Configurator trouble - DB11

[Wayne95]

I am being stupid?

Trying to spec a DB11, load the configurator and it shows the spinning car, then jumps to a page to enter country and language.

Then can't make it do anything else!

IPAD configurator downloaded -great. NO DB11 !!!

Should it be this painful?

I have been trying to play with it recently and it just does not work.Other models are OK.
Sort of sums up a lot of the frustrations with the brand.

The problems may well be very device and browser specific, as it appears to work just fine for me on ie11 on a windows PC.

What device / browser are you guys seeing the problems with?

Clearly poor development - bet they outsourced to a cheap development shop and never considered multiple platforms properly...

Yes to some extent that's true, but in fairness to developers its harder than ever to keep on top of the 101 browsers and the fact many of them auto update on a very regular basis. Not to mention there is always a trade off in want all the latest web tech which tends to work only with the later browsers VS having a more compatible website that doesn't look as good or keep up with the market.

Finally got it to work on my PC

On the Country/Language page I shrunk the page down and a NEXT button appeared. Poor programming really as the bottom banner covered it up in 100% mode on my screen.

Now I can configure my DB11. Not managed to find a price on it though...

It is a shame the IPAD app is from 2014 and does not have the latest models on it - perhaps they just think Aston people do not use modern technology like I-whatevers......

JLR are just investing in a platform to allow customers to place orders and see delivery slots live. I know Aston is not in the mass market, but the experience should be better.

Ref. delivery dates.
From what has been mentioned publicly by AML, their DB11 orders are for two years production. That probably explains the £50,000 premiums now being asked for, on delivery mileage DB11s.

Good news for the Company having a bulging order book, but probably frustrating for you, Wayne.

Like always many of these cars have been bought by dealers, and will be for sale at normal prices when everything has cooled down a bit in 6-9 months from now. And then the DB11 Volante will be announced, and the same story starts over again.

That's pretty close to the spec I came to.

Although I am also considering the darker blues.

I like these wheels though.

Will be forward I to my AM dealer to see where we are on delivery. if it's a while, at least I will get more use out of the vantage
