DRINKING GAME: Whenever James says “game changer” or “use case proposition” you must do a shot. 🤪

[@jonathonrichards]

1 minute in and I’m already wasted lmao 🤣

[@stevehines5256]

Haha…no point me commenting on the overuse…Mr GCJWW.

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Aston needs to go back to the stow away system and or add touch functionality, a bit like Bentley does, it's just so much better to have a clean timeless design in the long run. Floating fixed panels ruin it for me tbh.

[@aerorobnz]

Which is why I hate most current luxury car interiors. Screens are not luxurious. The DBS is a classically beautiful Aston. inside and out.

[@Real_MisterSir]

@@aerorobnz Yup screens and user interfaces are about the most rapidly self-outdating aspect of modern cars. Only few elements are ever truly timeless: Main volumes, details, and materials used (this includes lighting). Everything else should optimally have minimal presence, or be able to be hidden away so to not grap attention.

[@rogeryoung3587]

Q: How do you like driving your Aston? James: After initiating the AI upgrade, it quite literally changed the use-case proposition following the installation of Apple CarPlay.

[@DenisKudlik]

my 18 year old e46 has android auto/apple carplay, too. high quality aftermarket headunits are a great thing. but upgading the screen, processing and software of the oem unit and have it feel like an OEM+ type deal is amazing

[@jim_bocho]

Love these kind of mods. Really cool that there are companies that put in the effort and develop systems for cars where you can't just swap in a DIN or double DIN system.

[@pasquale78]

Take a shot every time James says: "game changer". ;)

[@RB-ir5yo]

Could not agree more. I have had the lot fitted to my 2008 DBS. James and his staff are fantastic, so friendly and knowledgable. And as James WW says, it transforms the car, it really does.

[@xxquackixx178]

Cant relate with the feeling in the DBS but i can relate to the feeling of a nice looking and behaving infotainment system. Wasnt happy with the touchscreen interfaces of almost every manufacturer (unresponsive, bad UI design, bad resolution screens) until I got my Model 3. This just feels like an iPad and not like an 2000s TomTom satnav.

🔝Much love and thanks for your support FAM! get access to private crypto mentorship group weekly 👆📩

[@colbee4894]

What an awesome upgrade, a discrete contemporary solution - nice! Same car here, DBS manual in Casino Royale but based in US - do Aston Installations support this market?

[@menefrega13]

Yes we do. And we already have a few partners working with our kit in the USA.

[@Real_MisterSir]

Honestly, at this point it would be quite incredible to see an entire dash swap to update the whole center console area. Not to change the design itself, but to freshen it up by removing some oldschool buttons and pieces that aren't required anymore, while doing a truly bespoke screen installation - perhaps even with a wider choise of materials instead of only the piano gloss. I'd love to work on the design for such a niche project.

[@GM-fh5jp]

I agree, I've never really liked the waterfall design centre consoles on modern Astons. Rather see a cool setup like a Ferrari Daytona or even the older V8 Vantage from the mid '80s. Outside they have lines of a fighter jet, you gotta have the cockpit syle dashboard to go with it I reckon. And a better fucking gear shift knob....that one is butt ugly.

[@Real_MisterSir]

@@GM-fh5jp There are definitely a lot of options, most importantly is to match the timeless styling of the exterior, because that simply never gets old. What I do appreciate is the incorporation of various materials that have value in their character and life they bring to the interior. Lightly processed metals, natural wood with good vein contrasts, and most importantly - details that match their complexity to the material they're made from. Metal details that are intricate and have precision finish - leather wrapped in simple but decisive volumes, etc. They would need to strike a balance between what is contemporarily possible to manufacture, mixed with what is in essence an attempt at ageless beauty. Shapes and components that aren't locked to any specific time period or manufacturing process - or what is in to have in a car right now. I would personally compare it with the cockpit of a high end commercial jet. Something that is clearly pilot (driver) focused, but also has enough space and openness to offer that slight lounge-like feel that is important in a grand tourer. You as a pilot are important, but so is your co-pilot (passenger). It is made for two, and should not compromise here. I would look into ways that the passenger could even have increased space around them, to really invite the aspect of taking someone else along on your trips, even if it's mostly a solo drive on daily basis.

[@fakhata]

I like your boots, what brand is it?

[@Acquiesce77]

Odd question as the original system was actually straight out of a volvo will they be offering the same kit for a Volvo?

[@rv9990]

Give them a call. I think i won't be a problem to fit it in a Volvo.

[@danielb8877]

I never understood why the screens in these cars look like they are angled forward so much, they always look awkward like they aren't fully upright. That said I have never driven the AM with it, I assume it is fully visible and not distracting?

[@FranzTraininand]

You sit in the seat quite low. So when you are looking forward the angle is at the perfect eye level. Or at least it is for me in my 06 Vantage

[@nhgg6378]

SoCool James 007^^

[@LiqdPT]

I'm installing this system in my Vantage right now. Where do you have the controller mounted?

[@LiqdPT]

@@markthoughtswithukrainemas2072 that's not what I'm asking (nor do I think anything is in the boot). I'm asking about the little joystick and buttons you use to navigate thru Carplay. Normally I see it mounted right in front of the armrest, but I don't see that here.

[@francobanzini665]

Had mine installed in a V8 Vantage a couple of years ago - the switch to select between oem Nav, CarPlay/Android and parking cameras is in the ashtray The controller for CarPlay is on the dash between the centre console and steering column

[@menefrega13]

We designed a custom made new insert for the ashtray that can accomodate all the control elements ;-)

[@LiqdPT]

@@menefrega13 ah, yes, I forgot about that as I hadn't seen anything since the post 3 or 4 months ago. I'd use this if I didn't also have a radar detector remote to mount. Will keep it in mind though.

[@aston-martin-internationalist]

Definitely something I plan on having installed in my Vantage along with a reverse camera!

[@richardkennett4086]

It’s amazing how many car companies won’t add new software to previous YR models. Not even BMW will offer for there cars or Mini’s. The market potential is huge. Let’s hope Aston Installations branch out into other brands. JLR is an exception they can add Apple car play on a software update on some cars.

[@lutzweinschenk2471]

I just took a closer look at the new, modernized units Porsche is offering for older cars. Touchscreen, high definition, Android or Apple, and the design of the Sixties, Seventies, Eighties or Nineties. 2500 Euro for my 996 911. Brilliant, a real game chan, no, sorry... 😁
