I had the system installed last week from the thread below. I understand I'm only the 3rd or so in the country so I made a review video which some of you may find useful. It also contains some V8 noise

Looks great, a Vantage with some modern tech available on screen is most unusual wink

If you don't mind telling us, what was the approximate cost?

Hi Geoff,

I believe that for the smartphone link and rear camera it is £895, and then a few hundred more if you want the forward camera too. If you're interested then get in touch with James and he can give you a proper quote.

Hi all,

You'll be able to visit the Trackaphone stand as they are included in the attractions at Burghley.

I'm sure James and his team will welcome your enquiries on the day.

He will have a demonstration car in place for you all to check out to see what is available for your car.

See you there…..thumbup

Do you do home installs and if so do you ever make it to Kent? If yes any chance of weekends too?

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for that, as Ed says we can meet James at Burghley so I'll see what he says then.

Cheers,
Geoff.

Well I've had the rear camera and smartphone link installed this week and I am very impressed with both the product and the service.
I now have full access to Waze (my personal favourite), Google Maps etc, better music compatibility and a very handy rear reversing camera. It's all very neat and simple to use.

James is a lovely chap, very helpful and informative. It is obvious that he is not just very excited by this product but he also has a great understanding of AMs.

They often say you can judge the quality of an organisation's commitment to it's customers best when something goes wrong. Well the day after installation I noticed that the phone wasn't charging when connected to the new system. 'No problem' said James and he called back into the NE that very afternoon whilst travelling back from Glasgow to the Cotswolds. Quite a detour but I am guessing that is typical of the man and his desire to give great service.

I would highly recommend this product.. just got to pay the bill now!!!
