Not sure what you're expecting to learn here. There are tons of aftermarket A/V systems out there and not many owners on the site have replaced the stock audio. You'd probably have more luck with your questions on a car audio forum.

OP: Space bar is your friend when posting pics. Either that or put the code on another line? The pics are spread out in one long horizontal line......

As for your question about the audio system, why don't you ask for the model numbers on the components and Google them? Have you asked the dealer if there are any records/receipts for the system or the install? Me, I'd be leery of any car with an aftermarket sound system especially not knowing who did the install and what the quality of the install is. BTDT. Good luck.

Good question... I am a car audio guy and havent seen anything quite like this... But.... if it sounds good.. looks like Alpine parts (a plus)... go for it! A backup camera is definitely a plus on the car.

As stated above: looks like the only thing we can make out for sure is that Alpine control unit. It's for sure a custom job and looks like the install was thought out, clean and tasteful. This falls into the personal choice area. Personally, I wouldn't want a custom audio install over the stock equipment... But I'm more of a "purist" guy.

What is the asking price if I may ask?

It may sound better, but I'd give this some thought before pulling the trigger. Personally, I wouldn't want an aftermarket A/V system in an exotic like an Aston, especially if it means modification of the interior (which this has). Even if it doesn't bother you, you still need to consider resale.
