Well, I purchased some new audio gear. The unit has CD, DTS Audio, DVD-Audio (including a full 5.1 discrete channels of audio) and XM Sat Radio. Plus a full Blue Tooth setup.
The best part about the new gear is the packaging and design/layout. I think it's awesome. Remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone will like the layout, but too each his own. What do you think?

The Gray (Quartz) interior pictures from their gallery are the better ones IMHO. I decided to get the black (Ebony) interior. The car is the Satin Silver Metallic outside.
I've only had it for a week, so I'm still adjusting and playing around with the audio system. But so far. 8O 8O 8O I've heard the Mark Levinson option in the Lexus LS430. It's a wonderfull system, a 2 channel auto marvel. But it's part of a $6,000+ option package if I'm not mistaken. And I'm not sure that it's much better than this, except in the power output area. But it does not support DTS/DVD-Audio (they claim THIS is the 1st production vehicle to have such wonderment ) I have not heard the LINN system in any of the Aston Martins. (I WISH!!!) I've read reviews, I can only imagine.
This is without a doubt the best sounding (even 2 channel) OEM system I have ever heard. I was very happy just for the simple fact that they dumped BOSE for this car. It's Panasonic components designed in conjunction with a 5 time Grammy award winning Producer/Engineer named Elliot Scheiner. I had heard the name before, but to be honest, I wasn't really familiar with him. I guess he told Panasonic what he wanted, and worked with the interior folks on the best possible placement of the drivers. I'm still trying to get the inside skinny on the whole system.
I've already got 1,000+ miles on it. Mostly because I take it out almost every night after the kids go to bed, grab a couple of DVDs, (actually it swallows 6, in dash 8) ) and crusie around town just listening, and enjoying.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house, is to buy a replacement.
