With the boot open, anywhere from completely to just a few millimetres, pressing the lock button on the fob makes the car appear to lock - windows go up, handles close in, mirrors fold, locking sounds on all doors, door handles do not open the doors - but the boot can still be lifted up.
The same locking actions happen when a door is open (anywhere from slightly ajar to entirely open), or when any window is open, allowing access to the inside of the car while appearing locked.
Similar to above, everything appears to lock but the alarm is not set, and doesn't sound if the door is moved and you sit in the vehicle.
While the video shows an obviously open door, the same results happen when a door/window/boot is ajar by only millimetres and not obviously open
This might be one cause of rapid battery drain if the cars are not shutting down properly.

The car mirrors occasionally fail to unfold when the car is unlocked and driven away. The car needs to be stopped, locked and unlocked again, before the mirrors will unfold.

Using the fob can occasionally fail to pop the door handles open - even with several new fob batteries, and using either of the two fobs.
Additonally, manually pushing the rear handles will often fail to open the doors until 2nd or 3rd attempt.

The car will occasionally fail to start while the fob and tracker have had several new batteries and are in their correct position in the cup holder. Shaking the fob key doesn't make any difference. The current solution requires the car to be locked and unlocked, often 2 or 3 times, before the car will start.

On at least three occasions over the past few months, all car windows have opened while the car was parked, twice while locked.
After a supermarket trip, while unpacking the boot, all windows opened. The car doors were closed, the fob was in a drawer within 5m of the car, but obviously untouched.
Overnight, at a different location, while the car was locked with keys in a safe, all windows opened. Se
24 Feb - centre console screen blackout when starting the car. Same result after driving for half an hour, stopping and restarting the car to see if the problem had resolved...again after another hour of driving...and then another hour. Finally came back online the next day.
A similar event happened a couple of months ago, but resolved within 10 minutes.

24 Feb - morning SoC was 70%, drove 2.5 miles to town with AC not working, parked 5 mins, drove home - SoC 51%
For example, 24 Feb - while driving, the AC button was not working, button not lighting up and no change in vents. Stopped the car, still not working, but seconds later pressing windscreen demist button switched AC on and fans powered up, then AC button instantly started working on and off again.

Not a great photo, but speedo automatically changed while driving in Ambleside from mph to kph - speed warning circle still in mph. This has happened several times, and at least once changed back automatically to mph before being able to pull over and change settings manually.

24 Feb - speedo briefly showed 100 mph zone while the car was driving in less than 50 mph, then reverted back to normal. All happened too quickly to get a photo.

Standby mode is often greyed out, even when the ignition is switched on

Having ignition on rarely makes any difference

Activating Standby Mode switches off the alarm, which could potentially void car insurance

The call centre cannot see this currently active theft alert in the app.

The call centre cannot clear this theft alert, which locks out all other features on the app. Deleting and reinstalling the app hasn't worked. AM appsupport@ are unable to clear the alert and notified that it will require a dealership visit.

We've not had this for a couple of months, but the rear doors have occasionally not been able to be opened from the inside or outside as the windows wouldn't drop.
Almost always with the same elderly people trying the doors, so this may have something to do with the way they very very slowly open and hold the handles. The workaround has been to lock and unlock the car a few times and then open the

Obviously very common on many Astons and it makes a regualr appearance in the DBX despite almost daily use and many long journeys.
