Front mounted parking camera

Thinking about the above for my V8 Vantage. Any ideas of cost for my budgeting purposes? TIA David

Aston Installations I believe do this modification.

Great knowledge of our cars. Speak to James and I am sure he will advise you of options and costs.

Highly recommend and they have upgraded one of ours to Apple CarPlay and put dash cams on both. Excellent job

[David Ramsbotham]

Yes, I know they do it but I’m in Portugal at the moment and they are not responding to my request for info via their website!
Thought somebody out there must have had it done and knows how much.

Oooohh - which model year and was it an upgrade from AMi ii? Last I heard it wasn't possible to upgrade to CarPlay from some of the later cars, annoyingly. I'll be pleased if James can do that now. He said he was hoping to.

Sorry , I thought my original question would be easy to answer by someone who had had it done ! Perhaps it’s a closely guarded secret, anyway never mind.

You'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Your original post is only about 7 hours old.

Breakdown as follows

HDMI iPhone Mirror kit and reverse camera - Fitted to Aston Martin DBS £790.83
Aston Martin Parking Camera (Multi angle) £500.00

Aston Installations have just developed a bespoke 360 degree camera system I think its around £3,500 , it was fitted to a fellow PHers Blue DBS , which was on show at Beaulieu this year Looked a superb bit of kit
, I can fully recommend Aston Installations just give Lenny or James a call

cheers
DBS

It was put on a MY2015 V12VSR. If you go on the website it is our car that is on display. Works really well and no more having to think about updating the sat nav and now always use Waze.

DBS, thank you so very much for your response, exactly the info I was looking for. Couldn’t be clearer, cheers, David.

Much appreciated, thanks, Ian. James had mentioned he had a car coming in but I got the sense not until autumn. I'm off to their website now.

That looks excellent. Helped my Flugplatz - wonderful colour.

Sadly I'm the trapped middle - mine's a 2016 model year and they can only do up to 2015. Weirdly, it is possible to upgrade DB11s, DBSSs and the new Vantage to CarPlay, just not late-model old Vantages. Still, if I had a newer car I would definitely upgrade - that old Merc system is woeful.
