Owner's book always with you

[EVR]

Maybe you guys know that already, but it took me somewhat by surprise so, you never know...

When I was looking for an English owner's book on PDF (the one in my car is in French), turns out you can download the official Aston Martin app on your iPhone, select your model and there you go, you have a manual always with you and exportable in PDF. From now on, I will leave the big book at home, more space in the glovebox.

I have no clue if you can have the same app on Android though.

Yes its on android, and very useful

Great thank you.

I never got a manual with the AMi III upgrade (seems you don't despite the cost) so this is very handy!

It is also a handy way of printing additional Service Record pages.

Given the huge number of new owners who asked me the SportShift PDF guide, I thought about bumping this one up to the front page, it's very useful but little known.

Bumping this up again for new owners.

Any idea why I cannot download the manual via Aston Martin app? I have iphone ios 13 in use and regardless i define VIN or select whatever model, the download won't start after tapping the pdf. I also sent email to their customer support but did not get any response. Is the app working normally for you?

I bought my Virage as German edition, so I really would need English manual somewhere.

Working fine for me on an iPhone X iOS 13.5.1.

But try to click my Dropbox link above, you should be able to at least have it in PDF on your computer.

Are these Owner's Books available for all Astons?

I think so, download the app yourself and take a look!

Nope - doesn't work for me either (iPhone with latest iOS). The VIN "search" never concluded. Just entered the car/year using the alternative method. Then the manual wouldn't download.

Thankfully Aston make cars and not apps.

Doesn't really bother me, but bit of a half-hearted app that's probably forgotten about by the company now.

I used to have my manual downloaded (a couple of years ago). I tried recently and had to log back in and I got the same as above. Obviously they updated the app at some point and made it worse!

My Dropbox public link a couple posts above still has it if needed.

I have also downloaded the App to my iPhone 11 running the latest operating system. Very frustrating as everything works except downloading the Owner's Guide for my 2016 DB9 GT Volante.

Setting the time - Hello guys, I recently bought a Vantage S v8 2016. I’ve been trying to figure out how to set the time (clock). In settings, there is an option to manually set the time but it’s only an on/off toggle. Can anyone advise?

According to my 2015 Owner's Guide it seems to depend if you have SatNav. if you do apparently you press "Nav", use the screen and joystick controller to go to "Settings" then enter "Time".

Perhaps the "Settings" toggle you found tells the system whether to use Nav time or not? If your 2016 is one of the face-lifted versions with the touch-sensitive buttons this may not apply.

As an aside, my clock seems to never need adjusting.

Thank you. It appears that I need to update the software as the car has been imported from Germany according to AM service centre in Dubai.
