Shaker 500 Audio System

Help !!!



I just bought a new Mustang GT. It has the Shaker 500 Audio System. I have not been able to find any helpful info on the system. The owners manual is useless. I would like to know where the auxilary input is located. I don't see any inputs on the front of the radio......



Thanks, Ron



That's because ther arn't any. ;-) The Shaker 500 is crud. It's a dime store CD player with mediocre speakers and lousy amps. My suggestion would be to trade up to something, anything else.

I replaced my Shaker 500 last week with a Panasonic CQ-VD6503U from Crutchfield. It was an easy install and sounds great coupled with some new speakers and amps.

To each his own I guess. I'm quite happy with the 500 in my vert. The sound is far better than the Pioneer DEH6400 coupled with Pioneer

6"x9" speakers in my old 95. Granted, it does not have many config options but I like the clean look and easy to operate controls as well as I do the sound it produces...

Ditto. My only gripe with it is that the mute button does not pause the CD. Why on Earth there is no pause button is beyond me.

Hey, don't grip. The CD player on my 93GT is a joke. To advance songs you have to reach around and across the shifter! It's friggin crazy. But if I want to get to all the unusual functions I never use, they are right there on the driver side. C'mon Ford. Man....!
