09-11 V8V MY changes - definitive list anywhere?

[drcarrera]

Anyone know of a list which details MY differences in the later V8 Vantages?
For example I believe MY10 introduced the larger mirrors, MY11 a different TPMS. Didn't emissions change at some point as well?

Just out of interest, really. Picking my car up next week and would be interested to know what's changed since MY09 and try to judge whether it's for the better or worse!

MY10 the front grill went to 6 horizontal slats instead of 8 before.

I know that's a tiny thing, but maybe we can grow a list.

Side sills standard on MY 2011. Lower emissions.

MY11 Satnav is HDD with full postcode, it's still crap though!
MY11 HID's, Powerfold exterior mirrors are now standard
Not sure the N400 sills are standard (not according to AM website )
MY10 larger mirrors, 6 slat grill
Not a lot of change really!

[drcarrera]

So, we've got so far :

2010
Larger Mirrors
6-slat grille

2011
HIDs + powerfold mirrors now standard (or was this 2010MY)
Full postcode search (but can be "retro fitted" with an updated disk AFAIK)
Fuse 15 is the new fuse 22

Not sure if the emissions changes came in MY11 or 10.
Also, when did the telephone mic move to the roof in front of the driver?

HIDs + powerfold mirrors were standard on the MY10
Full postcode search and HDD satnav are also on MY10
The latest emissions changes arrived in MY11
Also with MY11 was an improvement to the tyre pressure monitoring, I believe the pressure readings are visible on the in-car screen now

If you can tell me where to look for the telephone mic I can look on my MY10

Thanks.

The mike on "my" car (collecting in about an hour!) is in the headlining above the front windscreen I think - it's a small round metal grille.

I've got TMC! Just noticed the TMC is working on my satnav, so I guess that's another MY11 change!

So ...

2010
Larger Mirrors
6-slat grille
HIDs + powerfold mirrors now standard
TMC works in UK

2011
Full postcode search (but can be "retro fitted" with an updated disk AFAIK)
Fuse 15 is the new fuse 22
Updated TPMS - pressures displayed in instrument info screen
PBS is now "Pure Aston Martin"
Emissions changes (not sure what else this affects)

I have a MY10 and it has working TMC on the SatNav - I think all the updates to the SatNav were for 2010MY

Ta. List updated...

I really don't get it that we can't call the dealer and ask for all the changes... It very unprofessional... don't they get briefed on that?

You'd have thought they'd be briefed, wouldn't you!
When showing me the sat nav on my car he skipped passed the TMC menu, saying "that's not activated on V8 Vantages". That's why I was surprised to later find it was! To be fair, that was one small blemish on an otherwise excellent dealer experience, though.

Anyway, it's more fun finding out this way, isn't it? !
