Tire inflator kit

So in my car the compressor was just on the floor. It's the one that comes with the car AFAIK, but in the fuse 22 video this guy removes the compressor kit from right above the fuse box, on the other side of the carpet!


This looks like a way better use of space than the bulky one I have (the continental one). Does anyone know where can I get this kit?

~thanks!

For North America this is the newer machine for Aston(comes in a black pouch), bottle and machine are not assembled together like the previous units...new unit takes less space...just goto your locak dealer or shop on ebay..etc

I was hoping to get an alternative, not-Aston branded, kinda like the CTEK trickle charger deal

It's not branded by them, Continental makes it for Aston

Follow up to this. In some of my reading on the cars, it says the tire inflator kit stores behind a cover in the boot section.
My car came with it stowed in the left corner of the boot (along with nav dvds) but I see no allowance for a carpeted cover (ie like the right side has) this is for a coupe.

Also, this is great to find out about the conti inflator kit, my aston kit expired so I need a new one anywa

Here's a link to the kits on ebay for $65.

I also note you can buy Hyundai version for $45.

Coupe is on the left area with the strap securing everything in place...the Roadster is behind the RH carpet panel with a bracket and strap to secure the lot

Aha! That would explain a lot. I wonder if us with the coupe could retrofit the roadster's bracket/strap... more trunk space is more trunk space!

as an update, I bought the kit from the seller after a make offer price of $55 was accepted. I noted that the BMW branded identical kit is priced at $129 so imagine the AM one is probably 2 or 300.

Do you have a coupe? hard to tell by your avatar. If so, how are you planning on strapping it inside the trunk liner?

I do have a coupe, I figure I'll attach to the left side of the boot where the dvds and the bulky inflator go, I'll figure out something

I have heard somewhere that the tyre air compressor electrical lead is not long enough to reach the rear tyres?
