Fuse 22, Where Are You?
Discussion

fuse 22..It's in the fuse box in the boot/trunk on the right side.
OK, I might be being really thick here, but I opened the box in the boot and it's just got a row of fuses - no diagram and no numbers beside the fuses. Which one is it?
thanks

The box holding the fuse is black, and the fuse numbers are embossed on this black plastic making it hard to read. Look very carefully (magnifying glass?) and you'll see the numbers are there. Ignore the numbers on the fuse as they identify the type of fuse and not it's number.
Aha. Since turning 40, my near distance eyesight has been waning...I'll have a third attempt today...thanks

G55DXB, thanks.
Well I finally found it, and the car sounds wonderful. It's *so* loud, I might have to put the fuse back in...I wish they had a switch on the dashboard for it.

Wonder if its worth taking it to a specialist in vehicle interior re-trims/entertainment (Birds or such like?) and getting a very discrete switch fitted under the dash on the drivers side that effectively removes this fuse from the circuit? That shouldnt be that hard really (would just need a line breaker effectively?) and you could then have noise on demand as it were without the need to get your hands dirty.

AM Works Service will do it (and not affect the warranty).....but it costs!!

Figured that they might, is the noise not worth the money? As cool as the car is I cant help thinking how much cooler it would be with a discrete "LOUD" button on the dash somewhere. (says the person who cant afford the £80K Aston
) So I guess factoring that job into the purchase price might be good advice for future purchasers

What does 'fuse 22' do exactly?
The same as "uncorking the exhaust"...www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=238329&f=70&h=0
i.e. it makes the car loud all the time

Perhaps we could get a "group buy" going for it...
I asked this on another thread but didnt get a reply, would one of you be good enough to answer it for me.
If i take out fuse 22 will a warning light definitely come on? Will putting the fuse back in remove the warning light or will i need to get this reset? Can i do this myself?
thanks

bund... IIRC..some have had warning light on others have not!!! Could be totally wrong though
It's not too loud, and the 700w premium audio system is easily capable of drowning out the exhaust note. 
I have had the fuse out for more than six week (3,500 km) and while the car went in for its first service and have had no warnings or problems. It's very easy to do, but I do not guarantee that it might not cause trouble in anyone else's car.

I've got a loud button, it is invoked with the following procedure:
1. Turn off 750w stereo
2. Lower window
3. Drop a gear or two
4. Nail the throttle.
This seems to happen when ever I see a big wall, house or bridge to bounce the amaising sound off. The wife is less than impressed.
What colour is your car? Looks bloody nice!

Hi Mine is Almond Green, it is the nearest to AMRG that I could get at the time for 'free'. I love the colour, sort of proper racing Aston Colour, from the classics....Cheers...
