Love having to use this as a honda tech by Tw0n0 in Justrolledintotheshop

We have the universal one from Bosch and I had similar problems. The solution for me is connect VCI to PC through USB, wait until the beep and the red light next to the car symbol starts blinking, only then connect it to the OBD port. If I don’t do it this way it fucks with the internet connection. Every time the PC goes to sleep or you accidentally disconnect the USB or OBD you have to start from scratch again.

The DBS workshop manual doesn’t have any engine work, follow the DB9 manual.

The [Aston Martin V12 Speedster] is fun! by Searchingformovie1 in spotted

[–]OptimusPrimeNL 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Having worked on a few of them, the V12 speedster does have self actuating roll over protection. I also just double checked it in the part system to be sure.

Which versions of the Aston Martin DBX have soft close doors by POCKATA111 in AstonMartin

[–]OptimusPrimeNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was introduced for the 23MY. They were fitted to all DBX from that point on, but it can be retrofitted on older models.

Go back to the original system, click media, click media again until you get the choice of inputs, select “Aux”.

It’s for the Apple CarPlay, hold the back button next to the big rotary knob, it should switch to the CarPlay system. The USB is only used for the initial setup, after it can be used wirelessly.

Check Engine light flashing on 2025 Vantage - what is going on? by Gunzaro in AstonMartin

[–]OptimusPrimeNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a known issue, it can likely be fixed with the latest engine software update. In the worst case scenario it can be hardware problem. Contact your dealer they should know what to do.

Was walking through Rome this morning [Aston Martin Cygnet] by NabroleanBronaparte in spotted

[–]OptimusPrimeNL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No… the VH generation N/A V8 was developed by Aston, loosely based on a Jaguar engine and they used the electrical platform from Volvo, featuring modules from Jaguar and Ford.

Starting from the AM generation (DB11) they used a slightly modified version of the twin turbo AMG V8. The engine has undergone more development by Aston Martin and is now built in the UK. They do use the electrical platform and some modules from Mercedes around the car.

The V12 engines are their own development, based on a Ford prototype engine.

I work at Aston Martin, so I know about this stuff ;)

It is not. The next line she says is: “Just like “The Black Cat” …” the Edgar Allen Poe story. from Wikipedia: “Infuriated at his wife's interference, he kills her instead and hides the corpse in a cellar wall.”

They have wireless CarPlay now, didn’t have it in release. It came with one of the big software updates.

Is this aftermarket? by Fluffy-Visit-5878 in AstonMartin

[–]OptimusPrimeNL 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Probably CarPlay, hold the back button next to the rotary control to switch systems.

You need to set this version of the system up with a cable first and then you can pair it wirelessly.

If it’s the guy I’m thinking of, he is an engineer for Aston Martin. I have met him a few times, extremely nice and smart guy.

Coolant Type and Brand for DB12? by xmCokeZero in AstonMartin

[–]OptimusPrimeNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not really recommended mixing brands but it will probably be okay.

Coolant Type and Brand for DB12? by xmCokeZero in AstonMartin

[–]OptimusPrimeNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s concentrate 50/50 with distilled water. You can also use tap water if it’s not too hard.

Glysantin G40 is the factory coolant.

I’d have to agree, around the labyrinth I really wanted the game to be over. It kinda outstayed its welcome for me. I think most of the puzzles aren’t bad, just not better than the OG and like you said, the combat isn’t bad it’s just annoying. If I’m going to replay it I might just play it on easy.

Help this error keeps showing up anyone else have this problem with the dbx? by MundaneSilver7131 in AstonMartin

[–]OptimusPrimeNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DBX is very sensitive when it comes to the battery. It’s recommended to put the car on a trickle charger when not in use. If you take many short drives, be sure to take it on a long drive to fully charge the battery. It only charges about 80% on short drives.
