Has anyone changed their older radio with the newer one? can it be done?

 

I want to do the same The console and cup holder are the weakest links in my 07 vantage I asked my aston dealer and he just said are u sure? He was going to do some research but never got back to me. Guess a brand new console will be very expensive. Got me thinking if I can just get some salvage parts.
It will probably fit size wise but the controls might be different. If there is no sat nav and Bluetooth chances might be better.
Im guessing here Would love to hear from someone who has actually tried it

 

Start by removing the metal shelf behind the seats. This will expose 2 screws to take out the armrest. This will then expose 2 more screws to take off the shifter. This will then expose 2 more screws at the base of the console waterfall.

 

^^^Does metal shelf just pry out? also how do you take out shift boot ring?

 

To take out the metal shelf (it's really only trim) pull up the carpet shelf with the fabric tag. On the passenger side you'll find the battery. On the driver's side is the sub-woofer. There are five screws and one hex bold (pass side).

I don't recall how to remove the shifter boot though it isn't necessary to access the waterfall screws. Do be careful not to pinch wires when putting her back together.
