New DB11 owner advice
Discussion
Hello everyone
Had a look for a thread but I am hapless with forums.
Plunged into DB11 ownership, 17 reg, have a few questions of any experienced owners:
Trickle charger: previous Astons have need trickle charging when not in use, where is the charger port in the DB11? Looked in the boot, but could not find it?
Folding mirrors, how on earth do you fold the mirrors in, for example for entry into your garage?
Lights when locking the car: if I don't leave the lights set in auto mode, when I lock the car the passenger side rear light and front daytime running light stay on? Fault or quirk?
Other than that, stunning machine.

Welcome to DB11 ownership ! Trickle charge point is in boot on rhs facing the car. It is a round magnetic disc rather than a socket as used on disability scooters ! Car lasts a long time without charging unlike my old DB9. 4/5 weeks without driving or charging has not been a problem. Suspect it would go longer. Mirrors apparently fold if you hold the left/right switch for a few seconds per the manual. I have never tried. Re the lights there is no off setting - the first position is left side park lamp ! Then right side, then both sides, then dipped bean, then auto and then rear fog. I leave mine on auto.
Hi
Battery charging point is on the RHS, just outside the boot space...accessible when boot is open. It is a magnetic connector. Best bet is to get a ctek charger adapter from here https://www.cccharger.co.uk/product-page/aston-mar... which plugs into any modern ctek charger
Fold the mirrors by turning the outer silver ring on the mirror control and hold it for a few seconds. Either left or right turn will do.
If you turn the lighting control completely anti-clock wise that selects passenger side parking lamps. The next position from here turning clockwise is the driver side parking lamps. If you have selected Side lamps or Dipped beam headlamps or Auto lamps while driving, do not change the selector at all when you park up (unless you want parking lamps). They will go off automatically when the car is locked. I never move mine off AUTO.

I think this might be the link intended above (original goes to a 404): https://www.cccharger.co.uk/product-page/aston-mar...
If you think £40 is a bit toppy, you can make your own for the cost of a few minutes of your time, a mag code connector, and sacrificing one of the leads that comes with a ctek (to get the ctek connector)… which is what I did for another car before people were selling the adapters.
