DB9S Carbon Edition. I bought my DB9 with various Carbon parts such as the interior, many parts are made from Carbon Fibre (Waterfall, door caps, door pulls etc.) and when my side mirrors were vandalised I replaced them with DB9 GT carbon mirrors. at this point I decided to update various other parts to match….

DB9 Carpet Finisher
DB9 Carpet Finisher, for some reason I can’t fathom some DB9s came with front carpet finishers and some don’t. As far as I can tell these right angled finishers bolt down just inside of the seat rails. Mine 2006 DB9 did not have these finishers and the carpet had already ripped on the passenger side….
Aston Martin Alloy Seat Controls
Aston Martin Alloy Seat Controls, Most DB9s came with black plastic seat controls, either with or without memory and they look fairly cheap and low quality in such a high quality car, later cars came with Alloy controls which looked much better but the wiring is completely different. My car (2006 DB9 Volante) came with…
Aston Martin DBS/DB9 Android Auto
Aston Martin DBS/DB9 Android Auto. The stock Aston Martin DB9/DBS/Vantage Satellite Navigation had poor reviews when the car was first launched in 2004, now nearly 20 years later it is very dated and difficult to use. The Audio system although it sounds good is fiddly to use and can only use AM/FM radio or CDs….

Updated Aston Martin Sunvisors
Updated Aston Martin Sunvisors. The earlier DB9 and Vantages had a very basic sunvisor with a mirror that is not covered, I found this to be quite distracting (and unpleasant!) to be looking at myself in the mirror every time I had the (admittedly not overly useful) sun visors down. I decided to upgrade to…
Aston Martin Custom Glass Switches
When The Aston Martin DB9 was launched in 2004 it was met with almost universal acclaim, with only a few negative comments, one recurring comment was that the switchgear looked very cheap and nasty. In 2012 Aston Martin introduced “Glass switches”, these looked much better than the original plastic switches. The original Heated screen switches…

DB9 armrest upgrade
DB9 armrest upgrade. The early DB9s and Vantages had a very flat armrest with cupholders but no storage space, later cars had an much better armrest with storage inside and cupholders at the front, it looks much more in keeping with the rest of the car and is more practical. As well as storage it…
