this is my 3rd one and now i am out of warranty

if i burn an audio disc, it will play like the first 6 tracks no problem

then it starts to skip...BAD...like all around the disc

maybe they have a recall out that i dont know about :crossesfingers:

 

Try burning the same disc at a slower burn speed and see if that makes any difference.

When I burn at the fastest speed the burner supports I sometimes have problems. But if I slow the burn speed to 16x or even 8x these issues will often go away.

 

Yank it and throw it in the trash or sell it on Ebay. Then get one of these or similar for $150. No CD's, no moving parts, no problems.........

upgrade the unit, I havent had any issue with my MP3 discs since they replaced it the first time, so if you really want to keep the stocker I will sell you mine so I can go buy my nav unit lol

 

Also try changing the software you use to burn discs. For example I find that using MusicMatch/Yahoo Jukebox to burn CDs are terrible for the Shaker but using Sonic works flawlessly for me everytime.

 

i want to try to keep the stock unit, i used to want to upgrade all the time, but since i have grown up, its alot easier to keep everything stock, and with the shaker, it sounds great!

i will try the slow burn

i bid on a unit from an 07 yesterday on ebay, if i get it, it will be 60 bucks lol


how much are you wanting for yours

 

Maybe also, try a different Brand of CD-R. I've been using Samsung with no problems. At least try a couple different brands and see if that does it........

 

Agreed here. I had the same problems until I switched to a better quality disc and now I don't have any problems at all.

 

Memorex & TDK CDRs work fine for me.....

 

I've got to admit that my Shaker 500 was starting to skip more and more on my 05 V6 when I traded it in.

The one in my 08 seems to work like a champ. And has some cool chrome accents to it. So, maybe......

Trade it in on a 08 GT?

Keep your wheels though!

 

lol...no trade for me, you know how much crap i would get for that reason

i allready traded one off (98) when i took it in for a headlight switch replacement



i tried a higher quality CD - Sony and a slower burn speed, 1st disc works great, 2nd one gave me a "Bad Disc" instantanious, however i re loaded it and works like a champ *Knock on wood*

thanks guys

 

OK, glad to hear it. If it happens again, maybe try a different brand of disc.

However I think the Shaker 500 in 2005 had some bugs in them. I think they got most of them out in the three years between my 05 V6, and my 08 GT. so, this could happen again.

I think the best way to go would be a new head unit with a memory card slot in it as described above. No moving parts, no CD changer, in fact no CD!
