I'm thinking of installing their CarPlay and rear parking camera products on my new Virage.

Anyone have any experience of them? It looks good on their videos.

PS hoping to collect the Virage tomorrow smile


Thanks

Had the same system installed by Josh Pearce and co Aston specialist in Surrey.
They are an approved installer for Aston installations

My (new shape) Vantage had that installation done by the original owner, and you wouldn't know it wasn’t factory, including the extra USB port in the glovebox. Obviously I don’t know what they’re like to deal with as a company, but the kit is great.

That’s what I had fitted and works as good as the factory system and looks the same

I had CarPlay installed in my vantage a few years back. Great service great people.

Just before lockdown I was having a few intermittent problems. James ripped out the entire system and gave me an upgraded version no quibbles and no cost.

I'm planning to have the system installed with front camera by their agents in Basingstoke (Pheonix Aston).

Just had my db9.2 carplay upgrade done at Aston Installations today, along with some interior carbon upgrades fitted by them at the same time. Approx 4 hours from drive in to drive out, endless supply of tea/coffee/banter, a go on their PS5 Vantage Racer on the Brands Hatch circuit, all good. 4 hour drive home was plenty of time to play with the carplay system. Really happy with it on day 1, the sound improvement in the car (Aston premium audio system)was very noticeable, I presume because its full dolby pro logic via the aux (I’m not a car stereo nerd) instead of radio FM/streaming BT?

Does anyone have any pictures of the camera installs on a vantage, I’m interested but not keen if the cameras really stand out which is impression I get specific to vantage.

I am interested in this upgraded HD screen. Specifically, is it plug & play one should wish to keep the original system, meaning just upgrade the screen?

Superb guys, great products too. I'm lucky enough to have their 360 degree camera system on my DBS. I need to get the HD screen upgrade added when I next have the car in the UK

I believe it is a direct replacement of your current screen, this is what I was interested in also and Pheonix (AI local agent) stated it replaces my screen. I've been quoted for the upgrade with hi Res screen and front camera.

They are very well regarded, my Vanquish is going in next week for a front camera.

Hi EVR
They have developed their own HD screen unit which replaces the original screen set up. Very neat and so clear!

They are the best at what they do and they are also 3D printing parts now, so they are continually upping their game. Plus, you can have your car detailed there by me too.
