stereo options question

[franki68]

am I right in thinking the v12v comes with a aston stereo ,you then have an option of the premium aston stereo or the more expensive b& o system ?
..and the dbs ...the premium stereo system is standard and you have the option of the b&o system (older dbs models ..I know the current one has the b&o as standard ?

Regarding DBS only...

It either comes with Alpine Premium (older models) or B&O (newer models). Switch is somewhere between 00753 and 00779. B&O was never an option...it just wasn't ready in time. That's why early models of DBS had Alpine Premium.

Early owners were the lucky ones!!! I still think the alpine sounds better...

I think lots of people are in Gaydon today - I recall (but can check tomorrow when I am home) that the Premium audio was standard on the V12.

Correct on both counts.

According to the Register Franki, the 160W was standard from the outset, with the Premium System as optional.

B&O was optional from MY2010 onwards

thanks all,btw jockman your issue with a certain dealer was it over them increasing the price of a vehicle ? I have had 2 conversations with the same dealer recently to be told a price on 2 cars,when I then asked to view the price suddenly rose £2000 on each one .

Yup - Wilmslow still up to its old tricks ?? My difference was nearer £5k.

Shame really, it used to be quite good

+1

I would trade in the B&O for the Alpine system right away! (the DBS Volante was offered with B&O only from the start)
