DB9 Audio controls on Stearing wheel
Discussion
talking to a AM dealer about the DB9 2007MY which had the buttons on the Stearing wheel which he said works only a handfree phone not the radio. Reading the AM bible it indicates the SW buttons do also work the radio as well. Do they or not? Seems strange to me that they wouldnt work the radio. Does a 09MY differ?

intersting - so from a 08MY they do/should and before that they may or may not !
Just phone functions pre 08, after that you can change audio tracks and adjust the volume via the wheel.DB9VolanteDriver said:
Could this be a function of which Linn system is installed, or an option, or maybe US vs UK differences? All I know is that the buttons on the wheels control the station selection and volume in addition to the bluetooth. This is for a Linn 950W system.
Quite possibly - 2008 saw the branded 700w system become standard, with all previous Linn audio options no longer available.The Manual states if a feature is explicit to the US - in this case it was not
Burntout - u is hijacking a DB9 thread man !!
Unfortunately for you matey, one of the 2008 Vantage upgrades was the improved bluetooth system, whereby more models of phones were recognised - even then it was only optional.
I suppose you could ask about upgrading your bluetooth - or downgrading your phone ??

Incorrect. My MY06 DB9 steering wheel buttons control the audio in addition to the phone.
Do you mean the volume of the phone Bluetooth speaker via the audio (which it should do) or that you can actually change audio tracks and alter the volume of the stereo even when not using the phone?burntout said:
My car is an 07, the bluetooth wont recognise my iphone, therefore the buttons on my steering wheel do even less...
does anyone know how to get an iphone working with the hands free?? Have followed the manual dot 4 dot......
Yes mate! From a previous thread:-does anyone know how to get an iphone working with the hands free?? Have followed the manual dot 4 dot......
For anyone still having problems this is how to do it (I was using an iphone 4S on a 2006 Vantage):-
Put the iphone Bluetooth into search mode.
Tell the car - Pair phone
Car tells you to put phone into search mode and then type 1 2 3 4 as the bluetooth code.
Phone will see the car - will list as Aston Martin. Put code in
It will then fail! Car says pairing failed.
But you now have the iphone recognising the Aston Martin bluetooth, so on the phone, select "Aston Martin" on the bluetooth menu. It will bring up the boxes to put in the passcode. Put in 1 2 3 4, but do NOT press pair on the phone yet.
Tell the car - pair phone. Then immediatley press the Pair button (top right) on the phone.
Should then pair straght away.
Have checked and phone is always then recognised on startup
