Magnetic charge connector.

Booked into Aston Installations to have one of these fitted, anyone here have one?

Yep, did mine a year ago and now used it all the time. Several others picked up the post and all have found it a great addition, and so functional. Sorry I can't post a link to the thread, but easily searched.

All up, such a cheap and easy upgrade, with no downsides, removes risk of starting up with charger connected as it automatically disconnects if you make a mistake.

Like fighter a/c on readiness - just gun it out of the hangar and all the cables fall away

Mine came with the car because I have a newer model.

There have been threads about it and I am not alone in finding it more quirky to connect than say directly to a battery or through a 12v or cigarette outlet.

Personally I could live without it. I have 5 cars. Two I connect through a pigtail to the battery, two through a 12V outlet and the magnetic on the Aston.

The magnetic is the only one likely to need a jingle when connected, the rest never an issue. It was a solution in search of a problem, IMO.

My car has to be reversed into the garage so the connector will be going in the recess just above the rear number plate.

Apologies to Aston Installations for shamelessly 'borrowing' their image!
