because you then dont need to rely on third party plugins ;-)
The way I have sorted this is to edit one core file and do one template override
The core file
/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/cart.php
// UPDATE CART / DELETE FROM CART
$data->products[$i]['quantity'] = $product->quantity;
$data->totalProduct += $product->quantity ;
//Quorvia provide image to minicart
$data->products[$i]['image']= $product->images[0]->displayMediaThumb ('', FALSE);
edit by Milbo, added to core!
And in the template
templates/YOURTEMPLATE/html/mod_virtuemart_cart/default.php
<?php // no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
//dump ($cart,'mod cart');
// Ajax is displayed in vm_cart_products
// ALL THE DISPLAY IS Done by Ajax using "hiddencontainer" ?>
<!-- Virtuemart 2 Ajax Card -->
