update then?

[redkite]

I think the new ones say "Pure,Aston,Martin"

That's it
My old car said Power Beauty Soul
in fairness whilst it is cheesy it is an accurate description

[redkite]

knew i had one somewhere ....

They are still using power/beauty/soul for some things

I wonder what the Cygnet says when you start it up? If that says 'pure Aston Martin' that really is terrible.

I would suggest it says "UNpure Aston Martin"

If this can be changed... I'd be very interested in having it done - what there is doesn't bother me, but nice to personalise.

Not sure what I would love to look at every day for the rest of my life... but sure I could think of something.
