Owners' manual and service record storage.

[tonycordon]

Just wondering, what do other V8 Vantage owners do with 'The Book'? When in place it virtually fills the already small glove box, so leave it at home?

[murphyaj]

I leave mine at home. I've never needed it when out so don't see the point of leaving it in the car.

Thers an Aston Martin app where you can enter your win and download your owners manual in pdf. I just use that on the phone and leave the big book at home.

Cannot remember whether already discussed, but does anyone have PDF file version of our owners' manual?
That would solve the storage problem, and also enable us to always have it available for reference.

PDF for Model Year 2009 Vantage please.





Edit - Doh! My question has just been answered. Thank you.

I leave mine on the shelf at the back of the seats

I’m trying to find a link to post here but when I pres it app store tells me the app is no longer available
The app still works on my phone though and I can dowload owners manuals for all the cars.

If your not able to get te app let me know and I’ll get the 2009 vantage manual for you.

I was able to make the Aston Martin android app work, and then I downloaded a computer file version of the 364 page Owner's Manual.

The manual will open on that tablet at any time, but the file is .dat, and therefore will not open on another device. I tried to convert dat to pdf, but the converters tend to have a 2mb limit (the .dat file is 40mb).

A large file would probably not go through email, so I am stuck now.
Ideally it would be very helpful to always have an owner's manual available for reference (pdf) on a memory stick.
Obviously reluctant to download from an unknown source.

Available from ebay. I bought and downloaded it last year (114Mb).
It seems to have all the pages present and correct.
Less than £10.

For those with the App it is fine and still works. You just can't download the App anymore.

Thank you A-DBS. Most helpful.

As I mentioned in my post, I did download the app just a couple of days ago, using an android tablet.
Perhaps Nick's comment is only applicable to Apple.

Correct, Jon.

Android one seems fine just no Apple one

I feel discriminated with my iPhone

[dalecan]

it works on my iphone 6.

I find the glove box too small for anything of use other than the manual, so the book has never left the car except to get stamped at the dealer.

I do have .pdf of shop manual, and all the tech info, OBD II stuff...everything you can get from AM tech info, on my PC and USB stick for the odd job on the car when Ive needed it outside to look at via tablet or laptop.
