Updating smartphone integration - carplay
Anyone consider installing a screen capable a running smartphone integration? Like Apple Carplay or Android? The factory map system is like a stone tablet and chisel .
I did this to my 2003 NSX...seemless and modern upgrade.
I'm thinking of installing a screen that would support either in the flip-up screen in my 2015 Vantage. But I would need to figure out how to disassemble the console, tap in to the factory sound system and rear camera.

Any DIY guide for Aston Martin DB9 ? I would like to do it in my DB9.

I've performed this succesfully on my DB9 around 2 years ago and I'm still using it succesfully today. See here a sneak preview of its functioning:
Mine's just the Garmin (with Bluetooth, Wireless TPMS, wireless rear-view camera) but an Apple Carplay integration is fairly straight forward too from a mechanical perspective. The challenge lies with integrating music thru your car Audio but with a Dension integration can be done, NP

Rich from Redpants is holding a Tech Day at the end of the month where experts from England will be showing and installing this type of stuff. I plan on having it installed in my 2007 V8V. I agree with you that the old navigation and lack of modern integration is a bummer.
I would check out his thread on this forum called "Interest in a Tech Day?".

I am planning to attend Tech Day. Still waiting for available options for infotainment and pricing. I chatted with James from Aston Installations UK (coming to Tech Day). He mentioned about HDMI option which is not CarPlay. I asked him about installing iPad Mini or another screen and haven't heard back. I like the NavTool option posted by GDay2. I contacted NavTool asking about their installation manual. They say it is for dealers only and not for DIY ... which doesn't make any sense.

overall is likes to have option to have images on both screens with ability to switch between, etc.

Anyone have any better solutions since this feed was posted? I think replacing the factory nav screen is ideal, its wasted, outdated and clearly unused by many. If we are able to replace it with a new LCD that has a clearer image with a toggle for input, that would be amazing

That is the best we have right now. Not bad at all. I have been using it everyday and works great.
I agree new LCD screen would be great. Somebody here replaced factory screen with touch screen here https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...n-upgrade.html
You might also want to check with Rich @ RedPants for more info. Aston Installations will be at Rich's location 10/5 - 10/8.

i've tried to contact Rich, but he never responded directly through his website. I'm an hour from Tampa and would make the trip, but would want to confirm things before hand. Thanks for the info.
