Car Play options for 2013 Vanquish

[Simon T]

Want to retrofit Apple CarPlay. What are my options if I don't want seperate controller?

You probably already know Simon but I would suggest speaking to James Hawkes-Reed at Aston Installations. They recently announced on their socials that their CarPlay offering can now be used with the AM OEM infotainment controls, eliminating the need for their separate rotary controller. Although at the moment I think it could only be in relation to the “second” generation dash, ie the one which first debuted on Gaydon DBS with the glass key. I don’t know if it is possible with the last haptic dash fitted to Vantage, which is the same as found in your Vanquish. I’d certainly give them a call or drop them an email as a starting point. HTH a bit, and lovely car by the way. I saw your post in one of the Facebook groups today. Not too long to wait now! BRM.

Report back if you can Simon, I also have the non-glass key dash in and an earlier vantage.
